COMPANY OVERVIEW

KKR is a leading global investment firm that offers alternative asset management as well as capital markets and insurance solutions. KKR aims to generate attractive investment returns by following a patient and disciplined investment approach, employing world-class people, and supporting growth in its portfolio companies and communities. KKR sponsors investment funds that invest in private equity, credit and real assets and has strategic partners that manage hedge funds. KKR's insurance subsidiaries offer retirement, life and reinsurance products under the management of Global Atlantic Financial Group. References to KKR's investments may include the activities of its sponsored funds and insurance subsidiaries.

TEAM OVERVIEW

The KKR Next Generation Technology (NGT) team invests in traditional growth equity and growth-oriented majority transactions, with equity checks ranging from $50m to $300m primarily within five main sectors: enterprise software, cybersecurity, consumer internet, financial technology, and tech-enabled services. NGT's first fund was over $700M AUM, second fund was $2.2B AUM, and is currently deploying its third fund which is $3B AUM.

The team is looking to add an Associate to the New York or San Francisco office in a career track role. At the outset, the Associate role will likely be a 50/50 split between deal sourcing and execution and over time the execution work and portfolio company management will likely outweigh the sourcing.

QUALIFICATIONS

The ideal candidate is someone with ~2+ years of investment banking experience, and/or 1-2 years of growth equity, late-stage venture capital, or private equity experience. Experience and/or interest in deal sourcing is a plus. To be successful in the role, a candidate should exhibit:
  • KKR's core values, in particular: unquestioned integrity, a strong work ethic, and a commitment to teamwork and excellence
  • Aptitude for critical and creative thinking across the quantitative and qualitative spectrum
  • Ability to learn quickly with clear intellectual curiosity and self-motivation
  • Excellent communication skills
  • Ability to multi-task, prioritize and work both independently and within teams
  • Strong attention to detail
  • Outstanding academic record and demonstrated leadership ability
  • Interest in deal sourcing strongly preferred; prior sourcing experience is a plus but not required.

This is the expected annual base salary range for this New York-based position. Actual salaries may vary based on factors, such as skill, experience, and qualification for the role. Employees may be eligible for a discretionary bonus, based on factors such as individual and team performance.
