About This Job

Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB), which works under the Ministry of IT and Telecommunication to grow Pakistan's IT exports and industry, has opened one contract vacancy for a Research Consultant at PPS-08 on the National Jobs Portal. The post was listed on 11 October 2026 and applications close on 25 October 2026. The consultant will design and carry out market research for PSEB's programmes, which covers research methodologies, qualitative and quantitative studies such as surveys, focus groups and interviews, and the analysis of market trends, consumer behaviour and competitive positioning in the IT sector. The role also involves turning findings into practical guidance for marketing campaigns and business strategy, preparing detailed reports, executive summaries and visual presentations, and helping clients understand their target markets and customer segments. Researchers and analysts who want to apply their skills to a national IT-promotion agency should find this opening relevant.

Candidates must hold at least sixteen years of education from an HEC-recognised university in management sciences, economics, research, public policy or business administration. The experience requirement is fairly specific. Applicants need at least six years of professional experience, of which at least four years must be spent managing PSDP programmes focused on marketing research, survey reports, data analytics and strategic management. They should also understand IT-industry market trends, branding and campaigns, and consumer behaviour, and PSDP, ADP or government-project experience will be preferred. The advertisement asks for strong project-management knowledge, excellent written and spoken English and presentation skills, the ability to work as part of a team, knowledge of the applicable regulatory frameworks, and good command of MS Project, Excel and similar tools. The upper age limit is 55 years, and no gender or domicile restriction is stated. The listing mentions both a 5 percent and a 3 percent annual increment tied to KPI achievement and overall performance, and both statements are reproduced below exactly as published.

Applications are online only, through the National Jobs Portal. Log in with a PAK-ID verified account, open the vacancy, choose Login to Apply and complete the form before 25 October 2026. The listing does not mention any application fee. PSEB has put an email address, a landline and a mobile number on the portal for queries. Because the job asks for a long PSDP research track record, applicants should describe their past projects carefully in the form and should not leave submission until the last day. Keep your CNIC, degree certificates and experience letters ready before starting, so the form can be completed accurately in one sitting.
