Associate, Next Generation Technology
About The Position
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, 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.
