What skills do fintech employers want from product managers?
Domain skills lead. Payments appears on 113 of the 209 PM roles (54.1%) and Compliance on 106 (50.7%). Both are far more common than across the whole panel, where Payments is on 47.0% of roles and Compliance on about 25.9%. Compliance in particular is about twice as common on PM roles as on roles overall, which suggests product managers in fintech are expected to work directly with regulation. Technical tags are also present, with Go on 22.5%, Data Science on 20.6%, REST on 14.4% and SQL on 10.0%. Fraud appears on 12.0% of roles.
The practical reading is that a PM candidate with payments knowledge and comfort with compliance requirements fits what half the listings ask for. See the guides to payments hiring and compliance jobs.

What does the PM market look like across the panel?
Product management is a mid-sized group. PM titles are 209 of 4,187 roles (5.0%), inside a broader product and design family of 404 roles (9.6%). Engineering, at 1,066 roles, is about five times larger. That means PM candidates compete for fewer seats, and the employers listed above account for most of them, so a targeted application list beats a broad one.
