Bank of Khyber Jobs 2026 — 9 Head Office & Branch Openings, Apply by 5 November

Bank of Khyber — Peshawar, Islamabad, Karachi and Mardan (head office and branches)

By Muhammad Younus, Editor Posted: 24 Oct 2026 Updated: 30 Oct 2026 23 min read

The Bank of Khyber has opened nine live listings on its official careers page for head office and branch posts in Peshawar, Islamabad, Karachi and Mardan, and applications are accepted online only through bok.com.pk/careers. The bank prints no aggregate headcount for this round, so this article counts the live listings themselves: one Talent Acquisition post in the Human Resourcing Division closing 3 November 2026, one Head General Services Division post closing 5 November 2026, one Trade and TBML post in Karachi closing 4 November 2026, one Business Development Officer post in Mardan closing 4 November 2026, one account opening and KYC operations post at the head office in Peshawar closing 4 November 2026, one Shariah Audit Officer post closing 4 November 2026, and three IT networking posts in Islamabad, Peshawar and Karachi closing 1 November 2026. Every post requires minimum Graduation, with a relevant degree preferred for most roles, and experience requirements run from one year for the Business Development Officer post to fifteen to twenty years for the Head General Services Division post, so the round suits both early-career bankers and senior specialists, provided each candidate matches the grade and the closing date of the single post applied for. Two cautions belong in the first paragraph rather than in a footnote. First, the closing dates differ by post, and the earliest of them, 1 November 2026 for the three networking posts, is only days away, so a networking applicant who waits for the overall last date of 5 November will already have missed the post. Second, one further listing on the same careers page, Unit Head for Batch Hiring in the Human Resourcing Division, closed on 25 October 2026 and is therefore excluded from this article: it is expired, and applying against it now would waste the application. The round was reported on 23 and 24 October 2026, and the official careers page remains the only application route: applications by email, fax, post, courier, in person or by walk-in are not entertained, and only shortlisted candidates will be called for interview.

About Bank of Khyber

The Bank of Khyber is a provincial government-owned commercial bank headquartered in Peshawar, in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and it operates both conventional and Islamic banking windows through a branch network spread across Pakistan, with its head office functions concentrated in Peshawar and branches in the major cities, including Islamabad, Karachi and Mardan, which are the locations in this round. The bank was established in the early 1990s and has grown from a provincial institution into a scheduled commercial bank offering retail, corporate, SME, agriculture and treasury services, together with Islamic banking products through its dedicated Islamic division, and its recruitment therefore spans an unusually wide range, from branch sales and operations to head-office control functions such as audit, human resources and general services, and to technology functions such as network infrastructure. That breadth is visible in this round's nine listings, which pair a senior divisional-head post in general services with control posts in Shariah audit and trade-based money laundering prevention, with branch-facing posts in business development and account opening, and with three graded networking posts that together cover the bank's infrastructure team. The bank recruits through its own careers page rather than through a testing agency, and each listing carries its own grade, location, qualification, experience and closing date, so the careers page itself is the advertisement, and a candidate must read the listing for the single post applied for rather than treating the round as one vacancy with one date. Women and persons with special needs are strongly encouraged to apply, and the bank states that it is an equal opportunity employer and that all candidates are treated strictly on merit, which is the standard note carried on every listing in this round.

Vacant Positions — Post-Wise Details

Nine live listings are open, and the table below gives each listing's grade, location, qualification, experience and closing date exactly as the official careers page states them. The listings are not interchangeable: each has its own closing date, and the three networking listings close first, on 1 November 2026, followed by the Talent Acquisition listing on 3 November, five listings on 4 November, and the Head General Services Division listing on 5 November. A candidate should pick one listing, check its grade against honest experience, and submit before that listing's own closing date, because the overall last date of 5 November applies only to the final listing.

• Talent Acquisition — Human Resourcing Division (HRDG): The human-resources listing of the round, at the head office in Peshawar, closing 3 November 2026. The role manages the full recruitment cycle, from sourcing and screening to shortlisting, interviews and offers, with employer branding, policy and compliance work, and hiring analytics, and it needs 5 years of human-resource experience including 2 years of recruitment or talent acquisition in a commercial bank.
• Head General Services Division — O & S Group: The senior leadership listing of the round, at the head office in Peshawar, closing 5 November 2026, the overall last date.

Eligibility for this round is listing-by-listing, and that is the single most important structural fact about it, because there is no common test, no common grade and no common closing date: each of the nine listings is a separate vacancy with its own grade, location, qualification, experience and closing date, and a candidate applies for one listing, not for the round. The common floor is Graduation: every listing requires minimum Graduation, and a relevant degree is preferred for most roles, which means a candidate without a degree does not meet any listing, while a candidate with a degree but in an unrelated field may still meet the floor but will be weaker than a candidate whose degree matches the listing's preference. Beyond that floor, the listings diverge sharply. The senior listings test depth: the Head General Services Division post asks for 15 to 20 years of total experience, at least 10 years relevant in a bank, and 5 to 7 years as a Divisional Head or higher, which is a career-level requirement that rules out most applicants by itself, and the Talent Acquisition post asks for 5 years in human resources including 2 years in recruitment or talent acquisition in a commercial bank, which is narrower than general HR experience. The control listings test specialisation: the Shariah Audit post accepts Graduation, CA-Inter, CA-Finalist, ICMA or ACCA (Qualified), and then requires at least 2 years in Islamic banking or Islamic financial institutions, with Shariah audit, Shariah compliance or advances experience preferred, so a conventional auditor without Islamic-banking experience does not meet the preference, and the Trade and TBML post requires 2 to 3 years in trade or TBML with end-to-end knowledge of TBML, AML and CFT, trade advisory and transaction screening, which is again a specialist test. The branch and operations listings test shorter, practical experience: one year for the Business Development Officer post in Mardan, with bank sales or marketing preferred, and two years of operations in a commercial bank for the account opening and KYC post, with account opening or KYC experience preferred. The three networking listings form a graded ladder, and the grade structure is itself the eligibility test: 4 to 7 years for up-to AVP, 2 to 4 years for up-to AVP-1, and 1 to 3 years for up-to OG-I, all in networking in a reputable organisation, with Fortinet NSE4 or higher, Cisco, CCNP, CCIE or other IT-related certifications preferred, so a candidate should apply at the grade whose experience band honestly contains the candidate's own record, rather than reaching for the senior grade. No age limit is specified per post on the official careers page, and this article invents none; a candidate should not assume an age bar that the bank has not printed, and should instead check the individual listing before applying. Finally, the channel condition is absolute: online only through the careers page, and an application sent by email, fax, post, courier, in person or by walk-in is not an application at all, whatever the candidate's merit.

