State-owned mobile operator Teletalk Bangladesh has published a job vacancy on its website to find a new managing director.
Teletalk did not disclose why its current head Mujibur Rahman is resigning or where he is heading to.
The company however provided detailed information on the required profile of candidates, which had until 23 February to apply.
Applicants must be Bangladeshi citizens and aged between 55 and 62 “although age can be relaxed in the case of exceptionally-qualified, deserving candidates”, it said in the notice.
Candidates also need to have at least 25 years of managerial experience in the telecoms sector. The initial contract period runs for two years and is renewable for an extra one year.
His or her responsibilities will notably include listing the company on the country’s stock exchange, the job description read. Teletalk has been working on a potential IPO for the past three years.
Teletalk is one of Bangladesh’s smallest mobile operators. According to local reports, it recently signed an infrastructure sharing agreement with larger rival Airtel in order to cut costs and enhance the quality of services.
Along with three other operators, Airtel was awarded 3G spectrum in the country’s latest auction last September.
Teletalk also received a 15-year 3G licence for US$210m but without formal bidding. Only smallest player Citycell failed to secure frequencies after telling the regulator it could not afford the US$20m deposit because of financial issues.
