Junior investing roles at Partners Group

Partners Group is a private markets manager investing in private equity, infrastructure, real estate, private credit and royalties. Its postings say: “We have USD 185 billion in assets under management and around 2,000 professionals across 24 offices worldwide.” Most of its hiring is outside the United States: 10 of the 75 postings on its board on November 11, 2026 were US roles, in New York and in Broomfield, Colorado, which a posting calls its regional headquarters. They included a private equity associate, private credit associates and an MBA summer associate program.

Neither the Financial Analyst Program page nor the Summer Associate posting gives a class size.

Worth knowing: The same private credit associate role carries two ranges: $155,000–$175,000 in Broomfield and $170,000–$195,000 in New York. The private equity associate posting calls the role “Denver-based”; the board lists it under Broomfield.
