The ad lists only the requirements. The PSDF careers page, which we opened on 5 November 2026, describes the role in more detail. Read it yourself before applying, because PSDF can change it.
- Industry mobilisation: working with chambers of commerce, industry associations and employers and onboarding them for training programmes.
- Research: market-demand analysis, training-needs assessment and sector reports.
- Programme support: coordinating curricula with national training standards, drafting SOPs and guidelines, tracking enrolment and job placement.
- Travel inside Punjab can be needed; the page asks for good English report writing and working Urdu.
Specialist – Finance: What the Job Involves
From the same PSDF careers page (5 November 2026):
- Monthly financial close, trial balance and budget-versus-actual reports.
- Monthly reconciliations and support in preparing and monitoring the annual budget.
- Checking accounting entries in the ERP / SAP system and supporting the external audit.

Heads-up: on 5 November 2026 the PSDF careers page showed “Applications Open” on the Specialist – Finance page, but its list placed Specialist – Finance only under older closed posts (March 2026) and Specialist – Program Design in both the open and closed lists. The newspaper ad of 5 November with the 20 November 2026 closing date is the newest source we have. Check the live careers page before you apply.
