Shahabuddin was made director of the bank in June 2017 after the change of ownership of the bank.

He later served the bank as vice president. 

Shahabuddin represented JMC Builders, a Chattogram-based company, on the board of IBBL.

He resigned from the post after the ruling party Bangladesh Awami League nominated him as the president of Bangladesh.
