Location: Delhi NCR
Role: Full-time, six-month contract, with potential for a longer-term position
Working style: Predominantly in person
Travel: Frequent travel for site recces, rehearsals and live events
What we’re looking for:
- 7+ years of experience in large-scale live events, entertainment production or technically complex productions
- Strong knowledge of production, sound, lighting, staging, rigging, trussing and technical set-ups
- A genuinely hands-on approach to project and production management
- Proven experience leading teams and ensuring accountability
- Excellent leadership, communication and people-management skills
- Fluent in Hindi and English
- Highly organized, solutions-oriented and calm under pressure
- Strong working knowledge of Excel, production schedules, timelines and project-tracking systems
- Experience coordinating vendors, technical teams, artists, props, costumes, rehearsals and logistics
- Physically able and comfortable spending extended hours on-site and on your feet, including long production, rehearsal and show days
- Flexible and willing to travel frequently
- Comfortable working within a smoke-free workplace and production environment
To apply, please send your CV, a brief introduction, examples of large-scale live productions you have personally managed — including what you personally owned and executed — and 2 professional references who can vouch for the quality of your work, reliability and leadership on-site.
