Director Marketing & Communications

About This Job

National University of Sciences and Technology is recruiting one Director Marketing & Communications for its MARCOMS Directorate at the University Main Office in Islamabad. The verified NUST recruitment record identifies the vacancy as job number SS-89, assigns BPS-20 and publishes a monthly salary of PKR 300,000. The director will shape and deliver an institution-wide marketing and communications programme that protects NUST's brand, supports its strategic position and reaches national and international audiences. The remit includes brand management, public relations, publications, digital and social channels, internal communications, media engagement, institutional events and leadership of the MARCOMS team. The official record was posted on August 12, 2026, lists one position and closes on August 27, 2026. Applicants should use the direct NUST recruitment link because the vacancy page and the underlying official record control the live status and application workflow.

The essential qualification is an MBA or a master's degree in Marketing, Communications, Media Studies or a related discipline from an HEC-recognised institution. A master's specialization in Mass Communication and an additional qualification or certification in Digital Marketing, Brand Management or Strategic Communications are desirable rather than substitutes for the essential degree. Candidates need 18 to 20 years of progressive experience in marketing, communications or brand management, including at least five years in a senior leadership role. They must demonstrate experience developing and executing comprehensive marketing and communications strategies for a large institution or organisation and a proven record in media relations, brand positioning and multi-channel campaigns. Experience in higher education, the public sector or another large public-facing institution is desirable, as is institutional-level responsibility for digital marketing, social-media strategy and content marketing. The role also calls for strong English communication, editorial judgment, media-relations ability, team leadership, campaign analysis, crisis communication and the ability to manage competing priorities. The official age range is 35 to 59 years, with no separate gender or domicile restriction stated.

Applications must be submitted online through https://hr.nust.edu.pk/jobinfo/57c71df0-7180-48ae-9b14-a027424f02f1. Candidates should sign in or register, complete the portal profile and attach scanned academic and professional documents. NUST states that the most recent education certificate or degree must be attested or verified by HEC. Serving government or Armed Forces personnel must furnish a No Objection Certificate from their parent department or organisation. The portal warns that third divisions or a weak academic profile, pursuing rather than already holding a required degree, medical unfitness, insufficient NUST service or a missing institutional NOC may make a candidate ineligible. Late or incomplete applications are ignored, and only shortlisted applicants will be called for a test or interview; no TA/DA is admissible. No application fee is stated in the verified official vacancy data. Applicants should submit well before August 27, 2026, keep the confirmation and retain copies of every uploaded document. NUST may modify or cancel the recruitment programme, so candidates should monitor the same official detail page for any later notice.
