About ShotgunShotgun is building the operating system for live music.
We empower event organizers, venues, festivals, and artists to grow their communities, monetize their creativity, and shape culture — with tools that make ticketing effortless and distribution powerful.
We’re not just another ticketing platform. We are the tech ally of a cultural movement. In an age where, if you don’t master technology, technology will own you — we’re building the infrastructure to make sure art wins in the end.
Shotgun is already powering the next generation of festivals, clubs, and cultural entrepreneurs across France, Brazil, Portugal, and the US. With $200M+ GMV and millions of fans worldwide, we’re just getting started.
About the RoleShotgun is hiring a Brand & Marketing Manager to own our marketing presence across the US. You'll be the person who makes Shotgun impossible to ignore in the American nightlife and live events landscape, building brand equity while driving measurable business outcomes for our organizer partners.
This role sits at the center of brand, growth, and community. You'll develop and execute campaigns that grow Shotgun's cultural footprint, drive app installs and first-time buyers, and prove to promoters and venue operators that Shotgun is the platform that actually moves tickets.
We're not looking for someone who can "do marketing." We're looking for someone who's been in the rooms, knows the scene, and can translate that cultural fluency into strategy and execution.
