More About This Job
Senior professionals with experience in corporate governance, Board affairs and company secretarial compliance had an opportunity to join Sui Southern Gas Company Limited (SSGC) as Deputy General Manager / Assistant Company Secretary in Karachi.
The official position carried Job Code 8580-01 and was published on July 5, 2026, with applications closing on July 20, 2026. The role required extensive professional experience and detailed knowledge of Pakistan’s corporate governance and securities regulatory framework.
Who Was Eligible?
The position offered two qualification routes.
Candidates holding CA or ACMA qualifications needed at least 9 years of post-membership experience, including a minimum of 3 years working in the Company or Board Secretariat of a listed State-Owned Enterprise or large listed company.
Candidates with an MBA needed at least 11 years of professional experience, including 5 years of relevant Company or Board Secretariat experience.
This made the vacancy suitable for experienced governance and secretarial professionals rather than junior accounting, finance or administration candidates.
Corporate Governance Knowledge Required
SSGC required candidates to have hands-on experience and strong command of several important laws and regulatory frameworks.
These included the State-Owned Enterprises Act 2023, SOEs Policy, Companies Act 2017, Securities Act 2015, Listed Companies Code of Corporate Governance Regulations 2019, PSX Rulebook and CDC Regulations.
Candidates applying for similar roles should therefore clearly highlight practical experience with regulatory filings, Board compliance and listed-company governance in their CV.
Board and Committee Responsibilities
A major part of the role involved supporting meetings of the Board of Directors and Board Committees.
The selected professional would help prepare meeting notices and agendas, circulate documents, record minutes, prepare action points and communicate Board decisions to relevant departments.
The role also required following up with departments to ensure that approved Board decisions were implemented properly.
Statutory Compliance and Reporting
The Deputy General Manager / Assistant Company Secretary also supports SSGC’s statutory compliance activities.
Responsibilities included maintaining compliance registers and statutory records, preparing draft compliance reports, supporting annual returns and handling required filings such as Forms 26, 28 and 29.
The position also involved helping prepare the company’s Annual Report, quarterly reports and corporate profiles while coordinating with relevant internal departments.
AGM, Shares and Dividend Matters
The role also covered governance activities related to shareholders.
Responsibilities included assisting with Annual General Meetings and Extraordinary General Meetings, maintaining share-related records and supporting matters involving share transfers, bonus issues, rights issues and dividends.
The selected candidate could also help prepare reports on the company’s pattern of shareholding for submission to relevant government authorities.
Risk Management and Ethics
The official responsibilities specifically require compliance with SSGC’s Enterprise Risk Management Framework and its Business Principles and Ethics Policy.
This means the successful candidate must combine technical corporate-law knowledge with strong professional judgment, confidentiality and ethical decision-making.

Candidates should also clearly mention practical work with listed companies, SOEs, statutory filings, Board meetings and corporate governance frameworks where applicable.
