Finance Manager/DDO (PPS-9)

About This Job

Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB) has advertised one contract-based vacancy for Finance Manager/DDO (PPS-9) via the National Job Portal, based in Islamabad. The incumbent will work under the direction of the Project Manager and Project Director, reporting to the Project Manager and assisting both in routine project-related tasks. As the post's title indicates, the role combines the duties of a project Finance Manager with those of a Drawing and Disbursing Officer (DDO), the designation under Pakistan's government financial rules for the officer authorized to draw and disburse funds from the project's assignment account, pairing naturally with the bill-processing and ledger duties described below. Primary duties include processing payments for the Project Director's approval, scrutinizing invoices, contracts, and related project documents ahead of payment, reconciling accounts with AGPR and the bank, maintaining books of account, following up with AGPR and the Ministry of IT for release of funds and bill clearance, and handling day-to-day finance and accounts functions for the project, ideally using automated accounting software.

Eligible candidates should hold an MBA in Finance, ICMA, ACCA, or an equivalent HEC-recognized qualification, backed by 8 years of relevant post-qualification experience as a Finance/Accounts Officer, covering bill processing, payables and receivables, complex financial transactions, fund and cash-flow reconciliation, financial projection, due diligence, and familiarity with tax laws such as sales tax; an international certification is viewed favourably. The advertisement also calls for strong communication, analytical, and presentation skills, the ability to work under pressure and resolve problems efficiently, sound interpersonal skills for a collaborative team setting, and proficiency in MS Excel, email, and general office productivity tools. A maximum age limit of 45 years applies, with no domicile or gender quota mentioned in the notice, so the opportunity is open to qualified finance professionals from across Pakistan who meet the stated education and experience thresholds.

Applications must be submitted online through the National Job Portal (njp.gov.pk) via "Login to Apply" on the vacancy page; no application fee is stated. The post was advertised on 4 September 2026 with a closing date of 19 September 2026, giving prospective applicants about two weeks to apply. Contact details for queries — an email address, landline, and mobile number — are listed directly on the portal listing for candidates who need clarification before applying. Given the specific finance/accounts and government fund-reconciliation experience sought, along with the dual finance-manager/DDO scope of the role, qualified candidates are advised to read the full advertisement on NJP carefully and submit their application well ahead of the deadline rather than waiting until the final days.
