StepStone Group

StepStone Group posts summer analyst and intern roles across its private markets investment teams, split sharply by region. Currently active early-career roles include:

• 2027 Private Equity Summer Analyst — New York
• 2027 Private Equity Infrastructure & Real Assets Summer Analyst — New York
• 2026 Private Equity Intern — Beijing, Singapore
• 2026 Private Debt Intern — Zurich
• 2026 Real Estate Intern — Beijing
• 2026 Data & Risk Operations Junior Analyst/Intern — Beijing

The New York summer analyst tracks target undergraduates graduating between December 2027 and June 2028 and rotate across fund investments, co-investments, and secondaries. A candidate choosing between the US summer cohort and one of the overseas intern seats is choosing between a structured American summer programme and a longer off-cycle role in a single asset-class team abroad, not two routes into the same pool.

For the 2027 Private Equity Summer Analyst role in New York, StepStone's posting requires that a candidate "must be able to work legally in the U.S. without requiring visa sponsorship now or in the future", ruling out F-1 OPT/CPT and H-1B sponsorship for the US summer analyst track. The firm's 2026 intern roles in Beijing, Singapore, and Zurich are posted locally and carry no equivalent US-style restriction. For an international student studying in the United States, the New York summer track is effectively a closed door; the realistic StepStone route runs through the overseas offices, recruited on local work-authorisation terms.

StepStone Group reviews early-career applications on a rolling basis rather than a fixed window. The 2027 Private Equity Summer Analyst posting states "Application deadline: Rolling basis", and the other active 2026 intern and 2027 summer-analyst roles on the firm's careers board follow the same pattern. The firm publishes no consolidated key-dates page. Without a fixed close, a candidate cannot pace materials against a deadline; roles are screened in the order they arrive, so the first applications in are read against the largest open requisition.

StepStone Group is an NYSE-listed (ticker STEP) global private-markets platform; per the firm's Q4 / FY26 results release it was responsible for $885.2 billion of total capital — $233.3 billion AUM and $651.8 billion under advisement — as of 31 March 2026. Its investment teams cover four asset classes (private equity, private debt, real estate, infrastructure and real assets) and four strategies (fund investments, secondaries, co-investments, direct investments). The platform is unusual in pairing a discretionary asset-management business with a large institutional advisory practice in the same firm, so an analyst's work spans LP-side allocation as well as deal-level diligence. For a candidate weighing a multi-strategy private-markets platform against a single-strategy buyout shop, the trade-off is exposure breadth versus depth in one transaction type.
