Chief Business Development Officer

About This Job

The Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB), the federal body tasked with growing Pakistan's IT and IT-enabled services exports, is hiring a Chief Business Development Officer on a contract basis, based in Islamabad and reporting directly to the CEO. The role sits at the heart of PSEB's export-growth mandate, responsible for shaping the organization's business-development strategy, building international partnerships, and driving industry facilitation initiatives that help Pakistani tech companies reach global markets — a senior, high-visibility position for an experienced professional in the technology and trade-facilitation space.

Candidates need at least 16 years of education with a degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Management, Economics, Business Administration, Public Policy, Finance, Marketing, or a related discipline from an HEC-recognized institution, together with a minimum of 12 years of post-qualification experience in IT, business development, ecosystem development, or industry facilitation. PSEB has also flagged several desirable, though not mandatory, strengths: a track record of opening markets through B2B, G2B, and G2G partnership development; around three years of project or program management involving multi-stakeholder coordination; and roughly three years of leadership experience in technology-focused or export-oriented sectors. The maximum age for the post is 56 years, with no minimum age or relaxation specified.

This is a contract position with pay set at the "Professionals" scale rather than a standard BPS grade, and no application fee has been mentioned. All applications must be submitted online through the National Job Portal before the closing date of 2 August 2026. Tap "Apply Online" above to go directly to PSEB's listing for this post and begin your application.
