Analyst / Associate - Global Impact

**About the Client**:
KKR (the "firm") is a global alternatives investment firm with nearly five decades of investment management experience and US$624 billion of assets under management as of September 30, 2024. KKR is headquartered in New York and has a presence in 23 cities spanning 4 continents - combining local expertise with a truly global perspective.

KKR manages investments across multiple asset classes, including private equity, infrastructure, real estate, and credit strategies. In addition, KKR Capital Markets supports the firm, portfolio companies, and clients by providing tailored capital markets advice and financing solutions. KKR Capstone has a mission to create value for all stakeholders by identifying and delivering sustainable operational performance within KKR portfolio companies and is an integral part of the firm’s overall approach to value creation. KKR’s Client Solutions team seeks to diversify KKR’s client base to include new investors across all regions and institution types, including a growing focus on the private wealth channel.

KKR first established a presence in Asia in 2005. Since then, KKR has grown to approximately US$70 billion of AUM across its strategies in the region, which includes private equity, infrastructure, real estate, credit, impact, and next generation technologies. KKR has approximately 300 executives working across business functions and asset classes with offices in Beijing, Gurugram, Hong Kong, Mumbai, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore, Sydney, and Tokyo.
