  The Pakistan Digital Authority is Pakistan's apex statutory body for national digital transformation, established under the Digital Nation Pakistan Act 2025. PDA is responsible for the country's Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI), AI and data governance frameworks, national digital standards, and the Digital Nation Masterplan &mdash; a cross-government programme covering all provinces, the whole of government, and 240 million citizens.
 </p>
 <p>
  <br/>
 </p>
 <p>
  This is not a typical government role. PDA operates with the mandate of a regulator, the ambition of a national transformation programme, and the urgency of a startup.
 </p>
 <p>
  <br/>

 <p>
  <strong>
   The Role
  </strong>
 </p>
 <p>

 </p>
 <p>
  <br/>
 </p>
 <p>
  You will carry two distinct but deeply connected mandates: AI supervision &mdash; building the regulatory, governance, and oversight architecture that governs how AI is developed and deployed across Pakistan; and AI use-case strategy &mdash; identifying, prioritising, and driving the AI applications that will transform government services and public outcomes at scale.
 </p>
 <p>
  <br/>
 </p>
 <p>
  You will report directly to the Chairperson and work alongside the Chief Data Officer and be part of PDA's integrated technology governance team.

  &rtrif; Own PDA's AI regulatory instruments under the Digital Nation Pakistan Act &mdash; including government AI use policies, AI audit frameworks, and conformity assessment protocols for high-risk AI systems
 </p>
 <p>
  <br/>
 </p>
 <p>
  &rtrif; Help establish the National AI Advisory Council &mdash; convening government, academia, civil society, and industry to inform national AI policy
 </p>
 <p>
  <br/>
 </p>
 <p>
  &rtrif; Develop Pakistan's position on sovereign AI infrastructure &mdash; national compute, foundational models, and AI supply chain resilience
 </p>
 <p>
  <br/>
 </p>
 <p>
  <strong>
   AI Strategy &amp; Use-Cases
  </strong>
 </p>
 <p>
  &rtrif; Build and own PDA's government AI use-case portfolio &mdash; identifying highest-impact applications across health, justice, education, taxation, social protection, and public safety
 </p>
 <p>
  <br/>
 </p>
 <p>
  &rtrif; Lead the strategy and oversight of PDA's AI solutions suite
 </p>
 <p>
  <br/>

 <p>
  &rtrif; Design the AI maturity assessment framework for federal ministries and lead national AI readiness diagnostics
 </p>
 <p>
  <br/>
 </p>
 <p>
  &rtrif; Drive Pakistan's AI talent and capability strategy in partnership with higher education institutions and the technology industry
 </p>
 <p>
  <br/>
 </p>
 <p>
  &rtrif; Build and lead PDA's AI Division &mdash; hiring AI policy specialists, applied AI engineers, and research capacity
 </p>
 <p>
  <br/>
 </p>
 <p>
  <strong>

 <p>
