    Job Description

    Build a career that’s designed to last.


    For over 180 years, New York Life has helped individuals, families, and businesses navigate life’s financial decisions through changing markets and generations.
    As a Financial Professional*, you’ll play a direct role in helping people protect what matters and plan for their future, while building a practice of your own with the backing of a Fortune 100 company.


    What You’ll Do
    • Develop your own client base through networking, referrals, and community involvement
    • Build relationships and guide clients through key financial decisions (retirement, protection, education planning)
    • Offer tailored solutions across insurance and financial products
    • Grow your knowledge and skills through ongoing training and real-world experience

    What Sets This Role Apart
    • Be Your Own Boss: After two years of training, our agents become independent career agents and run their own businesses.
    • Training & Support: Structured onboarding, licensing support, ongoing coaching and
    opportunities to obtain professional credentials, with prepaid tuition for eligible, participating agents pursuing approved credentials.
    • Financial Support: Training subsidy available for eligible candidates during early stages
    • Resources & Tools: Access to experienced professionals and institutional knowledge, proven best practices, along with sales, prospecting, and marketing tools to help you attract and retain clients through web, social, and email content.
    • Products & Solutions: New York Life and its subsidiaries offer a broad range of solutions,
    including life insurance, annuities, long-term care insurance, disability income insurance, and
    investment products such as mutual funds¹ through NYLIFE Securities LLC (member FINRA and SIPC), a Licensed Insurance Agency. This range allows you to develop tailored strategies to help clients and their families achieve their financial goals.
    • Career Path Flexibility: As you grow, you can specialize in areas such as wealth management, estate planning, and business solutions—or pursue leadership opportunities. You may also choose to become a financial advisor with Eagle Strategies LLC, our registered investment advisor, and offer advisory services².


    What We Look For
    • Self-motivated individuals who take initiative
    • Strong communicators who enjoy building relationships
    • Coachable and open to feedback
    • Interested in long-term learning and growth, not just a short-term role
