Available Positions
The Ministry advertised three separate specialist management vacancies. Each position had one vacancy. Although all three were management-level appointments, their academic qualifications and professional-experience requirements were different.
- Manager (Textile) — MP-III: 1 position
- Manager Financial Analysis — MP-III: 1 position
- Manager (Information Technology) — MP-III: 1 position
Candidates therefore needed to compare their academic and professional backgrounds with the exact requirements of the position they intended to apply for rather than treating the three vacancies as interchangeable manager posts.
Eligibility Requirements by Position
Manager (Textile) — MP-III
The Textile position targeted professionals with formal textile-sector education and relevant professional experience, including experience connected with government policies and programmes relating to the textile and apparel sectors.
- PhD in Textile Engineering, Textile Technology, Textile Sciences or Textile/Apparel Management.
- Qualification from an HEC-recognized local or foreign university.
- At least 3 years of professional experience in the public and/or private sector.
- Relevant experience was also expected to include a proven record involving government policies and programmes related to the textile and apparel sectors.
- Master's degree in Textile Engineering, Textile Technology, Textile Sciences or Textile/Apparel Management.
- Qualification from an HEC-recognized local or foreign university.
- At least 5 years of professional experience in the public and/or private sector.
- Relevant experience connected with government textile and apparel policies and programmes was also required.
Manager Financial Analysis — MP-III
The Financial Analysis vacancy was intended for professionals with relevant finance, accounting, banking or related academic and professional qualifications.
- Relevant finance, accounting, banking or professional qualifications as listed in the original advertisement.
- Qualification from an HEC-recognized local or foreign institution where applicable.
- At least 3 years of relevant working knowledge or professional experience.
- Master's-level qualification in the relevant finance, accounting or banking discipline specified in the advertisement.
- Qualification from an HEC-recognized local or foreign university/institution, as applicable.
- At least 5 years of relevant working knowledge or professional experience.
Because this position recognized more than one finance or accounting-related qualification pathway, candidates needed to compare their exact qualification with the original advertisement.
Manager (Information Technology) — MP-III
The Information Technology vacancy was linked specifically with Information Technology and Computer Science rather than general management education.
- PhD in Information Technology (IT) or Computer Science (CS).
- Degree from an HEC-recognized local or foreign university.
- At least 3 years of relevant working knowledge or professional experience.
- Master's degree in Information Technology (IT) or Computer Science (CS).
- Degree from an HEC-recognized local or foreign university.
- At least 5 years of relevant working knowledge or professional experience.
Difference Between the Three Roles
These vacancies were not three interchangeable manager positions. Each role targeted a different specialist professional background.
- Manager (Textile) focused on the textile and apparel sector and required relevant sector qualifications together with the specified policy/programme-related experience.
- Manager Financial Analysis focused on finance, accounting, banking and related analytical expertise.
- Manager (Information Technology) targeted professionals whose academic and work background related to IT or Computer Science.
This distinction is important because holding a postgraduate degree alone did not automatically make a candidate eligible for all three vacancies.
Age Limit and 3-Year vs 5-Year Experience Rule
The maximum age specified for the advertised positions was 62 years. Age was to be calculated on the closing date for submission of applications.
The professional experience requirement depended on the applicable qualification route. The recruitment generally required at least 3 years of relevant experience for the PhD route and at least 5 years of relevant experience for the Master's route.

Why This Recruitment Page Is Kept as an Archive
An expired recruitment page can still provide useful information when its status is clearly explained. Readers may need to verify an earlier advertisement, confirm an advertisement reference, understand historical qualification requirements, review previous contract conditions or compare earlier Ministry recruitment criteria.
An archive should not make an expired vacancy appear active. For this reason, active “Apply Online” wording and application buttons have been removed from this article.
Readers looking for future Ministry of Commerce vacancies should check the Ministry's official website and Careers / Jobs section instead of attempting to apply against this expired advertisement.
