From the outset, you will work with some of the most exciting and sought-after tools on the market, sometimes during beta testing.

How to apply
Applications for 2025 programmes are now closed.
We will be open and honest with you at every stage of the process, allowing you to ask questions throughout and giving you 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, but here is a summary.
Stage 1
To get started, we ask you to:
- complete a short online application form, including questions about why you’d like to join us and what you think you could bring to the role. Like you, we are fans of generative AI. We are happy for you to use it responsibly as a tool to generate and communicate your ideas clearly, but don’t expect it to do the heavy lifting for you.
- attach your CV.
Stage 2
If selected, you will be invited to a Zoom interview with colleagues from our Information Systems Department. We will review your CV with you and discuss your academic and professional choices, together with some critical skills-based questions that are similar to competency questions.
Stage 3
The final stage is more in-depth. You will attend an assessment centre with other applicants, where we will assess your abilities in more detail through a second interview and some practical exercises. You’ll have the chance to ask questions and meet other IT professionals, including our current trainees.
