Working at American Century Investments

Build a career and be part of something bigger.

Two Missions for the Good of All of Us

When you think of applying for a new job, you should know what the company stands for and who they are.

Each American Century Investments employee will tell you that we manage money knowing that every investment can impact someone else. That’s because of our two powerful missions: help people with their financial futures and make a difference for everyone on this amazing planet.

Tackling such big goals starts with a quest to outperform for all kinds of clients: individual investors, financial professionals and global institutions. These results can then help defeat diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s. How? Because 40% of our profits support life-changing medical research at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research. This purpose inspires all employees. Every. Single. Day.

By joining us, you will become a crucial part of our story.

The Logistics

Our international headquarters is located in Kansas City, Mo. It’s a city known for its friendly and welcoming qualities—but did you know about its fantastic food, art, music, sports and events? These secret gems are why many choose to call this place home. And if you like your money to go a little further, it helps that the cost of living is lower than in many other cities.¹

But Kansas City is not the only place we’ve put down roots. We have locations around the globe that offer flexible schedules for our employees.

Fraud Alert: Recruitment Scams

Please be aware that scammers are posting fake American Century Investments job opportunities and/or impersonating our employees with phony job offers.

What can job seekers do? Please verify job openings and work locations through American Century Investments’ career webpage or LinkedIn page.

What else to be aware of? Scammers are typically contacting people through email, phone or chat applications. Sometimes the initial contact is via email and then through a chat application such as WhatsApp. Job offers might sound urgent, almost like the person has been pre-selected for a chosen position. And the job seeker is required to provide money for training with the promise of the payment being returned.

As part of our hiring process, we never request payment or send reimbursement checks. We also don’t solicit bank account details, tax forms, credit card information, or copies of government-issued identification.

If you believe you have been exposed to a scam, please email [email protected]. Also, report the fraudulent activity to the site where the fake job posting appeared and/or the platform through which you were contacted.
