Global Co-Invest Associate
About The Position
KKR is looking to hire an Associate onto the Co-Investments & Partnerships team in New York. This is an immediate-start, career-track role for a driven and analytically strong professional who wants to combine hands-on deal execution with direct LP and investor engagement. Associates who perform well have a clear path to becoming deal leads within the team. The Co-Investments & Partnerships team is a lean, entrepreneurial, and high-impact group that sits at the center of KKR's deal activity. The team works directly with investing teams across all of the firm's geographies and asset classes including Private Equity, Real Estate, Infrastructure, Credit, and Growth Equity to raise capital, structure, and execute transactions. The team leads co-investment syndications alongside KKR's investments globally, provides capital markets advice, and develops both traditional and non-traditional capital solutions for deals seeking co-investment financing. The team also serves as the firm's clearing house for secondary transactions, including GP-led continuation vehicles and LP-led buybacks of funds and co-investments. At 12 people globally, this is a team where every member has meaningful ownership and broad exposure — Associates participate actively in Investment Committee meetings and engage regularly with senior leadership across the firm. This is a rare opportunity to join a small, high-performing team with exposure to the full breadth of KKR's global deal activity across every asset class. The team is known for its strong culture, collaborative environment, and the quality and variety of the work. For the right candidate, this is a long-term home with a clear and rewarding career trajectory.
