Baillie Gifford: Main website redesign

Simplifying a complex multi-audience, multi-jurisdiction website while prioritising features and balancing regulatory constraints.

Website Hero project composition
The challenge

Relevance within regulation

The website serves audiences across different countries and regulatory environments. People needed relevant content and investment information without being exposed to material inappropriate for their jurisdiction.

My role

Jointly prioritising the product with product managers

I led UX direction and jointly owned feature priorities with product managers. I influenced the wider roadmap through customer and experience evidence, working with stakeholders to balance audience needs, regulatory constraints and business goals. Product roadmap ownership remained with the product management function.

What changed

Clearer pathways to relevant content

The redesign introduced a clearer jurisdictional experience, additional self-service touchpoints, document downloads, campaign-ready content groupings and more direct access to relevant investment strategies for suitable audiences.

Impact

More purposeful journeys

The work created a clearer, more structured experience for users and more useful capabilities for internal teams. I cannot publish supporting internal analytics or artefacts from Baillie Gifford. This case study therefore focuses on my responsibilities, the publicly visible experience and the decisions I helped shape, rather than unverified numerical claims.
