Singapore FinTech Association and Accenture Singapore have partnered to launch the Singapore FinTech Talent Report for 2022.
With Singapore cementing its standing as a global FinTech hub, the report outlines the current landscape and key challenges, along with opportunities and recommendations to attract and retain talent within the FinTech sector.
Shadab Taiyabi, President of Singapore FinTech Association, said, “With the FinTech sector expected to expand, the demand and competition for talent will only grow. As we brace for a challenging and uncertain year ahead, FinTech leaders will need to prioritise the talent agenda and invest in the right talent in order to drive business growth. SFA stands firm in our commitment to extend support across Singapore's FinTech networks and to facilitate the provision of resources that FinTech companies need to grow.”
Nesan Govender, Talent & Organisation lead, Southeast at Accenture said: “The macroeconomic and geopolitical backdrop we operate against will intensify the demand for FinTech talent. In Singapore alone, 6000 new jobs are expected to be created in the next two years within the FinTech industry. Talent development needs to be the core of FinTechs’ strategic agenda. This includes rethinking human systems, reframing how work is done, investing in the capabilities of existing workforces - including keeping them meaningfully engaged, and identifying new pipelines of talent for the future. Keeping our talent future ready will pave the way towards a vibrant FinTech ecosystem in Singapore."
