COMPANY PROFILE
Explore our business
Baillie Gifford was
established as an investment management partnership over 100 years ago.
Today, with over 1,200 people based in Edinburgh, more than 700 clients
across the globe, we are an independent investment management business
with over £200 billion under management.
At Baillie Gifford we do much more than just buy shares in companies. We think about a company’s potential to grow significantly in the next five to ten years, which is often influenced by many diverse and conflicting factors.
Our work is a million miles from that stereotype of investors who constantly track markets looking for short-term gains. Instead, our focus is on developing a deep understanding of the underlying drivers behind potential investments. That means questioning everything that happens around us, and anticipating the consequences of local, regional and global events. In other words, we try to foresee what the future holds.
JOB DESCRIPTION
Ever wondered how a global investment firm
operates? Take a two-year guided tour.
Join this two-year
rotational Business Operations programme and experience the full cycle
of over a dozen operational teams, which support our growing business.
We wouldn’t expect you to know right now which team you’ll join in two years’ time. That’s precisely why our rotational programme provides such exposure, and graduates are often surprised at the wide range of professional opportunity. Our programme is designed to allow you to work on real projects and develop new ideas in everything from Business Risk and Finance to Governance and Sustainability, Client Operations and much more.
And once you’ve built that foundation, launch your career here in a specialism that’s matched to your talents, interests and aspirations. Find your place in Baillie Gifford.
PERSON SPECIFICATION
You might have studied business, or something
else entirely. We’re looking for people who are fascinated by the way
organisations work. In terms of your degree subject, we’re completely
open-minded, although an interest in business is a must. We’re looking
for people with a consultative and problem-solving approach, and a
passion for learning.
SALARY
A competitive salary + benefits package including £3,000 sign
on bonus, 15% employer contributory pension, discretionary annual bonus
and 34 days’ holiday.
