The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Technology Board has invited applications for several consultant positions under the Enterprise Data Management for Governance Density Index project, with the roles initially offered for a six month period that can be extended subject to satisfactory performance and the availability of funds. All positions are based in Peshawar, and applicants must hold a minimum of sixteen years of education with a degree in ICT or a related discipline from an HEC recognized institution.
The most senior position advertised is the Enterprise Data Management Coordinator, a single post requiring a minimum of ten years of experience, including three years specifically in data management. This role appears positioned to oversee the broader coordination of the project’s data management functions, given its seniority relative to the other advertised positions. KPITB is also seeking a Data Governance Specialist, requiring seven years of experience including two years in data governance, and a Data Science Architect, also requiring seven years of experience but with at least three years specifically in data based product designing, a combination that points to a role focused on structuring how data driven products are built within the project.
Further positions include a Senior Data Scientist, requiring seven years of experience with two years in data science, and a Data Engineer, requiring five years of experience including two years specifically working as a data engineer. A Data Security Analyst position is also available, requiring five years of experience with two years in data security, reflecting the project’s apparent need for dedicated security expertise alongside its broader data management and analytics functions, particularly given the sensitivity that often accompanies government held data. Two Data Analyst positions are also being offered, requiring a minimum of three years of relevant experience, making them comparatively more accessible than the other roles in terms of required experience, and potentially opening the opportunity to a wider pool of early to mid career candidates.
Taken together, the seven advertised roles span a range of seniority levels and specializations, from senior coordination and governance positions down to more junior analyst roles, suggesting the project requires a team covering the full data management lifecycle, from governance and security to architecture, engineering and analysis. The project’s name, tied to a Governance Density Index, suggests the underlying work may involve measuring or mapping governance related data across the province, giving these roles a direct connection to how KP’s government tracks and manages its own administrative data. Detailed Terms of Reference, along with the full qualification and eligibility criteria for each position, are available on the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government’s jobs portal. Interested candidates can apply by emailing a detailed CV to the board’s recruitment address, clearly mentioning the position title in the subject line, with KPITB stating that only shortlisted candidates will be contacted following the application review process.
