About Explera DMC

Role overview

We are seeking a creative and highly organised Event Coordinator to plan and deliver outbound incentive groups, dealer meets, MICE departures and destination weddings for Indian partners. Our partners bring incentive, MICE and wedding groups to Asia, and the event is often what guests remember most.

You will take each event from the partner's brief to the night itself: venue options, costings, run-of-show, supplier briefings and on-site delivery.

  • Prepare clear, on-time quotations with sales and contracting

2. Venue & supplier management

  • Book and brief venues, caterers, AV, decor, entertainment and photographers
  • Negotiate supplier terms and keep a vetted supplier list

3. Event delivery

  • Write run-of-show documents and supplier schedules
  • Be on site for set-up, the event and breakdown, including evenings and weekends
  • Solve problems on the day before guests notice them

4. Budget & close-out

  • Track event budgets and close out supplier invoices after the event
  • Collect partner feedback and share a short post-event report

Requirements

  • 2+ years coordinating events, MICE or weddings
  • A network of event venues and suppliers in India
  • Calm and organised under pressure, with strong attention to detail
  • Hindi and Gujarati and business English
  • Willing to work evenings, weekends and on site during events
  • Valid right to work in India

Why join Explera DMC?
