Event project manager — live events & production

Cirque de India is looking for an experienced Event Project Manager to join our growing team in New Delhi. We create large-scale live experiences bringing together performance, contemporary circus, dance, music, technical production and visual storytelling.
This is a hands-on role.
We’re looking for a doer who can lead — not simply a manager who delegates.
Someone who takes personal ownership, stays close to the details, steps in where needed and is comfortable moving between leading meetings, updating schedules, coordinating vendors, checking technical requirements, managing teams on-site and solving problems in real time.
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.
