Job Overview
The Ministry of Planning, Development & Special Initiatives, Government of Pakistan, is recruiting a Consultant for Data Analytics and Data Science at SPPS-III grade. The position is offered on a contract basis and carries one vacancy.
The role supports the ministry's data work for policymaking, and the engagement is tied to the Ministry of Planning, Development & Special Initiatives rather than to a separate project office. The consultant's work centres on building and maintaining a data bank drawn from various sources, then using that data for exploratory analysis that identifies trends, patterns and insights.
Those findings feed into the policymaking process, so the role requires close coordination with economists, planners and IT specialists to integrate data-driven insights into policy frameworks. The consultant also prepares reports and presents findings to stakeholders, including senior management, assesses the impact of policies through data analysis, and frames concrete recommendations for improvement.
Interpreting complex data and providing actionable insights is a continuing part of the assignment, along with any other task assigned by the Secretary, PD&SI.
