for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should map headings accordingly.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: privacy notice, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, legal, etc. Keep substantive info.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions.
We need to include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we need sections: About the role? Actually "About Man Group" is company overview, could be "About the role"? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we can adapt: "About the role" could be overview of role? Might be better to use "About the team" or "About Man Group"? However they said use those headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It seems they expect those headings if applicable. We have content for: About the role (maybe description of role), Responsibilities, Skills & Qualifications (could be Skills and Qualifications), Benefits, Pay. Also maybe "Working Here" could be part of Benefits or culture; but we could put under "Benefits"? But they said only include section when posting has real, specific content for it. We have content about working environment, culture, benefits. So we could have a "Benefits" section covering benefits and work-life balance. Also we have Pay range.
We also have "About Man Group" which is company overview; maybe we can put under "About the role"? Not exactly. Could we create a section "About the team"? Not in list. But we could treat "About Man Group" as "About the role"? Might be okay. However they said "About the role" is example; we could also use "About the team" if we think it's appropriate. But they said use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The e.g. suggests those are examples, not exhaustive list. So we can use other headings as needed, but they gave examples. Safer to stick to those examples if possible.
We have content for:
- About the role: could be description of role & responsibilities? Actually we have "Role & Responsibilities" separate. So we could have "About the role" as a brief overview: "Junior quantitative researcher ..."? But we also have responsibilities list. Might split: "About the role" short paragraph, then "Responsibilities" list.
- Responsibilities: list of duties.
- Requirements: maybe "Skills & Qualifications" can be split into Requirements (must-haves) and Qualifications (plus). But we can combine.
- Skills: maybe separate.
- Benefits: include benefits, work-life balance, Mankind days, holiday, pension, etc.
- Pay: salary range.
- Schedule: not mentioned; we should not create Schedule section because no specific content.
We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So omit Schedule.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract:
Company overview: Man Group description, assets, HQ, listing, etc. This is substantive. Should we include? It's about the company, not role. Might be okay to include under "About the role"? But maybe better to have a section "About Man Group". However not in examples but we can still use heading. The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, just gives examples. So we can add "About Man Group". That seems appropriate.
We must remove boilerplate: privacy notice, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Also remove "As at 30 June 2026". That's metadata; maybe we can keep as short paragraph? It's not essential but it's substantive? It's a date; could be considered metadata but not job ID. Might keep as short p.
We need to remove "Further information can be found at www.man.com". That's maybe boilerplate? It's a link; could be considered navigation? Might remove.
We need to remove "Learn more at www.man.com/diversity." That's also link.
We need to remove "Equal Employment Opportunity Policy" etc.
We need to remove "Man Group is a Disability Confident Committed employer; if you require help..." etc.
We need to remove "As at 30 June 2026" maybe keep? It's a date; not essential but could be considered metadata. I'd drop it.
We need to keep "The Team" description: "Man Group is one of the world’s largest publicly listed alternative investment managers. The Systematic Securitized Credit team builds systematic trading strategies across securitized products and the fixed-income markets around them, researching markets, signals and portfolio construction to capture returns that are hard to reach and hard to replicate. AI is embedded throughout our workflow, from research to execution." That's substantive.
We need to keep "Role & Responsibilities" bullet list.
We need to keep "Skills & Qualifications" bullet list.
We need to keep "Working Here" description: culture, benefits, etc.
We need to keep compensation: "The anticipated based salary range for this position is listed below. Compensation packages would also include benefits and a discretionary bonus. ... US Pay Range: $110,000 USD - $130,000 USD". Also mention that firm reserves right to modify.
We need to keep "Inclusion, Work-Life Balance And Benefits At Man Group" paragraph.
We need to keep "Like all our people, you'll receive two annual 'Mankind' days of paid leave for community volunteering. Our comprehensive benefits package includes competitive holiday entitlements, pension/401k, life and long-term disability coverage, group sick pay, enhanced parental leave and long-service leave. Depending on your location, you may also enjoy additional benefits such as private medical coverage, discounted gym membership options and pet insurance."
We need to keep maybe "We offer competitive compensation, a generous holiday allowance and flexible health and other benefits, and we invest in development through coaching, mentoring, conference attendance and sponsorship of academic and professional qualifications." That's from Working Here.
We need to avoid duplication.

About the role
We are looking for a junior quantitative researcher with a background in agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and CMOs. You will sit with the portfolio managers and senior researchers who run the strategy, splitting your time roughly evenly between the analytics that inform live trading and your own research into new sources of return. Junior members here own research; they do not only support other people’s.

- Helping senior PMs & researchers finding new & profitable trading strategies & alphas
- Researching, scoping, and onboarding new securitized markets and sectors
- Improving our systematic trading platform for securitized products, following markets & research
- Doing novel research on trading signals, prepayment modeling, pricing, and hedging
- Utilizing AI tools across all above responsibilities to make research & trading more efficient & impactful
Skills & Qualifications
- A degree in a quantitative discipline — engineering, mathematics, physics, computer science or similar.
- At least a year working with agency MBS: on a buy-side desk, at a dealer, or an analytics vendor.
- Understanding of Agency MBS concepts: TBA, rolls, payup-ups, collateral attributes, prepayment behavior and drivers.
- Strong applied statistics and programming ability: the judgement to tell a real result from noise, and the discipline to write code others can read, test and build on.
- The ability to discuss and present complex ideas in an intuitive, easy to follow way.
- Following are plus: understanding of CMO structures (IO/PO/Floater), GSE program types, Prepayment model calibration or validation, various spreads & durations, systematic back-testing and portfolio construction.
Working Here
Man Systematic is flat, open and meritocratic, with a small-company feel and no attitude. You will have direct access to the people running the strategy and real influence over what we build. We are actively engaged with the academic and wider research community, and open-source some of our technology (github.com/man-group). We offer competitive compensation, a generous holiday allowance and flexible health and other benefits, and we invest in development through coaching, mentoring, conference attendance and sponsorship of academic and professional qualifications.
Benefits
You'll thrive in our working environment that champions equality of opportunity. Your unique perspective will contribute to our success, joining a workplace where inclusion is fundamental and deeply embedded in our culture and values. Through our external and internal initiatives, partnerships and programmes, you'll find opportunities to grow, develop your talents, and help foster an inclusive environment for all across our firm and industry. You'll have opportunities to make a difference through our charitable and global initiatives, while advancing your career through professional development, and with flexible working arrangements available too. Like all our people, you'll receive two annual 'Mankind' days of paid leave for community volunteering. Our comprehensive benefits package includes competitive holiday entitlements, pension/401k, life and long-term disability coverage, group sick pay, enhanced parental leave and long-service leave. Depending on your location, you may also enjoy additional benefits such as private medical coverage, discounted gym membership options and pet insurance.
