What Each Role Needs, in Plain English
1. Assistant Manager / Deputy Manager IT Security. This is the most demanding post. The bank wants someone who has built and run information security inside a bank for 8 to 10 years, not just in general IT. You should know firewalls (NGFW, WAF), VPN, NAC and EDR tools, follow the State Bank of Pakistan technology governance and risk framework, and write security policies aligned with ISO 27001, COBIT and NIST. You should also have secured core banking, ATM switches, mobile and internet banking, payment systems and fintech APIs. An active CISM, CISA or CISSP certificate is mandatory; without one, do not expect your application to be considered.
2. Assistant Manager / Deputy Manager Application Support. This post is about keeping the Core Banking System (CBS) running: solving user issues, parameter and product configuration, monitoring, and handling End of Day (EOD) and Start of Day (SOD) jobs. You also give functional support to branches and head office, manage user roles and access, and understand GL integration, reconciliation and interfaces between CBS and other systems. 8 to 10 years of IT experience is needed.
3. IT Auditor (Deputy Manager). You must already hold CISA or a similar audit certificate and have 5 to 8 years as an IT auditor. Expect to plan and run IT audits of banking systems (CBS, ATMs, mobile banking, RTGS, SWIFT, cards), judge controls against COBIT, ISO 27001 and COSO, and write clear observations and recommendations. Knowledge of loans, deposits, term deposits and SBP Prudential Regulations is expected.
How to Apply (by Post or by Hand): Step by Step
The ad says to submit your application and CV to the Head Office of KCBL, Gilgit. It does not give an email address or an online form, and the bank’s careers page shows only a PDF download for this ad. If you live outside Gilgit, a trackable courier (TCS, Leopards, M&P) is the safest way so it arrives before 12 November. Or call HR first and ask if they also accept email or hand delivery.
Pick one post (or send separate applications if you qualify for more than one). The ad says you must clearly mention the position applied for.
Write a one-page covering letter stating the exact title, for example “Application for Assistant Manager / Deputy Manager IT Security”, followed by your CV.
Attested copies of CNIC, Master’s degree and transcripts (HEC-recognized), experience letters, and professional certificates (CISM, CISA, CISSP or equivalent).
Example line:
The HR Department, Karakuram Cooperative Bank Limited (KCBL), Head Office, Jutial, Gilgit. Post applied for: IT Auditor (Deputy Manager).
Use courier with a tracking number. Phone HR on 457972 or 454755 a few days later to confirm the file arrived.
Only shortlisted candidates are contacted for an interview. No test date or interview date is given.
CV and Certificate Checklist for a Security or Audit Role
- One-page summary first: years in banking IT, key tools (for example NGFW, WAF, EDR, CBS names) and your certificate with its ID/number and expiry.
- Show banking context: mention CBS, ATM switch, mobile banking, RTGS/SWIFT work; generic IT experience will not match an 8 to 10 year banking requirement.
- Map to the ad: repeat its words (SBP framework, ISO 27001, COBIT, NIST, COSO) where they are true for you.
- Numbers: audits completed, incidents handled, systems covered, users supported.
- Certificate proof: attach a clear copy of CISM, CISA or CISSP and make sure it is active.
- Degree: Master’s or 16 years of education, HEC-recognized. Attach HEC equivalence if your degree is foreign.
