Fintech jobs in Singapore

The digital revolution has changed the way we live our lives, of course, and it’s had a dramatic effect on the way we do business across the globe as well. The financial technology sector is a young one compared to most others, but it’s been growing at an extremely fast pace. It attracts professionals from a great many other disciplines, many of whom are keen to be joining a vibrant industry that’s seemingly in the first stages of a crucial, vital future.

There are so many reasons to look for FinTech roles, including:

• A large number of tempting vacancies
• A chance to be in at the birth of a new industry
• Job opportunities arise in all parts of the world
• FinTech experience is impressive on a CV
• A fast-paced role, often in extremely cool working environments
• The knowledge that you’re making a real difference
• Use of the very latest technology

As it is developing quickly, it has become apparent that a number of different career paths could help you become a success in FinTech. If you have a background as a data analyst, developer, risk manager or business development specialist, this could be the industry for you. The same applies to individuals who have worked in cybersecurity, finance and IT.

So much more than transferring money

If you thought FinTech involved little more than transferring money safely and quickly around the world, you should think again. Think blockchain, DeFi, cryptocurrency, online loans, investment apps, crowdfunding and so much more. This is an industry that is constantly thinking outside the box, that’s always looking for improvement and that places a premium on keeping one step ahead of both competitors and cybercriminals.

One of the busiest and most successful economies in the world, Singapore is the natural home of a number of FinTech specialists. This is a location that lends itself perfectly to international commerce, and if you’re looking to move your career path to an exciting, vibrant place here is where you need to be. If you have a background that dovetails with the needs of FinTech companies, we would like to hear from you.

It’s worth remembering that this is an industry that’s still in its early stages, so even if you think you don’t have the relevant skills to be a success you could be completely wrong. FinTech organisations haven’t got the mindset of more traditional sectors, so you may be just what they’re looking for without you even being aware of it.

The first step on the path to a new job in this sector should involve you forwarding your CV to the team at Michael Page. If we have roles that are suited to you we’ll get in touch as soon as possible. And to hear more about suitable vacancies be sure to set up a job alert. It only takes a moment or two and it could lead to you hearing about your next FinTech job ahead of the chasing pack.
