As a Compliance Testing & Monitoring professional at KKR, you will be responsible for leading and executing compliance testing initiatives as part of the firm's Compliance Testing and Monitoring Program. Your role will involve designing, developing, and implementing testing methodologies to evaluate the adequacy and effectiveness of internal controls, along with ensuring compliance with applicable policies, procedures, and regulatory requirements. Collaboration with global compliance counterparts in AMRS, EMEA, and APAC will be essential to deliver coordinated and consistent testing outcomes. You will critically assess the design and operational effectiveness of controls, identify weaknesses, propose enhancements, and follow up on remediation efforts. Analyzing large and complex data sets to identify trends, anomalies, and potential compliance issues will be a key aspect of your responsibilities, requiring advanced Excel skills for data manipulation, analysis, and reporting. You will be expected to prepare clear, concise, and well-supported testing documentation and reporting materials for senior compliance and business stakeholders. Additionally, you will assist in thematic reviews, special investigations, and ad-hoc testing activities as needed, while maintaining awareness of evolving regulatory requirements and industry practices relevant to private equity and investment management. To excel in this role, you should have a minimum of 2-4 years of relevant experience in compliance, internal audit, or quality assurance within financial institutions. Strong knowledge of compliance frameworks, particularly under Rule 206(4)-7, EU Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) Regulation, and UK FCA regulation, is required. Proficiency in Excel, exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills, outstanding communication abilities, and the capacity to work independently and manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment are essential. A collaborative mindset, strong interpersonal skills, and the ability to work comfortably across teams and jurisdictions will be advantageous. Experience with compliance monitoring tools or platforms, as well as the ability to transform manual testing processes into automated solutions, using tools such as Python, Tableau, or other automation frameworks, will be highly valued. Building or supporting data-driven testing approaches and developing automated checks will also be considered a strong plus, indicating your readiness to learn, grow, and take on increased responsibilities over time.,
