Inclusion
Do you aim high? Because at Baillie Gifford, we do. We aspire to be one of the most culturally and cognitively diverse investment management firms globally.
Our strength is our people
Who you are matters. We believe it is important to have an authentic approach to inclusion, and that means taking meaningful actions, not box-ticking or making token gestures.
Our firm must be an engaging and progressive place to work.
This belief recognises that our strength is our people: our diverse perspectives, experiences and how we collaborate are fundamental to the firm. We encourage our people to be curious, innovative and forward-thinking. We have high standards and expectations, always holding ourselves and others to account.
