HYBE Americas is part of HYBE, a global leader at the intersection of music, entertainment, and technology. We represent some of the world’s most influential artists and continue to expand our creative and cultural impact across the Americas. At HYBE, we believe in the power of music and foster a culture built on Passion, Autonomy, and Trust.

Position Overview

The Creative Department at HYBE Americas is responsible for bringing our artists’ creative visions to life across live performances, tours, and global promotional moments. Within this group, the Live Production team plays a critical role in translating bold creative concepts into technically sound, world-class live experiences that connect artists with fans around the world.

This is a full‑time, hybrid role based in our Santa Monica office, with in‑person collaboration 3 days per week and remote work 2 days per week. This role will also require frequent domestic and international travel.

Candidates must be based in or willing to relocate to the greater Los Angeles area at their own expense prior to their start date — we are not offering relocation assistance for this role, though it may be considered on a case‑by‑case basis for select candidates.
