Marketing Jobs in Karachi 2026 – Associate Marketing & Communications at AKU Hospital

Marketing jobs in Karachi are open at Aga Khan University Hospital for the position of Associate, Marketing & Communications. Two details make this worth a close look: the experience bar is set at 0 to 2 years, which puts it within reach of recent graduates, and the role is a locum position on a fixed-term contract rather than a permanent post.

What “Locum” Means Here

A locum contract is a fixed-term appointment rather than an open-ended one. For someone early in their career this is often an advantage: it is a realistic way into a large institution, it puts recognised hospital-sector experience on a CV, and locum staff at AKU frequently apply for permanent roles once they are inside the organisation. Anyone applying should simply be clear that the contract has a defined end date.

Marketing Jobs in Karachi – Role Overview

The Associate supports the development and execution of strategic and tactical marketing initiatives across the organisation. The work spans digital and traditional channels, event support, content creation and campaign reporting, so it suits someone who wants breadth rather than a narrow specialism early on.

Key Responsibilities

Marketing jobs in Karachi at AKU Hospital involve the following duties:

• Collaborate with internal stakeholders to develop and implement marketing and communication plans aligned with business objectives
• Develop and execute integrated digital and traditional marketing campaigns
• Create engaging content and promotional materials for digital, social media and print platforms while maintaining brand consistency
• Coordinate with internal departments, external agencies and vendors for effective execution of campaigns and projects
• Support the planning and execution of events, promotional activities and other marketing initiatives
• Monitor campaign performance, market trends and competitor activity to identify opportunities and improve marketing effectiveness
• Support brand and reputation management initiatives, and prepare campaign, budgetary and impact reports
• Provide marketing and communication support to assigned business units and other projects as required

Requirements and Eligibility

• BBA or MBA degree in Marketing or a related field from a recognised institution
• At least 0–2 years of relevant experience in marketing, communications, advertising or a related field
• Knowledge of digital, web and social media platforms
• Strong verbal and written communication skills in both English and Urdu
• Experience in content development and creating marketing materials, with knowledge of graphic design and video editing tools
• Proficiency in MS Office applications
• Strong organisational and time management skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities, meet deadlines and work both independently and in a team

Comprehensive reference checks will be conducted before appointment.

Why This Suits Fresh Marketing Graduates

Most marketing jobs in Karachi advertised by large employers ask for three years or more. This one starts at zero. The trade-off is the fixed-term contract, but for a recent BBA or MBA graduate the exchange is usually worth it: hands-on campaign work, agency coordination experience and a well-known name on the CV.

Candidates should note that both English and Urdu communication skills are required, and that design and video editing knowledge is expected rather than optional. Having a small portfolio of content work ready will strengthen an application considerably.
