Internship programmes
Applications will open on Tuesday 3 September and close on Monday 28 October 2024. The internships will run from June to August 2025.
You must be in your penultimate year of study for a technology-related degree to apply.
Following the internship, there could be the prospect of securing a place to return on the following year’s graduate programme. This would be discussed through your time on the internship.
Software development
This programme allows you to work across the whole software development lifecycle as you learn about our pioneering Information Systems Department and Baillie Gifford as a firm. Discover how our blend of technology drives the business forward in the fast-evolving investment management industry.
Technical infrastructure
This programme will allow you to get hands-on and gain real-life work experience. Our diverse range of vendors means you might work with the likes of Microsoft, Dell, Palo Alto, HashiCorp or ServiceNow, as you develop your technical support and systems resiliency skills.
Curious, patient, brave
At Baillie Gifford, we pride ourselves on being three things:
- Curious - We have strong links with university and academia to inform our research into exciting companies.
- Patient - Baillie Gifford is an independent private partnership, which means we don’t have outside shareholders who are looking for short-term profits or the need to pay dividends.
- Brave - We are prepared to stand apart from the noisy crowd. Our investors wouldn’t sell an investment that’s deeply out of fashion if they still believed in it.
Meet our people
At Baillie Gifford, our people are our greatest strength. Attracting talent is vital to our success, so we strive to create opportunity for all. We take diversity and inclusion seriously and encourage staff to join initiatives that support these values. As employees from across the business can attest, we pride ourselves on being a great place to work. Read about their experiences below.
