💼 Open Positions

Q: What is the last date to apply for National Foods Limited jobs in 2026?

The application deadline for both the Cluster Category Planning Manager (Req. ID: 8553) and the Assistant Manager Sales Reporting (Req. ID: 8383) positions is 12 July 2026. Applications must be submitted through NFL’s official SAP SuccessFactors careers portal before this date. Candidates are advised to verify the exact deadline on the official portal as it is subject to confirmation.

Q: Where is the Cluster Category Planning Manager role located?

The Cluster Category Planning Manager position is available across three cities — Karachi, Lahore, or Islamabad. This reflects NFL’s cluster-based commercial structure where each cluster manager is based in and responsible for their city’s market. When applying, candidates should indicate their preferred or assigned cluster location. The Assistant Manager Sales Reporting role is based exclusively at NFL’s Head Office in Karachi.

Q: What is the difference between the two NFL positions being advertised?

The two roles are quite distinct in focus. The Cluster Category Planning Manager is a commercially-oriented field role that bridges national category strategy with local market execution — it requires strong trade marketing and commercial acumen. The Assistant Manager Sales Reporting is an analytics-oriented headquarters role managing the sales MIS, KPIs, master data, and data-driven reporting across NFL’s sales function — it requires strong data management and analytical skills. Both require 4–6 years of experience.

Q: What experience background is preferred for the Assistant Manager Sales Reporting role?

The Assistant Manager Sales Reporting role is best suited to candidates with a background in sales analytics, MIS management, or data reporting within a large FMCG or corporate organization. Proficiency in advanced Excel, MIS tools, and ERP/CRM sales reporting platforms is highly valuable. The role also requires financial planning and forecasting ability, and candidates who have experience building dashboards, designing KPIs, or managing master data in SAP or similar enterprise systems will have a strong advantage.

Q: What does “Cluster Category Planning” mean at National Foods Limited?

At NFL, the “cluster” refers to a geographic market unit — in this case one of Pakistan’s major commercial cities (Karachi, Lahore, or Islamabad). The Cluster Category Planning Manager acts as both the voice of the category in the cluster (bringing national category strategy to local execution) and the voice of the cluster in the category (feeding local market intelligence back to the national category team). The role requires understanding both consumer behavior and trade dynamics in the specific city cluster.

Q: What is National Foods Limited known for in Pakistan?
