Rachel Job Poised for Senior Content Post as Banijay Rights Restructures
Rachel Job, formerly All3Media International’s unscripted SVP, is expected to take an EVP-level role overseeing scripted and unscripted rights at the merged Banijay and All3Media group. Several longtime executives, including Simon Cox, Claire Jago and Maartje Horchner, are leaving, while Denis Leroy has departed the international scripted division. The changes are shaping the distribution arm after the companies’ merger.
Rachel Job, previously a senior unscripted executive at All3Media International, is expected to move into an executive vice president-level position at the combined Banijay and All3Media operation. Her remit would span rights for both scripted and unscripted content, according to the report.
The restructuring also involves departures. Simon Cox, Claire Jago and Maartje Horchner are said to be leaving, while Denis Leroy has exited the international scripted unit. These moves are helping define Banijay Rights’ distribution structure after the merger.
The reshuffle could affect producers, writers, actors, and international buyers who rely on Banijay Rights for licensing. A consolidated leadership over scripted and unscripted catalogues may streamline dealmaking, potentially giving the distributor more leverage in negotiations. For audiences, it may influence which shows travel across borders and which platforms carry them. Industry staff may face uncertainty as veteran executives depart, though the long-term creative impact remains unclear.
