Exceptional Promise (Business Applicant): Applying with a Product Management Background in FinTech and Project Manager Background in Telecommunications

Stage 1
1

Hi All,

Under the Exceptional Promise route, I intend to apply for the UK Global Talent Visa towards the end of 2025 or the first quarter of 2026.

I have worked as a Business and Growth Manager and Product Manager for a FinTech startup in Nigeria. However, I currently work at Nokia Solutions and Networks as a Rollout and Project Manager. We are an equipment manufacturing company that provides and deploys the technology/product (hardware and software) used by network operators (MTN, Airtel, Glo, etc.) and connect these new technologies to our customer’s existing infrastructure.

Also, I started my career in the telecommunication industry as a field engineer.

Would my experience in the telecommunication industry count for the Tech Nation Endorsement Application?

Hi @Oghenerukevwe_Egbaiv

People in telecom sector do get endorsed. The field engineer roll might not be a fit though : please go through the official TN guide here thoroughly to see typical roles that qualify and if you will be able to provide 6-10 strong evidence towards mandatory and 2 optional criterias listed (the examples of evidences are listed as well).
