Career Changer Leadership Development ProgramBuild a Career with Purpose, Leadership, and Growth

Not every successful financial professional starts in financial services.

Many of the strongest people on our team came from banking, insurance, military service, healthcare, sales, operations, and business leadership. They brought leadership, discipline, relationship-building skills, and a desire to continue growing.

If you're looking for more ownership over your career, meaningful work, and an opportunity where your growth is tied to your effort, we'd like to start a conversation.

As a Financial Professional with New York Life, you'll work with individuals, families, and business owners to help them prepare for important financial decisions through personalized planning and long-term relationship building.

Responsibilities include:

  • Building trusted client relationships
  • Helping clients prepare for retirement and long-term financial goals
  • Providing solutions to help protect families, businesses, and assets
  • Growing and managing your own client base

Who We're Looking For

  • Enjoy building relationships and helping others
  • Have demonstrated leadership experience
  • Are coachable and committed to continuous growth
  • Thrive in performance-based environments
  • Want greater ownership over their career and professional development
