PSEB operates under the Ministry of IT and Telecommunication and exists specifically to grow Pakistan’s IT and IT-enabled services exports — the kind of organization that shows up in tech policy discussions rather than everyday hiring cycles. This particular round of hiring is tied to a named PSDP-funded initiative: the “GDPR-Driven ISO Compliance & IT Export Enhancement Program.” That project name is doing real work here — it tells you these aren’t general administrative roles, they’re built around bringing Pakistani IT companies up to international compliance standards (GDPR being the EU’s data protection regulation, ISO 27001 being the information security management standard) so those companies can compete for export contracts that require this kind of certification.
The Four Positions
Project Manager (PPS-09)
- Qualification: Minimum 16 years of education from an HEC-recognized university in Management Sciences, Human Resource, Business Administration, Computer Sciences, Engineering, or IT
- Preferred certifications: CISA, CISSP, ISO 27001, or GDPR
- Experience: Minimum 8 years professional experience, including at least 4 years specifically managing projects focused on capacity building for IT companies
- Preference given to candidates with prior PSDP, ADP, or other government-funded project experience
- Age limit: 45 years
Finance Manager / DDO (PPS-09)
- Qualification: MBA Finance, ICMA, or ACCA (or equivalent) from an HEC-recognized institution
- Experience: 8 years of relevant post-qualification experience as a Finance/Accounts Officer — covering bill processing, receivables and payables, reconciliation of funds and cash flows, financial projection, financial analysis, due diligence, and tax law knowledge
- International certification preferred
- Age limit: 45 years
Project Officer (PPS-08)
- Qualification: Minimum 16 years of education from an HEC-recognized university in Management Sciences, Human Resource, Business Administration, Computer Sciences, or IT
- Experience: Minimum 4 years post-qualification experience in Human Resource Development, Project Management, or Capacity Development projects
- Preference given to candidates with PSDP/ADP/Government project experience

Assistant Manager Monitoring and Evaluation (PPS-08)
- Qualification: Minimum 16 years of education from an HEC-recognized university in Management Sciences, Human Resource, Business Administration, Computer Sciences, IT, or Project Management

- Age limit: 45 years
A Detail That Will Disqualify Otherwise-Strong Candidates
The ad states plainly: “Only post qualification experience will be considered.” This matters more than it might seem on first read — if you gained relevant experience before completing your 16-year degree or your MBA/ICMA/ACCA, that time doesn’t count toward the experience requirement listed against your post. Someone with 8 years total work history but only 5 of them after finishing their degree would fall short of the Project Manager’s 8-year bar, for instance, regardless of how relevant those earlier years were.
PSDP Experience Comes Up Repeatedly — For a Reason
Three of the four posts explicitly mention that candidates with PSDP (Public Sector Development Programme), ADP, or government-funded project experience will be given preference. This isn’t boilerplate — since the role itself sits inside a PSDP-funded program, PSEB is signaling it wants people who already understand how these government development projects are structured, reported on, and audited, rather than candidates coming purely from private-sector project management. If your background is entirely corporate/private sector, it’s still worth applying, but be ready to speak to how your experience translates to a government-funded project environment.
How to Apply — Online Only, No Exceptions
This is worth reading carefully because it removes two application routes many candidates default to: “Applications submitted via email or post will not be entertained.” Everything must go through one of two web portals:
- njp.gov.pk, or
- techdestination.com/careers/
Detailed qualification criteria and full job descriptions are available on those same portals — the print ad gives you the summary, but the complete terms of reference live online.
Deadline: September 19, 2026.
Other Conditions
- Only shortlisted candidates will be called for interview; no TA/DA is admissible
- Government or semi-government employees must apply through the proper channel
- PSEB reserves the right to cancel or reject any application without assigning a reason
- PSEB states it is an equal opportunity employer and encourages all qualified individuals to apply, regardless of gender, disability, or background

Given how specific the “post-qualification experience only” rule is here, it’s worth comparing your eligibility carefully against other current Project Officer Jobs before applying, since this kind of experience-counting rule isn’t always spelled out as clearly elsewhere.
Based on a newspaper advertisement published September 4, 2026 (PID(I) 2151/26). Confirm complete eligibility criteria and application steps directly at njp.gov.pk or techdestination.com/careers before applying.
