Information Technology

Where do you want to be 10 years from now? And what skill sets do you need to get there? In our IT units – IT Security, Infrastructure, and Global Information Technology – these are not hypothetical questions. We are a small company with big data needs. Our technical professionals don’t shy away from the day-in, day-out demands that come with supporting a premier global asset manager and we always have an eye on the future. MFS is a demanding environment for technical pros. We support two data centers, six global research offices, and laptops, desktops, PDAs, and thousands of applications for our employees. If you bring top-rate tech skills, want to learn financial services IT from skilled professionals, and believe you can be part of a team approach to innovation and problem solving, we want you to join us.

MFS® is a premier global investment manager. As we create new products and invest in new securities, markets, and nontraditional assets to meet the needs of investors worldwide, we look for our operations units to ensure data integrity, trade processing accuracy, collateral management, and corporate actions. If you are detail oriented, seek broad exposure to the mutual fund industry, and would enjoy the opportunity to develop core leadership skills, you may be a strong addition to our team.

IT Security

Professionals who have joined our team from high-security industries such as defense and pharmaceuticals marvel at the work we do. We operate a highly redundant, fully documented data environment using the best technology available. We often build proprietary security solutions to make sure the right people have the right access. We are not looking for rockstars - we’re looking for roadies with a passion for protection. If you believe you possess the latest technology security skills and are either a hands-on manager or a network engineer who recognizes the importance of communication and collaboration, we should talk.

Infrastructure

Servers, data centers, databases, video conferencing, even facilities management are all covered by our infrastructure team. We keep hardware operating, make sure databases are up and running, but mostly we look for innovators, technology professionals who have driven change in their previous workplace environments and who can troubleshoot as member of a highly skilled team. IT experience in financial services is not a prerequisite here; we like to think big and are interested to hear about your experience. We may be small in numbers, but we have big data needs. We offer an environment with great challenges and great support. MFS is a growing company with growing data needs. Maintaining a strong platform for MFS’ growth is central to our mission.

Global Information Technology (GIT)

If infrastructure keeps all the trains running, and security keeps us on the tracks, Global Information Technology makes sure that what we deliver at the end of the line supports the firm’s business plan. We need adept listeners with solid technical skills, developers and business analysts, programmers and applications support technicians who enjoy working directly with business people to develop solutions to complex problems. Whether introducing new funds, rolling out new marketing campaigns, or expanding our connectivity to key business partners, MFS offers a demanding, rewarding work environment. We believe working in GIT is no different than running a marathon or scaling a mountain. You lay out a plan. Vet it with your partners. Stay ready for the challenge and when you find success, you feel good about it.
