About Us
Blue Owl careers span private credit, GP strategic capital, and real estate at one of the fastest-growing alternative asset managers in the world -- with over $165 billion in AUM, 685+ professionals, and a permanent capital base that distinguishes it from traditional PE firms. Founded in 2021 and already NYSE-listed (OWL), Blue Owl has grown rapidly through a combination of organic growth and strategic acquisitions including Owl Rock, Dyal Capital, and Oak Street.
Blue Owl operates across three multi-strategy platforms, each with its own investment focus and hiring profile:

Blue Owl Careers: What to Expect
Blue Owl is a young firm by alternative asset management standards -- founded in 2021 -- which means it offers more entrepreneurial exposure than older, more established peers. The firm has grown aggressively and continues to hire across investment, operations, investor relations, and technology functions. The permanent capital structure means the firm is less subject to the fundraising cycles that affect traditional PE firms, creating more stability for professionals at all levels.
Credit roles recruit from leveraged finance, direct lending, and investment banking backgrounds. GP Strategic Capital roles are highly selective and recruit from top PE and hedge fund backgrounds. Real estate roles suit candidates from commercial real estate, real estate investment banking, and net lease investing.
