Branch Operations Manager - Karachi

About This Job

Habib Bank Limited (HBL), Pakistan's largest commercial bank by assets, is hiring a Branch Operations Manager for one of its Karachi branches, located next to Sindh Medical College. The posting appeared on HBL's own careers portal on 27 August 2026 and carries no stated vacancy count, consistent with a single operational seat at branch level rather than a bulk recruitment drive. Acting effectively as the branch's second-in-command, the Branch Operations Manager works directly under the Branch Manager to keep day-to-day banking operations, regulatory compliance, and customer service running smoothly across a full-service commercial branch, coordinating where needed with Head Office departments such as Treasury, Credit Administration, Trade Finance, and IT.

HBL is looking for candidates holding at least a bachelor's degree with five to seven years of hands-on branch operations experience, since the role covers a broad operational mandate: account opening, cash and clearing functions, remittances, term deposits, ATM operations, and trade-operations support where applicable. The successful candidate will be expected to enforce the bank's KYC/AML policies and foreign-exchange manuals, ensure regulatory filings are submitted on time, take custody of the branch's ATM PINs, vault and safe keys, and security stationery, and lead the operations team through objective-setting and performance reviews. Beyond pure operations, the manager is also expected to drive migration of over-the-counter transactions to digital channels, support cross-sell and deposit-retention efforts alongside the Branch Manager, and ensure customer grievances are resolved to a satisfactory standard while keeping the branch's look, feel, and running costs within budget. The role additionally requires supervising the daily initialization and end-of-day close of the branch's banking application, coordinating with Head Office functions such as Treasury, Credit Administration, Trade Finance, Finance, Administration, and IT on operational matters, and working toward the best achievable audit ratings across internal, external, and State Bank of Pakistan inspections. The advertisement does not specify an age limit, domicile requirement, or gender quota, leaving the role open nationwide to candidates who meet the stated educational and experience thresholds.

Interested candidates can apply online by creating or updating a profile on the HBL People careers portal and submitting their application before the deadline. No application fee is mentioned in the listing, and compensation is not disclosed, in keeping with HBL's usual practice of negotiating pay based on a candidate's experience and the bank's internal grading structure. The application window closes on 8 September 2026, and professionals with a strong branch banking, compliance, and customer-service background are encouraged to apply promptly through the portal before the deadline lapses.
