Event Producer (Ticketing)

OUR COMPANY CULTURE

Everything we do is rooted in the energy of the club culture and its ability to bring people together. Open dancefloors; where music, ideas and people meet.

Boiler Room started with a webcam taped to a wall, broadcasting from a warehouse in London, opening a keyhole to the city’s underground. DIY at it’s finest; raw uncut and homemade.

As an independent music platform and cultural curator, we remain true to that history. Connecting club culture to the wider world, on screen and irl through parties, film and video.

Since 2010 we built a unique archive; featuring over 4,000 performance, by more than 5,000 artists spanning 150 cities, enabling everyone regardless of where they live to enjoy the freedom it stands for.

Our remit is to platform music in new ways – sound on for the voices and stories of the fringes of the mainstream.

Boiler Room fosters a diverse and inclusive working culture and we ensure that everything we do is always in line with our manifesto. No matter our location, role or status within the company, we focus on working together to achieve the same vision.

Diversity is more than a commitment at Boiler Room — it is the foundation of what we do. All Boiler Room events and workplaces are inclusive spaces, enjoyed by everyone regardless of race, religion, nationality, ethnicity, physical ability, gender identity or sexual orientation. As an equal opportunities employer, we strongly encourage all those who are suitably qualified for the role to apply, particularly womxn, POC, differently-abled and/or LGBTQI people.
