The Ministry of Climate Change & Environmental Coordination, Government of Pakistan, has announced one position for a Social Media Manager under its PSDP project, Strengthening Technical Capacities of Ministry of Climate Change and Environmental Coordination (STC-MoCC&EC). The advertisement, bearing reference F.No. 6(1)/2025-Recruitment/STC, was published in daily Dawn on 21 September 2026.
This post sits at a notably senior pay scale for a single-seat communications role — PPS-08 — and the eligibility criteria reflect that: five years of proven experience managing institutional or campaign-level social media is a substantial bar, not an entry-level requirement. Worth noting too, this is a genuinely specialized brief rather than a generic social media post — the ad specifically asks for climate communication trends understanding alongside standard digital marketing skills, which tells you this hire is meant to communicate the Ministry’s actual policy and project work, not just run routine institutional posting.
The appointment is purely on contract, for two years initially, extendable by one further year subject to satisfactory performance, or until the project’s completion — whichever comes first.

Terms Worth Reading Before You Apply
Applications submitted by post or by hand will not be accepted — this is an online-only process through the National Job Portal. Government servants already in service must apply through proper channel as per law. If a candidate holds a foreign qualification, an HEC Equivalence Certificate is mandatory.
Only shortlisted candidates meeting the prescribed requirements will be called for test or interview, and original testimonials must be brought at that stage — not submitted with the initial application. No TA/DA is admissible for the test or interview. The Ministry has reserved the right not to fill the advertised post at all, without giving a reason.
One procedural detail worth understanding: the cutoff date for judging a candidate’s age, qualification and experience is the closing date of receipt of applications, not the date of the advertisement or the date of test. Incomplete applications, or those received after the due date, will not be entertained.
How to Apply
Apply online through the National Job Portal: https://njp.gov.pk/, within 15 days of the publication of this advertisement. A detailed job description is available separately on the Ministry’s own website: https://www.mocc.gov.pk/Jobs.
Application deadline (calculated): taking 21 September 2026 as the publication date, 15 days places the closing date at approximately 6 October 2026. The ad itself does not print a fixed calendar date — confirm the exact cutoff against the original newspaper copy or the National Job Portal listing before applying.
