The Board of Investment operates under the Special Investment Facilitation Council Division, and this particular hiring round is for BOI’s Business Facilitation Center (BFC) in Islamabad — the unit that exists specifically to make it easier for investors to navigate government processes. All three positions here are contract-based, and interestingly, every single one shares the exact same core academic requirement, which makes this ad worth reading a little differently than most.
The Positions
Manager Business Facilitation Centre (PPS-8, 01 post, Open Merit)
- Qualification: Second Class or Grade “C” Master’s Degree (16 years of education) in Business Administration, Public Administration, International Relations, Economics, or a relevant qualification from an HEC-recognized university
- Experience: In relevant field, preferred
- Age: 25–35 years
- Place of Posting: Islamabad
Business Facilitation Officer (PPS-7, 02 posts, Open Merit)
- Qualification: Second Class or Grade “C” Master’s Degree (16 years of education) in Business Administration, Public Administration, Economics, International Relations, or a relevant qualification from an HEC-recognized university
- Experience: In relevant field, preferred
- Age: 22–30 years
- Place of Posting: Islamabad
Front Desk Officer (PPS-7, 01 post, Open Merit)
- Qualification: Second Class or Grade “C” Master’s Degree (16 years of education) in Business Administration, Public Administration, Communication, or a relevant qualification from an HEC-recognized university
- Experience: In relevant field, preferred
- Age: 22–30 years
- Place of Posting: Islamabad
Why the Repeated Qualification Bar Actually Matters
Look closely, and a pattern emerges. All three posts ask for the same academic foundation: a 16-year Master’s degree, minimum Second Class/Grade C. Only the subject specialization shifts slightly. Front Desk Officer adds “Communication” as an accepted field — the other two don’t list it.
This tells you something about how BOI views the role. Front Desk Officer isn’t a typical clerical or entry-level job here. Even this post is treated as a graduate-level, subject-matter position. Don’t assume it carries a lighter qualification bar than Manager or Business Facilitation Officer. The degree requirement is identical across all three.
How to Apply — Online Only, No Hard Copies Accepted
This is stated unusually firmly in the ad: “No hard copy of application shall be accepted and all applications must be sent via NJP online.” There’s no fallback paper submission route here at all.

- Application submission: njp.gov.pk (National Job Portal)
- Deadline: within 15 days of the advertisement’s publication — since the ad appears to have run around September 15, 2026, this puts the closing date around September 30, 2026. Confirm the exact date on the portal since the ad states a 15-day window rather than printing a fixed date directly.
Shortlisted candidates already working in the government sector are required to produce an NOC at the time of interview — this is separate from, and in addition to, the general rule about applying through proper channel if you’re already in government service.
Other Conditions
- Original documents must be produced at the time of interview
- Information provided on the application form will be verified if selected; false or forged information can lead to cancellation of candidature, even after appointment, if discovered later
- If a candidate doesn’t fulfill any of the recruitment rules for a post, BOI can cancel their candidature and withdraw their nomination at any stage
- The department reserves the right to cancel the recruitment process entirely, or increase/decrease the number of posts per requirement, without assigning any reason
- Only shortlisted candidates will be called for interview; no TA/DA is admissible for test or interview

Since every post here shares the same demanding qualification bar despite their different seniority levels, it’s worth comparing this against other current Management Jobs postings in Islamabad before applying, particularly if you’re weighing the Front Desk Officer role against something with a lighter academic requirement elsewhere.
