Job Description

Ninety One Corporate Profile: Investing for a world of change We started in South Africa, in '91. Back then, change was coming. Along with its challenges came the chance to invest in a better future. Our journey through that time taught us to recognise and embrace change and uncertainty. Change taught us to be bold. Resilient. Agile. To believe that active investing can be a force for good. Today, we manage 103.4 billion* for our clients globally. We still see the world from a different perspective. Whether it is the rise of the East or the rise of the machines, we'll always seek to make the best of it. Best for our clients, best for our company, and the best for the world we live in. We are investing for a world of change. We began as Investec Asset Management, a small start-up based in South Africa offering domestic investment strategies. In 2020, almost three decades of growth later, we de-merged from Investec Group to become Ninety One, an independent asset manager listed on the London and Johannesburg Stock Exchanges. While our name may have changed, we're still the same firm. We offer distinctive investment strategies spanning equities, fixed income, multi-asset, alternatives and sustainability to help institutional investors, those advising others and individuals navigate an ever-changing world. All of our employees have the opportunity to own part of the firm. We also have our founding leadership in place. Our distinctive owner culture allows us to commit to building a long-term, inter-generational business. It supports a business fully aligned with our clients' long-term investment objectives. *as at 31.03.2020 Country United Kingdom City London External Job Function IT Contract Type Permanent Job description Ninety One is looking for a Cloud Engineer to join our IT Infrastructure team in London.
