NGT Associate - Stage

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 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 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
