Hi, we’re Fever

We’re excited you are checking out this job offer.

We are the leading global live-entertainment discovery tech platform with a clear mission: to democratize access to culture and entertainment.

How do we achieve our mission? Fever has developed a proprietary technology that inspires a global community of over 125M people through personalized and curated experiences in their local city whilst empowering entertainment and event creators to reach new audiences and enhance their experience.

Sounds amazing, right?

The preferences expressed by these communities allow us to create new experiences, which we call “Fever Originals”. These are proprietary experiences in which we follow a data-driven content creation strategy, using analytics to understand audiences and develop and optimize new formats. Some successful examples include the “Candlelight Concert Series” attended by over 4 million guests, which would be the focus of this role.

In order to pursue this objective we are looking for bar-raisers, people that want to work hard, have fun, and make history with us.

About the Role:

We are looking for an experienced, passionate, and critical-thinking junior event producer who will support our Project Manager in all aspects of production ensuring that high-quality experiences are delivered. This person will serve as the point of contact on the production side of all projects, being responsible for the third parties involved in the execution and development of the production deliverables.

To support the development of Scalable experiences, the Producer will research and periodically implement new venues, and solutions that could enhance Fever’s experiences.

This role requires flexibility, creativity, attention to detail, and the ability to meet deadlines while staying within budget. The ideal candidate has a proven track record in live event production.

• Communicate and collaborate with internal cross-functional teams and stakeholders to drive alignment and execution of event deliverables
• Participate in internal brainstorm meetings and contribute to creative ideation, particularly representing an on-the-ground perspective

• Research new vendors
• Venue research and booking
• Secure proper event permits and meet insurance requirements
• Handle administrative duties including expense reports, invoicing, and working with the legal department on contracts
• Domestic and international travel and work across time zones may be required

Preferred Qualifications:

You have a track record of successfully producing events with strong data analysis, oral and written communication skills. You thrive in a fast-paced environment and pride yourself on your flexible, detailed, analytical mindset.

The role requires a mix of business development and operational experience. Candidates need to be passionate about the entertainment/events industry. You will have to be comfortable delivering results in an ambiguous environment, being exceptionally detail-oriented while looking around corners, and thinking bigger about how we create a compelling experience.

• 1+ years of experience in the event production industry
• Ability to manage multiple cities and pull together multiple aspects of an event in an organized and efficient way
• Have an innovative mindset to identify cutting-edge solutions in the production space
• Have a strong network of vendors and venues
• Understanding of technical production requirements
• Familiarity with permitting processes
• Huge appetite for learning and the ability to pick up new skills quickly
• You'll be solution-focused, identifying problem areas and then creating plans to find resolutions
• Have strong communication skills and a proven track record of building positive working relationships
• Curious and keen to push boundaries and try new concepts
• Able to communicate with events partners, brands, agencies, and talent on efforts
• Ability to think strategically when faced with an events partnership brief or with our proprietary data on what events work
• Collaborative and willing to get hands dirty and work on all required events tasks
• Knowledge of promotional tools such as Facebook and Instagram is a plus
• Strong academic background is a plus
