TEAM OVERVIEWThe 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, second fund was $2.2B, and third fund was $3B AUM. The team is now raising Fund IV (targeting $3.5B), and is already actively deploying capital from the fund.
The team is looking to add an Associate to the New York 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.
QUALIFICATIONSThe ideal candidate is someone with ~2+ years of investment banking experience plus 1-2 years of growth equity, late-stage venture capital, or private equity experience. Experience 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
