POSITION SUMMARY

KKR is seeking a high-performing Principal to join its Enterprise Risk team as an Enterprise Risk Officer within the Risk Domain Office.

The Risk Domain Office is responsible for providing independent oversight of the firm’s most significant enterprise risk domains and developing an integrated view of risk across businesses, functions, and geographies. As a core component of KKR’s Enterprise Risk Operating Model, the team plays a critical role in identifying emerging risks, synthesizing cross-risk insights, strengthening enterprise risk oversight, and supporting informed decision-making at the executive and board levels.

As an Enterprise Risk Officer, you will play a leading role in the oversight and evolution of one or more enterprise risk domains, working closely with business leaders, control functions, and regional risk teams to assess risk exposures, challenge assumptions, identify emerging themes, and provide actionable risk insights. You will help translate complex and interconnected risks into a clear enterprise perspective that supports effective governance and risk-based decision making.

This role offers broad exposure across KKR’s global businesses, including Asset Management, Insurance, Strategic Holdings, and Corporate Functions. The successful candidate will be a well-rounded risk professional with strong analytical capability, sound judgment, and the ability to influence stakeholders across a complex organization, and will be expected to exercise independent judgment in assessing risk issues, developing enterprise perspectives, and providing effective challenge to stakeholders across the organization.

This is a unique opportunity to join a growing function and play a foundational role in the continued development of KKR’s Risk Domain Office, helping to strengthen how the firm understands, oversees, and manages risk across an increasingly complex and dynamic environment.
