Vice President - Business Development (International Business)

About the Team

JioStar is entering its next phase of growth, building a world-class media and entertainment powerhouse with the ambition to become the leading destination for premium Indian-produced content.

With 600M+ monthly active users in India, the JioHotStar platform has already achieved unmatched domestic scale. The focus now is on leveraging this strong foundation to expand into new markets to unlock new audiences and revenue streams. At the core of this ambition is a bold international strategy to build a next-generation entertainment and sports ecosystem that seamlessly blends premium content, technology, and distribution at scale. We are at a defining inflection point as we take this vision beyond India.

About the Role

The Strategy Lead will anchor the International Business agenda across linear and OTT, driving growth in a platform-led, direct-to-consumer ecosystem. Partnering closely with the Business Leader, the role will define where to play and how to win across priority markets, leveraging a scalable platform while optimising traditional distribution to enable capital-efficient expansion and long-term value creation. The role will prioritise markets and adjacencies, and architect entry strategies (organic, partnerships, acquisitions) that integrate linear and OTT (DTC/enterprise-grade technology architecture) models. A key focus will be on structuring strategic partnerships to unlock distribution, monetisation, and ecosystem scale globally.

The mandate also includes driving strategic rigor, anchoring planning cycles, establishing performance frameworks, and translating market and data signals into clear decisions. Success will be defined by the ability to align cross-functional teams and deliver measurable business impact across both broadcast and digital platforms.
