Rotational Teams You Will Work With

Human Capital Business Partners (HCBP)

• KKR's Human Capital Business Partners are a team of dynamic individuals responsible for providing strategic human capital counsel and support to KKR's employees across every stage of the employee lifecycle. HCBPs serve as trusted advisors to business leaders - aligning people strategy with commercial priorities across talent management, workforce planning, performance, organizational effectiveness, and change. They partner closely with Human Capital Centers of Excellence (Talent Acquisition, Talent Development & Culture, People Ops & Data, Total Rewards, DEI) to seamlessly deliver human capital services and solutions to the business.

Talent Acquisition

• KKR's Talent Acquisition team was launched in 2020 with a small, US-focused effort and today is a global team of 20+ with capabilities spanning campus and early-career pipelines through senior, experienced hires across Asset Management, Insurance, and Business Operations. The team is a tight-knit, collaborative group that values excellence and teamwork and believes KKR's greatest assets are the people working around us. TA partners closely with hiring managers across the firm to identify, attract, assess, and hire talent - driving the strategy, processes, and programs that bring new colleagues into KKR.

The team serves as an innovation and design partner to Human Capital and Technology, fueling a culture of evidence-based decision-making and leaning into AI-forward methods to rethink data capture, analysis, and reporting.
