About this role
Operations & Production Manager – Events & Retail
Company: Nudge Asia
Location: Delhi NCR
Function: Operations & Production
Industry: Experiential | Events | Retail | Activations
About the Role
Nudge Asia is looking for a hands-on Operations & Production Manager who can take an idea from a design file to flawless on-ground execution.
You will manage end-to-end production and operations across events, brand activations, retail installations, pop-ups, exhibitions and experiential projects across India.
What You'll Own
* End-to-End Production: From recce and measurements to fabrication, installation, execution and dismantling.
* Fabrication: Strong understanding of carpentry, metal, acrylic, printing, signage, lighting, AV, materials and finishes.
* Events & Activations: Manage venues, vendors, manpower, logistics, technical requirements and complete on-ground execution.
* Retail Production: Execute POSM, kiosks, shop-in-shops, displays, pop-ups, window displays and permanent/semi-permanent installations.
* Vendor Management: Source, negotiate and manage fabricators, printers, AV teams, logistics partners and specialist vendors across India.
* BOQs & Costing: Prepare BOQs, vendor comparisons, production estimates and project budgets while constantly finding smarter ways to optimise costs.
* Quality Control: Ensure everything produced matches approved designs, dimensions, materials and finishing standards.
* Timelines: Build production schedules and ensure every deadline is met — including those very real last-minute event deadlines.
* Team Management: Lead internal operations teams, vendors, technicians and on-ground manpower across simultaneous projects.
* Problem Solving: Anticipate production challenges and find solutions quickly without compromising the creative idea.
Who We're Looking For
* 5–8+ years of relevant experience in event production, experiential agencies, retail production or fabrication.
* Strong technical understanding of how things are actually built, not just how projects are coordinated.
* Experience handling both large-format events and scalable retail rollouts.
* Ability to understand 2D drawings, 3D renders, technical drawings and BOQs.
* Strong vendor network across Delhi NCR and preferably other key Indian cities.
* Excellent negotiation, budgeting and project-management skills.
* Comfortable managing multiple projects simultaneously.
* Willing to travel across India and work on-site when required.
The Nudge Person
We need someone who can be in a client meeting in the morning, at the fabrication unit in the afternoon and at an event site at midnight — and be equally comfortable at all three.
If we can imagine it, you should know how we're going to build it.
Think fast. Build smart. Execute better.
