StepStone Group

Currently active early-career roles include:

• 2027 Private Equity Infrastructure & Real Assets Summer Analyst – New York

• 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.

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.

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.
