The State Bank of Pakistan has advertised three posts in Karachi for its cyber security and information technology operations teams, with applications closing on 16 November 2026.

Two of the posts sit in the bank's Cyber Security Department: Senior Cyber Operations Analyst at grade OG-3 and SOC Administrator at grade OG-3. The third, Network Operation Center (NOC) Engineer, is in the Information Technology Operations Department.

The bank behind the posts

The State Bank of Pakistan is the country's central bank, responsible for monetary policy and the regulation of the banking system. Its Cyber Security Department protects the bank's own systems, while its information technology operations teams run the technology behind its work.

Lateral and contractual appointments

The bank describes the posts as lateral and contractual appointments, based in Karachi. Candidates must apply online through the bank's careers portal at career.sbp.org.pk; the bank says it will not accept applications in person or by email.

How to apply

Full details of each post, including the eligibility criteria and the application form, are published on the State Bank's official careers pages. Applicants should read the detail page for the post they want and apply online before the 16 November deadline.

The two cyber security posts are listed on the bank's Cyber Security Department careers page, and the NOC Engineer post on its Information Technology Operations Department page. The bank's careers portal carries the application forms for all three posts.
