On 7 October 2008, he was appointed an adviser to the government and was elevated to the post of finance minister after being elected as a senator from Sindh on 27 July 2009. Tarin resigned from the ministry on 23 February 2010 to "raise equity from the market for Silkbank," which while working at finance ministry was "a clear conflict of interest."[4]

Before his ministerial role, Tarin served as the country manager of Citibank[broken anchor] and did tenures as head of Habib Bank, Union Bank, and twice as chairman of Karachi Stock Exchange. He currently sits on the board of Silkbank.

On 17 October 2021, he was appointed Advisor to Prime Minister on Finance and Revenue.[5] He served as federal minister for finance and revenue till 17 October 2021 because he was unable to be elected as senator.[5]
