NIC Lahore is looking for a PR and Communications professional to help amplify the stories, achievements and broader impact of Pakistan’s startup ecosystem, adding to the roster of positions being opened by the incubation centre. The role is centred on developing and executing PR and communication strategies that support NIC Lahore’s public presence and the visibility of the startups and initiatives operating under its umbrella.
Key responsibilities for the position include building strong relationships with media and industry networks, drafting press releases, media pitches and other communication materials, and coordinating media coverage, interviews and PR activities on behalf of the organisation. The role also involves managing external communications and brand messaging, along with supporting events, campaigns and NIC Lahore’s overall public facing presence, positioning the position as a fairly comprehensive communications function rather than one limited to a single channel or activity type.
Candidates applying for the role are expected to hold a degree in public relations, mass communication, media, marketing or a related field, along with excellent communication, writing and networking skills. Experience in PR, media relations or communications is preferred, though the listing frames the ideal candidate as someone who is creative, proactive and well organised, suggesting NIC Lahore is looking for a candidate who can bring both strategic thinking and practical execution to the role rather than one skill set alone.
The position is based at NIC Lahore’s Vogue Towers location on Mall Road, placing the successful candidate directly within the incubation centre’s operations and giving them close proximity to the startups and programming whose stories they would be responsible for communicating. NIC Lahore’s call for a strategic storyteller who knows how to secure the right media coverage reflects a broader recognition among incubation centres that effective public communication plays a meaningful role in building visibility for both the institution and the startups it supports.
The hiring announcement was shared alongside NIC Lahore’s network of institutional partners, including the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecom, Pakistan Software Export Board, Ignite National Technology Fund, NETSOL Technologies and HBL.
