PRCL Jobs 2026: Pakistan Reinsurance Hiring 3 Heads, Apply on OTS by 16 November
PRCL is hiring Head of Claims, Retrocession and Risk Management. Age 50, apply on OTS by 16 November 2026. See eligibility, the test syllabus and every step.
Pakistan Reinsurance Company Limited (PRCL) is hiring 3 department heads, and two of the posts close on OTS on 16 November 2026. Head of Retrocession (MSPS-7) and Head of Risk Management (MSPS-6) are applied for on ots.org.pk. Head of Claims (MSPS-8) is applied for on the National Jobs Portal (njp.gov.pk). The upper age limit for all three is 50 years.
PRCL is the state reinsurance company, under the administrative control of the Ministry of Commerce. The Open Testing Service (OTS) published the project, code PRCL2026B, on 1 November 2026. We read the OTS project page, the advertisement and the test syllabus on 5 November. Here is who can apply, what the test covers and how to apply without mistakes.
PRCL is hiring for 3 head posts, one seat each
Each post has one vacancy. All three are full time and on a contract that carries gratuity but no pension. Pay follows the government's Monetized Salary Policy (MSP), and PRCL calls it "market competitive". The advertisement does not print a salary figure.
| Post | Scale | Seats | Where to apply | Last date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Head of Claims | MSPS-8 | 1 | njp.gov.pk | 15 days from publication (check NJP) |
| Head of Retrocession | MSPS-7 | 1 | ots.org.pk | 16 November 2026 |
| Head of Risk Management | MSPS-6 | 1 | ots.org.pk | 16 November 2026 |
Retrocession means a reinsurer passing part of the risk it has taken on to another reinsurer. The Head of Retrocession runs that side of PRCL's business.
Check the qualification and experience rule for your post
Each post has two routes, a) or b). You need to meet only one. The age limit is "not more than 50 years as of the closing date of the advertisement".
- Head of Claims and Head of Retrocession, route a: Advanced Diploma in Insurance (ACII) with at least 6 years of experience in a general insurance or reinsurance company, a Takaful operator, or an insurance or reinsurance broker.
- Same posts, route b: a 16 year Master's or Bachelor's degree in Insurance, Risk Management, Actuarial Science, Commerce, Economics or Finance from an HEC recognised university, or CPCU, or Diploma (CII), with at least 8 years of the same kind of experience.

- Same post, route b: a 16 year degree in Insurance, Risk Management, Commerce or Finance, or CPCU or Diploma (CII), with at least 8 years in general insurance or Takaful, including at least 4 years in risk management.
PRCL prefers candidates who have handled reinsurance or retakaful placements, or underwriting and claims, for the first two posts.
The OTS test has 6 parts for each post
OTS has posted a "post-wise indicative syllabus". The biggest share for Head of Retrocession is insurance, reinsurance and claims. For Risk Management it is risk management itself. The test date is "to be announced".
| Test part | Head of Retrocession | Risk Management |
|---|---|---|
| English | 15% | 10% |
| Quantitative skills | 10% | 10% |
| Analytical reasoning | 10% | 10% |

PPRA is the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority. A quarter of the Retrocession test is on its rules, so study them even if you come from the private sector.
