Job description

New York Life Accelerated Path to Management Program. Are you looking for a job where you can use your experience to propel your career into management? At New York Life, we will invest in you from the start to help you learn and grow as a financial professional first. We’ll train you in valuable skills, such as marketing, business development, and customer relationship management, and provide you with the tools you need to further your career. Then we’ll train you and provide you with access to the tools you need for a career in management.

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for motivated individuals who want to make a lasting impact on the financial well-being of individuals, families, and small businesses. Ideal candidates can answer yes to one of the following questions:

1. Do you have sales or managerial experience in another industry?
2. Have you previously run your own business?
3. Do you have an MBA or other equivalent degree?

In the Accelerated Path to Management Program, you’ll start as a financial professional, learning how to sell our products, build client relationships, and meet specific requirements before transitioning into a management role. You’ll then undergo a six-month intensive training program designed to prepare you for success as a manager, including recruiting and coaching others.

What we offer

Your first year: Work as a financial professional, with complete training, access to digital tools, and a comprehensive product suite.

Training and resources: Top-notch training, digital sales, prospecting, and marketing tools, and expert support to help you succeed.

Product solutions: Learn about our range of insurance and financial products, including life insurance, annuities, long-term care, disability insurance, and investment products. You will need to hold securities licenses and FINRA registrations to offer investment products.

Transition to management

After meeting specific requirements in the first 12 months, you will enter a six-month Associate Partner training program to prepare for leading and building your team of financial professionals. Opportunities for growth and promotion to senior management levels will continue throughout your career.

Compensation

Starting as a financial professional, your income will be commission-based. Upon qualifying as an Associate Partner, you will receive a salary ($60,000–$150,000, with higher minimums in CA and WA), plus bonuses and incentives based on team performance, recruiting, and development.
