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: Robust 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.
