Job description

Job Summary: As a media organization, JioStar India engages with a diverse ecosystem of third-party partners that support content creation, post-production, technology operations, and business services. To protect our content, data, and overall enterprise environment, it is essential that all vendors meet defined security, privacy, and operational standards.

The Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) Program ensures that every partner—content and non-content—is assessed for potential risks related to information security, data privacy, operational resilience, compliance, and content protection. This role plays a critical part in identifying vulnerabilities that may result in content leakage, data breaches, service disruptions, or regulatory non-compliance.

You will apply your expertise in risk assessment, privacy frameworks, and security controls to evaluate partners and support the creation of a secure, compliant, and resilient vendor ecosystem.

Collaborate with internal Legal, IT Security, Finance, Procurement, and Business teams to support onboarding and contract renewals.

Continuous Monitoring & TPRM Enhancement:
