A Crucial Role in Managing Sindh’s Lifeline Infrastructure
This is a premier opportunity for a distinguished finance professional to take on a pivotal role within a project of immense strategic importance for Sindh’s agricultural economy and water security. The Sindh Barrages Improvement Project (SBIP) is a massive undertaking, funded by the World Bank, aimed at modernizing and rehabilitating the critical barrage infrastructure that is the lifeline for millions. As the Finance Manager, you will be at the financial helm of this high-profile development project, ensuring fiscal discipline, transparency, and accountability in line with international standards.
This is far more than a standard accounting job. You will be operating in a complex environment that requires a masterful understanding of both public sector financial management and the stringent financial guidelines of international donors like the World Bank. Your responsibilities will encompass the entire spectrum of project financial management, including budget preparation and monitoring, managing disbursement requests, overseeing project accounts, and preparing detailed financial reports. A key part of your role will be to ensure robust internal controls are in place to mitigate financial risks and guarantee the efficient use of project funds.
Preference for candidates with professional qualifications like CA, CPA, or ACCA underscores the high level of technical expertise required. Your prior experience in managing donor-funded projects will be invaluable, as you will navigate the intricate procedures of World Bank procurement and financial reporting. You will be the linchpin ensuring that every rupee is accounted for and that the project remains in full compliance with both government regulations and donor requirements. This is a results-oriented role where your impact will be directly visible in the successful implementation of a project that will secure water resources for generations to come. If you are a finance expert with a passion for public service and development, this role offers an unparalleled platform to contribute to Sindh’s future.
