KKR Capstone is KKR's in-house value creation and operational improvement team. Capstone works alongside KKR investment teams and portfolio companies to identify and deliver initiatives that accelerate performance, support growth, and unlock operational value. The EMEA team partners with businesses across sectors and increasingly focuses on how AI and digital tools can create practical leverage both within Capstone's day-to-day work and across the portfolio through the AI taskforce and broader AI value creation agenda.

POSITION SUMMARY

An AI Enablement Intern in our London office will help KKR Capstone EMEA scale practical AI adoption across two complementary areas: internal Capstone enablement and AI value creation across the portfolio. The role will include developing reusable AI prompts, skills and playbooks, supporting team training and 1:1 coaching, helping coordinate the EMEA AI taskforce, tracking portfolio AI use cases and initiatives, and translating emerging AI tools into practical business applications.

As we generally operate in small teams, interns will play an active role from Day 1 and work directly with a senior Capstone sponsor. The role is designed as a force-multiplier model: the intern brings technical depth, experimentation capacity, and structured follow-through, while the sponsor provides business context, prioritisation, and access to both the Capstone team and relevant portfolio AI workstreams.

The internship will also provide a great opportunity to liaise with teams across KKR, Capstone colleagues, AI taskforce participants and, where appropriate, selected portfolio company stakeholders, while developing a practical understanding of how AI can be applied in a private equity value creation context.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Build and maintain reusable AI prompts, skills and workflow playbooks for Capstone and portfolio-related use cases
• Support internal AI enablement through workshops, practical demos and 1:1 coaching for Capstone colleagues
• Help coordinate the EMEA AI taskforce and portfolio AI value creation work, including preparing materials, tracking actions, and synthesising use cases, vendor / tool learnings and adoption examples
• Turn learnings from Capstone and portfolio work into reusable assets, playbooks, case studies and templates for internal discussions and broader sharing

ROLE REQUIREMENTS

• Currently enrolled as a master's student or recently graduated, ideally in Business Analytics, Data Science, Applied AI, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related quantitative / technical field
• Available to intern for a period of 6 months
• Start date: flexible September/October 2026
• Available to work on-site in London
• Strong practical interest in AI enablement, workflow redesign, and business application of technology
• CV must be in PDF and include expected graduation month/year and relevant grades
