Live Business Head — India & SAARC

Company: RTHYMS () Location: Mumbai, India (on-site) Type: Full-time | Senior Leadership Experience: Minimum 9+ years in live entertainment / touring / artist bookings Reports to: Founder & CEOAbout RTHYMS

RTHYMS is the world's first fully automated music label and end-to-end music ecosystem — creation, production, distribution, marketing, monetization, and career growth on one platform. Headquartered in Mumbai and Dubai, we're home to artists, labels, influencers, and agencies, with a roster spanning established and breakout South Asian talent, and partnerships with the world's leading music companies.

We've built the machine that takes an artist from local story to global stage. Now we're building the live business to match — and we need a leader who can own it end to end. The Role

As Live Business Head — India & SAARC , you will own and scale the entire live vertical for RTHYMS. Your mandate is simple and ambitious: bring shows for every artist across our roster — headline concerts, festival slots, brand-backed shows, private events, and domestic and international tours — and build the ecosystem of partners that makes it repeatable at scale.

This is a builder's role. You'll set the strategy, close the deals, run the relationships, and grow the team. What You'll Own

Show acquisition & programming — Proactively secure and program shows across the roster: ticketed concerts, festivals, brand activations, corporate shows , private events, and domestic and international tours across India and SAARC markets. Brand ecosystem — Deep engagement with the complete brand ecosystem connected to live entertainment in India & SAARC — sponsorships, IP tie-ups, brand-funded tours, and integrated campaigns. Direct global brand relationships — Direct, personal access to decision-makers at global brands such as Coca-Cola, Pepsi , and other major consumer brands, as well as holding companies and agency networks like WPP Group — able to originate and close brand partnerships without intermediaries. Production ecosystem — Command of the full live production landscape: promoters, production houses, technical vendors, stage/AV/logistics partners, and show-delivery standards. Venues & compliance — Working knowledge of key venues across India and SAARC, including their capacities, commercial terms, restrictions, licensing, and operational constraints. Ticketing & revenue — Relationships with ticketing platforms and partners; ownership of pricing, inventory strategy, and live revenue P& L. Global agency & label network — Leverage and grow deep relationships with global companies such as Live Nation, CAA, UTA, Paradigm, HYBE , and other international music companies connected to brands, production, ticketing, and global talent — for inbound international tours and outbound global opportunities for our artists. Global festival placements — Actively secure slots for RTHYMS artists at major festivals in India, SAARC, and worldwide (e.g. Coachella, Lollapalooza, Glastonbury, Rolling Loud, Wireless, Tomorrowland, and leading South Asian diaspora festivals) — working festival bookers, curators, and promoters directly. Festival programming or promoter-side experience is a strong advantage. Revenue ownership across the roster — Own the live revenue P& L across all RTHYMS artists: set targets per artist, drive show volume and deal value quarter on quarter, and grow live into a major revenue line for the company. Team & operations — Build, hire, and lead the live business team from the ground up — bookings, brand partnerships, production, and touring functions; establish processes for deal flow, show advancing, settlements, and reporting. What We're Looking For 9+ years in live entertainment — artist booking, touring, concert promotion, festival programming, or live business leadership at a label, agency, or promoter. Demonstrated track record of closing and delivering shows across India and SAARC markets — including corporate shows and festival placements for artists at domestic and global festivals. An active, personal network across brands, promoters, venues, production companies, and ticketing platforms in the region. Existing relationships with (or credible access to) global players — Live Nation, CAA, UTA, Paradigm, HYBE , and comparable international agencies, labels, and touring companies. Direct brand-side contacts at global brands (e.g. Coca-Cola, Pepsi Co ) and global agency networks (e.g. WPP Group ) — you can pick up the phone and reach brand marketing leadership directly, not through layers. Strong commercial instincts: deal structuring, sponsorship sales, show economics, and settlements — with experience owning revenue targets and building and leading teams . Ability to operate at founder-speed — hands-on, accountable, and comfortable building from zero. Based in (or willing to relocate to) Mumbai ; travel across India, SAARC, and internationally as required. Nice to Have Festival experience — programming, producing, or promoting music festivals. Experience taking South Asian artists to international markets (or bringing international acts to India). Exposure to large-format stadium/arena shows. Why Join RTHYMS Own an entire vertical at one of the fastest-moving music companies in the region, with a roster that includes some of South Asia's biggest and fastest-rising artists. Work directly with the founding team, backed by partnerships with the world's leading music companies. Build the live business of an artist-first ecosystem designed to take talent from local story to global stage.
