About the role:
Encompass is a House of Brands that builds premium D2C labels for New India, including Stoa
Paris, SmallBatch, Blisshome, Quirkloom and more. Our brands meet customers online every
day. This role makes sure they also meet them in person, in rooms worth remembering.
You'll own our brand events from start to finish. These are intimate, high-touch formats:
launches, community evenings, founder dinners, pop-ups and partner showcases, where the
venue, the vendors, the run of show and the guest experience are all on you.
The work moves across cities. You'll get to know what each market expects, which venues
deliver and which vendors are worth keeping.
What you'll own:
Planning:
● Turn a brand brief into an event concept, budget and timeline, working with brand leads
and the leadership team
● Scout and shortlist venues in each city, then close them on the right terms
● Build the run-of-show, the production schedule and the contingency plans
Vendors and budget:
● Find, brief and manage caterers, AV, décor, photography and talent
● Negotiate rates and keep every event within its approved budget
● Build a reliable vendor bench in each city we operate in, and keep it current
Guests and execution:
● Own guest lists, invites, RSVPs and in office check-in
● Run the event day on the ground: set-up, flow, problem-solving and close-out
● Make sure the experience matches the brand down to the details: music, scent,
seating,
take-homes
Measurement:
● Collect guest and stakeholder feedback after every event
● Report on spend, attendance and outcomes against the goals set for each event
● Feed what you learn into the next one
Why this role:
● Ownership. Small events mean nothing gets lost in a hierarchy. Your decisions show up
in the room.
● Access. You'll work directly with leadership and meet our customers face to face.
● Range. Multiple brands, multiple categories and multiple cities make for a broader event
portfolio than most in-house roles.
● Network. You'll build relationships across India's key event markets: venues, vendors,
talent and industry partners.
What we're looking for:
● 2 - 4 years in event management, brand activations or experiential marketing, ideally
including premium or lifestyle brands
● A track record of running events end to end, not just supporting them
● Strong vendor negotiation and tight budget control
● Clear, fast communication with vendors, brand teams and leadership
● Composure on the day when plans change, and the judgment to fix things without
escalating everything
● An eye for detail and taste. You notice when something is slightly off.
● Comfortable with frequent travel and working weekends or evenings around events
● Based in Mumbai, or willing to relocate