Salary & Benefits

The advertisement prints no salary figure for any of the nine listings, and this article therefore states none. What the official careers page does print is the grade for each listing, from OG-III for the Business Development Officer post on contract, through OG-I, OG-II, AVP-1 and AVP for the control, operations and networking listings, and VP-I for the Talent Acquisition listing, up to SVP-I to EVP-I for the Head General Services Division listing, and pay will follow those bank grades under the bank's own pay structure. Because the bank does not publish its grade-wise pay bands on the careers page, any monthly salary number circulating for these posts on a job board is an estimate carried over from another bank, another grade or another round, not a fact from this recruitment, and applicants should not plan household budgets around it. The advertisement also prints no application fee, and this article states none. The only money-related conditions that can be stated honestly are negative ones: no fee is mentioned on the official page, and no travel allowance or interview expense is promised in any listing, so a candidate called for interview should assume personal expense unless the bank states otherwise at the interview stage. Candidates who need a salary figure before deciding should ask the bank's Human Resourcing Division for the current grade position rather than relying on a number invented by a secondary site, and should weigh the grade, not a rumoured figure, when comparing listings.

Selection Process

The official careers page prints no test date, test syllabus or interview schedule, and this article invents none. What the careers page and the bank's standard process do state is the sequence that applicants should expect. Applications are submitted online only through bok.com.pk/careers, and each listing is screened first against its own qualification, experience and grade, so meeting the minimum Graduation floor does not by itself guarantee shortlisting: where applications are many, candidates whose degree, experience and certifications match the listing's preferences most closely will be shortlisted ahead of others. Shortlisted candidates are then called for interview, and only shortlisted candidates will be contacted, so an applicant who hears nothing after the listing's closing date should read that as not shortlisted rather than as a lost message. The document gate at the interview stage is the point at which many applications fail in practice: degrees, experience letters, certifications such as Fortinet or Cisco for the networking listings, and professional qualifications such as CA-Inter or ACCA for the Shariah Audit listing must support everything claimed on the online form, and a claim that cannot be documented at that stage will not survive, whatever the form accepted. Because the listings print no test syllabus, preparation should concentrate on the listing itself: for the Head General Services Division post, real-estate, procurement, vendor management and business-continuity judgement; for the Shariah Audit post, Shariah principles applied to banking operations and audit reporting; for the Trade and TBML post, trade-finance red flags and AML and CFT screening; for the account opening and KYC post, SBP regulations and KYC and CDD procedure; for the Business Development Officer post, product knowledge and target-based selling; and for the networking posts, network design, security and troubleshooting at the grade applied for. The bank reserves the right to accept or reject any application without assigning a reason, and candidates should verify the latest position on the careers page before relying on any secondary report, because listings close on different dates and an expired listing, such as the Batch Hiring post that closed on 25 October 2026, is no longer open.

Documents Required

• Updated CV showing qualification and relevant experience, matched to the single listing applied for.
• Educational certificates and degrees: Graduation certificate and degree, with a Bachelor's or Master's in the relevant field where the listing prefers one.
• Professional qualifications where applicable: CA-Inter, CA-Finalist, ICMA or ACCA (Qualified) for the Shariah Audit post.
• Experience letters from employers, showing the years and the nature of the experience claimed against the listing's experience band.
• IT certifications where applicable: Fortinet NSE4 or higher, Cisco, CCNP, CCIE or other IT-related certifications for the networking posts.
• Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC), as the careers page requires.
• Recent passport-size photograph, as the careers page requires.
• Any additional document the careers page asks for against the listing applied for when the online form is completed.
• A saved copy of the submitted online application and its confirmation, for reference at the interview stage.
• No Objection Certificate from the current employer, where applicable, ready for the interview stage.

Terms & Conditions

Applications are accepted online only through the Bank of Khyber careers page at bok.com.pk/careers, and applications submitted by email, fax, post, courier, in person or by walk-in will not be entertained. Each listing carries its own grade, location, qualification, experience and closing date: 1 November 2026 for the three IT networking listings, 3 November 2026 for Talent Acquisition, 4 November 2026 for the Trade and TBML, Business Development Officer, account opening and KYC, and Shariah Audit listings, and 5 November 2026 for the Head General Services Division listing. The Unit Head Batch Hiring listing closed on 25 October 2026 and is excluded from this article. No age limit is specified per post on the official careers page, and no salary figure is printed for any listing, so neither is claimed here. Women and persons with special needs are strongly encouraged to apply, and the bank states that it is an equal opportunity employer and that all candidates are treated strictly on merit. Only shortlisted candidates will be called for interview, and the bank reserves the right to accept or reject any application without assigning a reason. Candidates should verify the latest position on the careers page before relying on any secondary report.
