I joined Walter Scott as an intern in 2019 and returned on a permanent basis to work in the Research Operations team in 2020. I now work in Investment Research. It’s a collaborative and cognitively diverse team focused on delivering long-term investment growth on behalf of the firm’s clients. The role is intellectually rewarding; exploring global businesses, engaging with leadership, and uncovering innovation. Walter Scott has a close-knit and collaborative culture with quality leadership.
