Unit Head Settlement (AVP-I/AVP)

About This Job

Zarai Taraqiati Bank Limited (ZTBL), the country's specialized agricultural development finance institution, is recruiting a Unit Head Settlement at the AVP-I/AVP level, based in Islamabad or Lahore, with one vacancy available. According to the Bank's own advertisement, the duties attached to this post center on litigation and recovery support -- handling criminal cases relating to agencies such as FIA and NAB, supervising recovery and settlement matters, representing the Bank in court, and coordinating with local administration and law-enforcement bodies on infected-portfolio recovery -- making this a legal-and-recovery-oriented unit-head role within ZTBL's specialized banking structure rather than a purely treasury-settlement function. The incumbent will also be expected to identify process-improvement and automation opportunities within the recovery function and to keep internal teams aligned with the Bank's evolving compliance requirements around its infected loan portfolio.

Candidates should hold at least a Bachelor's degree from an HEC-recognized institute or university, whether earned domestically or abroad, along with a minimum of eight years of relevant experience; the Bank explicitly states that candidates who have previously worked with law-enforcement agencies will be given preference. The maximum age limit for this AVP-I/AVP grade position is 50 years, calculated as on the closing date of applications. No specific domicile condition has been set, and as with other ZTBL postings, the Bank encourages applications from women and persons with disabilities under its equal-opportunity policy, while excluding candidates with a prior court conviction or a disciplinary dismissal/termination from a previous employer. Gender is open to both male and female applicants, and no fixed departmental hierarchy is specified beyond the AVP-I/AVP grade itself.

Eligible applicants can apply online via ZTBL's careers portal at ztbl.com.pk/jobs, with the application window closing on 11 October 2026; only applications submitted online within this timeframe will be accepted, and there is no fee mentioned for the process. As with the Bank's other current openings, only short-listed candidates will be invited for interview, with no TA/DA payable for attending, and ZTBL reserves the right to accept or reject any application without providing a reason. The position comes with a market-competitive remuneration package at a specialized, nationwide financial institution with more than 500 branches. Professionals with a background in recovery, litigation coordination, or law-enforcement liaison work, and who are comfortable working out of either the Islamabad or Lahore office, are encouraged to apply before the deadline closes rather than waiting until the final day to submit their online application.
