Do you know about banking or financial services? Are you lacking technical expertise but willing to learn? Companies in the financial arena are looking for you. As an article in July PM Network reports, there is a shortage of project talent in fintech, or financial technology. Banks are willing to train people who know their industry. Some financial services organizations will indoctrinate those with strong IT skills to the world of finance. And while traditionally, banks have a reputation for being a formal and “stuffy” work atmosphere, fintech culture is more like software development culture—more casual and flexible. So get those résumés ready!
If you are involved in fintech, please use the comments to tell us your experiences with a talent shortage.

Fintech and Financial have a talent shortage. Having spent 2 decades in the industry, I've seen first hand cases of good and not so good talent management. Good edition.

Indeed having spent 21 years in the financial services industry,the digital disruption was not well thought out by the banks and leading banking training institutions.The reactive respond by banks is still inadequate as the changes in its environment are at a faster rate than rate of change in the organisation.The gap between the current and desired state in the banks in relative to Fintech remain too wide.It is unwise for banks to get satisfied after investing in an ICT department than start a PMO.Additionally banks ought to proactively dedicate more resources and invest in Fintech PMs to narrow the gap.

I work for a mid-sized credit union, and have organically begun to take on our fintech projects as PM. Just starting an online banking conversion project, one of our largest tech projects yet as far as impact to our members. My background is in facilities management, and as of last year I've also become the risk manager for the organization.
