KKR’s Global Data Operations team is responsible for collecting, managing, governing, and harnessing data across the firm. Within Data Operations, the Data Operations Center of Excellence (CoE) operates as a hub‑and‑spoke data delivery engine, pairing functional spokes with deep business expertise and a central delivery hub with scalable data, analytics, governance, reporting, and core data management capabilities.

The Distribution Data Enablement team is the functional spoke supporting KKR’s Distribution organization, delivering trusted data and analytics solutions across client and LP data management, operational controls and reconciliations, fund performance, LP outcomes, relationship economics, fundraising trends, and broader business performance across asset classes.
