Baillie Gifford & Co |

Let’s forget about your degree for a moment and focus on you. Are you an inquisitive thinker with the imagination to see the world differently? Are you curious to explore new possibilities with the desire to create solutions that drive future development?

We’re Baillie Gifford, an Edinburgh-based leading independent global investment manager investing over £225bn on behalf of our clients. For us, it’s all about potential – your potential.

We seek to nurture our employees in the same way we approach our investment decisions or build technology for our clients. We’ll focus less on where you are today and more on how you might develop and grow.

If you join one of our full-time programmes in investment or technology or our summer technology opportunities, our next investment will be you.

Here are five reasons why you might consider getting to know us:

Client focus

Everyone at Baillie Gifford focuses on delivering the very best for our clients. You will be forward-thinking, open to change and prepared to evolve. This means never just following the crowd and always seeking new and better ways to do things.

Learning culture

We champion continuous curiosity and believe everyone within the firm (partners included) should be encouraged to expand their learning at every opportunity. That’s why we regularly invite world-renowned academics, business leaders and authors to engage with the firm and challenge our thinking continually.

Diversity and inclusion

Our strength is our people. Our diverse perspectives, experiences and how we collaborate are all fundamental in shaping who we are and what we do. We work to ensure that all our colleagues feel valued, and that their work is always recognised and rewarded.

Social responsibility

You’ll hear the term “long term” a lot. We like to partner with organisations over the longer term and gain a deeper understanding of their work and goals. Our philanthropic efforts are designed to be long-term contributions that drive sustainable change in the communities around us.

Wellbeing

Good mental and physical health are vital for us all. We want healthy, happy, motivated people who take pride in working here, so we ensure we take your wellbeing seriously. And we do, through open conversations, staff networks, and policies designed with you in mind as you evolve through different life stages.

With over 1,600 staff at our head office in Edinburgh, you will receive a warm welcome and the opportunity to partner with people who are passionate about what we do.

We seek diversity in all its forms and recognise that an inclusive workplace is fundamental to our success as a business. Fostering a culture of inclusivity enables us to attract, develop and retain diverse talent, encourage the free exchange of ideas, and enhances our relationships with clients and companies across the world. We work to ensure that all our colleagues feel valued, and that their work is always recognised and rewarded.
