The type of candidate that we’re looking for:
This is an opportunity for an experienced Digital Assets professional to help shape a strategically important capability within Baillie Gifford. We're looking for someone who combines genuine technical depth with commercial acumen, strong judgement and an instinct for high-quality client relationships. You'll be comfortable operating at the boundary between product, technology and business development, and motivated by the challenge of turning emerging onchain infrastructure into credible institutional investment opportunities. You'll be a self-starter who can create momentum in an ambiguous environment while remaining thoughtful about risk, implementation detail and long-term client outcomes. You'll be able to form a view, explain it clearly, challenge counterparties constructively and bring the right people together to progress complex work. You'll balance the pace and rapidly evolving nature of the digital assets ecosystem with the discipline and relationship orientation of traditional finance. You'll be intellectually curious, well connected and highly collaborative. You'll enjoy building new relationships and propositions while being equally prepared to work through the detailed technical, operational and governance issues required to make those propositions real. There will also be scope to grow direct-report responsibility as the team scales.
