The oﬃce will contain multifunctional business capabilities and will be integral in furthering the growth and transformation of KKR. <h4>POSITION SUMMARY</h4> KKR is hiring for an enterprise Data Operations group to collect, manage, and harness the power of data across our diverse business activities. The Data Operations Center of Excellence (CoE) is a cross-functional team dedicated to formulating and driving KKR’s enterprise data strategy while also providing the operating leverage required to bring these strategies and frameworks to life. We are hiring an AVP to lead the Performance Analytics function within the Data Operations CoE. This individual will own how fund, deal, and investor-level performance is modeled, calculated, validated, and reported across KKR’s private equity, credit, real assets, and infrastructure strategies. The role is accountable both for the underlying calculation logic, including methodology, mechanics, and documentation, and for the reporting and analysis delivered on top of it to investment teams, senior management, Finance, and Global Client Solutions. This is a hands-on leadership position. The successful candidate will personally build models and write code while also leading a team of approximately three analysts and associates, setting technical standards, reviewing work, and developing junior talent. We are looking for a practitioner who is credible in the details of performance measurement and equally comfortable explaining a result to a senior stakeholder who wants to know why a number moved. The ideal candidate brings 7 to 10 years of experience in performance analytics, investment analytics, or a closely related quantitative function, with substantial private markets experience. Exposure to credit, particularly private credit, is a strong advantage given the growth of that business.
