About This Job
The Ministry of Interior and Narcotics Control, Government of Pakistan, has advertised through the National Job Portal for the position of Chairperson, a single-vacancy, contract-based appointment on the SPPS-I special professional pay scale, based in Islamabad. The role is described as requiring an eminent professional to head the position, with the advertisement placing emphasis on a strong background spanning information technology, law, or the governance of social media and related emerging-technology policy areas. While the notice does not name the specific board, authority, or wing the Chairperson will lead beyond identifying the Ministry of Interior and Narcotics Control as the hiring entity, the breadth of the qualification criteria points to a senior oversight role connected to digital-policy or technology-governance matters under the Ministry's mandate. This kind of appointment typically carries responsibility for setting institutional direction, chairing governing-body meetings, and representing the organisation before the federal government and other stakeholders, though the advertisement itself keeps the description of duties brief.
Candidates must hold a recognised Bachelor's degree and bring at least 15 years of relevant experience in information technology, law, social media policy governance, or related emerging technologies; the advertisement treats these four experience streams as alternatives, so a candidate strong in any one of them is eligible to apply. The maximum age permitted at the time of initial appointment is 58 years, and the notice does not mention a minimum age, nor does it specify any domicile or gender restriction, so the post is open on merit to eligible applicants of either gender from anywhere in Pakistan. As with other senior contract appointments advertised through the National Job Portal, remuneration is understood to follow the stated special pay scale, though the exact monetary package is not disclosed in the advertisement itself. Given the seniority of a Chairperson-level post, candidates should be prepared to demonstrate a track record of leadership at a comparable level, even though the ad does not spell out a separate leadership-experience requirement beyond the 15-year technical threshold.
Interested and eligible candidates must apply online by logging into the National Job Portal (njp.gov.pk) and using the 'Login to Apply' option on this vacancy's own listing page; the advertisement does not mention any application fee. The notice was posted on 2 September 2026, and the application window remains open until 16 September 2026, giving prospective candidates a two-week window to prepare a complete application. Applicants should also keep the listed landline and mobile contact numbers on hand in case the Ministry requires any clarification during screening. Given the seniority implied by the SPPS-I scale and the broad technology, legal, and policy-governance experience sought, qualified professionals meeting the stated eligibility criteria are encouraged to apply well before the closing date through the official NJP portal.
