How to apply
Applications for 2025 programmes are now closed.
We will be open and honest with you at every stage of the process, while giving you the opportunity to ask questions, providing a clear idea of what it's like to work at Baillie Gifford.
Our general application resources should help guide you through the process in more detail.
Stage 1
To get started, we ask you to:
- complete a short online application form
- answer two questions
- attach your CV
Stage 2
If selected, you will be invited to an initial interview with one of our senior investors and a member of the HR Team, so we can assess your potential to succeed as an investor.
You will have the chance to discuss your academic and professional choices as well as your interests. Questions are welcome.
Stage 3
This final stage is more in-depth. Along with additional meetings with senior investors, you'll meet different members of the teams you might join and hear from experienced analysts to fund managers who have all been through the programme.
Embracing diversity of thought
Diversity and inclusion aren't just a tick-box exercise for us, they’re an integral part of our business model. We actively look for people that can offer something different because they strengthen our workplace. Our Diversity and Inclusion Group works closely with employee-led networks, which are open to all staff. These act as a platform for sharing ideas, which help to grow our inclusive culture.
