About Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB)

PSEB Manager Procurement Jobs 2026 in Islamabad (PPS-08). PSEB is the apex government body under the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication, tasked with promoting Pakistan’s IT and IT-enabled services sector and driving export growth in the industry.
