Project Manager CBT

About This Job

Habib Bank Limited (HBL) is hiring a Project Manager for its Core Banking Transformation (CBT) program, based at Habib Bank Plaza in Karachi. The listing, posted on 25 August 2026 on HBL's own careers portal, does not specify a vacancy count and represents a single senior program-management opening. The role is responsible for delivering the assigned program within its defined scope, timeline, and budget constraints, covering planning, controlling, monitoring, and directing program resources so that core banking transformation milestones are met on schedule. Given the scale of a core-banking transformation effort, the position carries significant visibility within the bank's technology and operations leadership.

HBL is looking for a candidate with a bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Business Administration, or a related discipline, along with more than ten years of experience in project management, requirements gathering and analysis, and technology services delivery - financial-sector exposure is preferred. A PRINCE2 or PMP certification is explicitly mandatory for this role. Key responsibilities include managing the classic triple constraints of scope, time, and cost (alongside quality) across competing program requirements; engaging a wide range of stakeholders including senior management, technical teams, and external vendors to build alignment and secure buy-in for program goals; and gathering and reporting metrics such as cost baselines, schedule adherence, and work-completion status through status updates, risk reports, and milestone tracking. The role sits squarely within HBL's core banking transformation effort, meaning the incumbent will regularly interface with senior management, technical delivery teams, and external technology vendors to keep transformation milestones on track and to surface risks or delays before they affect the program's overall timeline and budget. No age limit, domicile requirement, or quota is mentioned in the advertisement, leaving the role open to qualified applicants nationwide.

Candidates can apply online through the HBL People careers portal, creating or updating a profile against this listing before the application deadline. No salary figure or application fee is disclosed in the listing, consistent with HBL's usual practice of determining compensation based on the candidate's experience and its internal grading structure. The application window closes on 15 September 2026, and certified project managers with a strong technology-delivery and financial-sector background, comfortable managing large cross-functional programs involving both internal teams and external vendors, are encouraged to apply through the portal before the deadline. Given the seniority and certification bar set for this role, candidates should be prepared to speak to concrete program-delivery outcomes from past assignments during the selection process.
