Financial Advisor / Member (Finance)

About This Job

The Ministry of Interior has announced a senior-level vacancy at the Capital Development Authority (CDA), the civic body responsible for the overall development, planning and policy-making of the Islamabad Capital Territory. The Authority is looking for one highly qualified and experienced professional to serve as its Financial Advisor / Member (Finance) in Basic Pay Scale 20. This is one of the top financial positions in the CDA's management structure, and the person selected will be expected to steer fiscal planning, budgeting, financial control and the wider financial affairs of the Authority, while also helping to build its institutional capacity in financial management. The advertisement was published through the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority's job advertisement portal on 9 October 2026, and the Ministry has stated that the post will be filled strictly on merit through a transparent selection process. For experienced finance professionals who want to contribute to the management of the federal capital's main development agency, this is a rare and high-profile opening.

On eligibility, candidates need a first-class Master's-level qualification in economics or accounting-related fields. The accepted degrees are M.Sc. Economics or B.Sc. Honours in Economics, an MBA in Finance, or a B.Sc. Honours or M.Sc. in Accounting. Applicants must also be proficient in information technology, and professional credentials such as ACCA are mentioned as an added advantage, which will help candidates stand out in shortlisting. Alongside the academic requirement, the Ministry is asking for at least twelve years of experience in the relevant field, so this role is clearly aimed at seasoned professionals rather than mid-career officers. The single seat is open on merit, with no provincial or special quota allocation mentioned, and the advertisement does not prescribe an age limit or a domicile restriction. The appointment is contractual: the initial term is one year, and extensions can be granted annually on the recommendation of a performance evaluation committee with approval from the appointing authority. Unsatisfactory performance can lead to termination with one month's notice or one month's pay instead.

Applications are to be submitted online through the National Job Portal (njp.gov.pk) within fifteen days of the advertisement's publication. The PPRA listing gives 23 October 2026 as the closing date, so applicants should submit well before then rather than relying on any later portal deadline. Before applying, candidates are advised to download the detailed job description and the full terms and conditions of service from the Ministry of Interior's website, www.interior.gov.pk, and to make sure every part of the application is complete, because incomplete applications will not be considered. Only shortlisted candidates will be invited for an interview, and no travelling or daily allowance will be paid for attending it. The Ministry has also reserved the right not to fill the post or to withhold the appointment. If you meet the qualification and experience criteria, prepare your documents now, review the official advertisement, and lodge your application on the National Job Portal before the deadline.
