Employer Profile


Baillie Gifford is one of the leading privately owned investment management firms in the UK, with over £70 billion under management. The firm has a unique partnership structure, being wholly owned and managed by its 36 working partners. This ownership structure gives us several important advantages over our competitors, both culturally and commercially.

We are active managers. Our basic aim is to achieve high returns for our clients and to beat their benchmarks. We have a highly analytical, research driven approach and build our portfolios from the bottom up.

What you will be doing
Investment management is a demanding and challenging business, and success depends on market knowledge, sound judgement and providing a high quality service to our clients. We will ensure that you get a thorough grounding in these skills.

The initial focus is on building your investment knowledge. You will join an investment team: either a team that specialises in specific equity markets or the Fixed Income team, which specialises in government and corporate bonds.

The mix of this rewarding working environment and living in Edinburgh means you can experience a true work/life balance.

What we are looking for
We want individuals with consistently high academic achievement, a First/2.1 degree in any discipline. We also welcome applicants seeking an early change in their professional career and are pleased to receive applications from PhD students.
