Jobst was a son of Count John V of Hoya and Elizabeth of Diepholz. Since his father married fairly late, Jobst was not yet old enough to govern the county when he inherited it in 1466. His uncle Albert Jobst, Bishop of Minden to up the regency.
Jobst had two brothers, Eric and John. They did not reach adulthood.
During his reign, the branch of the House of Hoya with ruled Lower Hoya died out in the male line. This led to a dispute between Jobst and the Dukes of Brunswick-Lüneburg about who should inherit. In 1504, Jobst had to his imperial immediacy and accept the County of Hoya as a fief from the Dukes of Brunswick-Lüneburg. He had to pay a large sum of money to receive this fief. This debt burdened the Counts of Hoya for the rest of the 16th century and caused the financial decline of the family.
