About The Position

K1 is seeking a Marketing Coordinator to join our marketing team and play a central role in coordinating the firm's external brand strategy. Reporting directly to the Head of Marketing, this person will touch nearly every dimension of what we do – producing design-forward digital publications and microsites, supporting one of the most active event programs in private equity, developing portfolio company case studies, and creating polished, on-brand creative assets for an audience of founders, executives, and investors. This is not a role where you wait for direction. You'll own initiatives end-to-end, work across the full marketing function, and bring a high standard to everything you produce – written, visual, and strategic. The right candidate leads with a strong design and web sensibility, can hold their own editorially, and is as comfortable building a page in WordPress as they are crafting the narrative that lives on it. If you want real ownership, direct exposure to firm leadership, and the opportunity to shape the voice of a leading private equity firm – this is the role.

1–3 years of experience in marketing, design, communications, or a related field

Solid editorial instincts – able to understand, synthesize, and shape the written content that powers our website, publications, and reports
Analytical and organized – able to gather, structure, and synthesize large volumes of data into clear, compelling outputs
Self-directed and accountable
Sound judgment, high ethical standards, and the ability to handle confidential information with discretion
A positive, team-first attitude – proactive, solutions-oriented, and no task beneath you
