Data Analyst – Media Monitoring

About This Job

The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), the country's central bank, has announced an opening for one Data Analyst – Media Monitoring position (OG-3) within its External Communications Department (ECD), based in Karachi. The successful candidate will design and manage interactive dashboards that track media coverage, campaign performance, and sentiment across print, electronic, and digital platforms, while serving as SBP's focal point for its media-monitoring agency. Core duties include categorizing media stories for archival purposes, benchmarking SBP's media presence against industry standards, building standardized reporting frameworks and KPIs to measure communication effectiveness, and supporting crisis communication by providing early alerts and rapid analytical briefs during sensitive situations. The role also involves close coordination with SBP's senior management to translate raw media data into clear, actionable insight, positioning the incumbent at the intersection of data analytics and public communications and making the post central to how the central bank understands and responds to its media footprint.

Candidates should hold a Bachelor's or Master's degree, representing a minimum of sixteen years of education, in Data Analytics, Business Analytics, Computer Science, Media Sciences, Mass Communication, Business Administration, or Economics from an HEC-recognized university, whether domestic or foreign. The advertisement does not specify a minimum age limit or a fixed number of years of prior experience for this post, though familiarity with dashboard-building tools, sentiment-analysis software, and media-trend reporting would suit the role's day-to-day responsibilities well. SBP describes itself as an equal-opportunity employer and explicitly encourages women, candidates from minority communities, transgender persons, and persons with disabilities to apply; the advertisement does not mention any domicile restriction, so the post appears open to eligible candidates nationwide rather than being limited to a particular province or region.

Interested applicants must apply online through SBP's Career Development portal at career.sbp.org.pk, either registering a new account or logging into an existing one before completing the application. No application fee is mentioned in the advertisement, and compensation is described as a competitive, market-based package with an attractive salary and a well-rounded benefits structure in line with SBP's organizational rules. The closing date for submissions is 31 August 2026; applications that do not meet the advertisement's stated requirements will not be entertained, and only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for subsequent stages of the hiring process. SBP also cautions that any candidate found to have misinformed the recruitment process, improperly influenced it, or tampered with age or educational documents will be disqualified even if otherwise eligible, so interested applicants are advised to review the eligibility criteria carefully and submit their application well ahead of the deadline.
