WHERE YOU'LL WORK

Rise Up Selects values in-person collaboration and the team cohesion that comes with it. We are an office-first company, based in Salt Lake City, where real-time communication and spontaneous idea sharing keep a fast-moving business moving.

For exceptional candidates we will consider remote arrangements, but this is the exception rather than the norm and requires strong self-direction and excellent communication.

Travel is required for festivals and major events, and availability during evenings and weekends is expected around announce dates, on-sales, and event weeks.

A note on our calendar: Time off is not available during the two weeks immediately preceding and the one week immediately following any Rise Up Selects festival or major event. We mention this upfront because it matters, our year concentrates the most demanding stretches around a handful of dates, and we want candidates to understand that rhythm before joining.

This is a full-time position.

Rise Up Selects provides equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants without regard to race, color, creed, ancestry, national origin, citizenship, sex or gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, marital status, religion, age, disability, genetic information, service in the military, or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal, state, or local law.

Rise Up Selects, LLC is an equal opportunity employer.

Rise Up Selects is an independently owned, full-service live entertainment production and marketing company. We produce our own festivals and concerts, and we provide end-to-end marketing, production, and festival services to promoters and event owners across the country.

Our work spans talent buying, marketing strategy, digital advertising, ticketing, event production, sponsorship development, and food and beverage programming. Whether we're building our own signature experiences or partnering with fellow promoters, we bring the same dedication to excellence and attention to detail that has defined our success.

We are a team that lives and breathes live music. We possess the drive, tenacity, character, and accountability to get things done daily, operating independently with authority and executing together toward a common goal.
