Job Profile Summary:
This is an outstanding opportunity to join one of the largest alternative asset managers in the world. Technology is central to Man’s business strategy and we are constantly looking at better ways of doing things. Our culture embraces change, and change is the norm rather than the exception in a constantly evolving organisation and industry. Due to a mixture of natural turnover, team expansion and upcoming projects we are looking for multiple candidates to fill several roles at varying levels of seniority, with the opportunity to advance over a relatively short period of time.

While project work will consist of longer term, more far reaching changes that are a mixture of extending existing systems, incorporating new technologies and building out our strategic technology platform in line with our long-term vision.
