Tech Valley Pakistan is hiring a Programme Coordinator for its Startup and Community Programmes in Islamabad, according to a post on its LinkedIn page. The company says it is looking for someone who is organised, good with people, and able to think quickly, and who can turn the many moving parts of an event or programme into something that runs smoothly. The role involves working with speakers, mentors, vendors, and event schedules, and handling last-minute changes without losing control of the programme. The position is full-time, based in Islamabad, and offered as a six-month contract with a view to extension, so candidates should expect an initial fixed term and a possible extension depending on performance and the company’s needs.
Candidates need three to five years of relevant coordination experience, and the company says availability from Wednesday to Saturday is required, which suggests that the programmes it runs are held mainly towards the end of the week. Tech Valley says women are strongly encouraged to apply. Applications are to be sent by email to yasir.khan@techvalley.pk with the subject line Programme Coordinator, and applicants should attach their CV along with a short note about a programme or event they have managed. The post does not give a salary range, a closing date, or a detailed list of responsibilities, so applicants will need to rely on the short description and on what the company has said about the role.
The company behind the vacancy runs a range of education and digital skills programmes in Pakistan. Tech Valley is a Google for Education partner and has delivered Digital Safar, a programme that teaches internet safety and digital citizenship to students, since 2023, when it launched the programme with Jazz. Google has said that Digital Safar has trained more than 300,000 students and 5,000 educators in Pakistan. Tech Valley has also run Digital Pasban town halls for parents and teachers on children’s online safety, and it works with universities on the Google Career Certificates programme, recognising institutions that enrol all of their allocated students. This week it also held an orientation for families of inDrive driver-partners in Islamabad as part of a digital safety and AI literacy programme.
Those activities show the kind of work a programme coordinator might support, since events and training sessions involve scheduling trainers and speakers, working with partner organisations, arranging venues, and keeping participants informed. The vacancy refers specifically to startup and community programmes, which suggests that Tech Valley is building a part of its work around founders and local tech communities as well as schools and universities. The post does not say which startup initiatives the new coordinator would work on or how large the team is. Interested candidates will need to decide whether the role suits them based on the details provided, and they can send questions about the job directly to the contact address listed in the post.
