Financial Services Professional

Full-time

New York Life

Financial Services Professional

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

Compensation & Benefits

  • You have the power to determine your own income with our commission-based compensation³
  • In 2024, the average income of our financial professionals under the N8 and N9 Agent’s Contract who met annual minimum sales production requirements was $120,555⁴. Individual agent performance will determine your income.
  • Benefits for eligible full-time agents include medical, dental, life and long-term disability coverages, 401(k), and pension⁵

New York Life is a Fortune 100 company with a long history of doing good. We have been in business for 180+ years, helping generations of Americans protect their families and attain their financial goals. As a mutual company, we are accountable only to our policyholders, not to Wall Street or outside investors. We are focused on the long-term success of our clients.

We’re proud to be recognized by the following organizations⁶:

  • Fortune (2026): World’s Most Admired Companies
  • Handshake (2026): Early Talent Award
  • Seramount (2025): 100 Best Companies for Workplace Programs

The results we’ve delivered for our clients⁷ include:

  • 5 million policyowners protected
  • $1 billion in lifetime annuity income paid
  • $7.8 billion in living benefits awarded (dividends not guaranteed)
  • $1.2 trillion in life insurance protection in force⁸
  • #1 largest mutual insurer in the U.S.⁹

*The terms “agent” and “financial professional” are used interchangeably and refer to someone who is in a sales role under an agent contract.

1. Offered by properly licensed registered representatives through NYLIFE Securities (member FINRA/SIPC), a Licensed Insurance Agency and a New York Life subsidiary. 2. Wealth management and advisory services offered by Financial Advisors of Eagle Strategies LLC, a Registered Investment Adviser and a New York Life company. Qualification requirements include but are not limited to applicable FINRA general securities, agent state law, investment advisory licenses, compliance history, production standards, and required training. Requirements are subject to change. 3. If you qualify for an Introductory (PTAS) Contract, you will preview an agent career with New York Life as an independent contractor while continuing to work at your current job, with limited exceptions. PTAS Agents are not eligible for benefits. During this preview period of up to six months, any sales you make will continue to accrue until you either make enough sales to become a full-time agent under a Training Allowance Subsidy (TAS) Contract or the passage of six months, whichever is earlier. If you do not become a full-time agent, first year commissions on any sales you made will be paid to you in a lump sum at the end of your PTAS contract period. If you become a full-time agent under a TAS Contract, you will be credited with the commissions you accrued under the Introductory Contract. 4. Based on 2024 company data for 8,136 agents operating under our N9 and N8 Agents Contracts, without persistency bonus, who were active as of December 31, 2024. N9 contracts were issued to new financial professionals from April 2004 through February 2026. N8 contracts were issued to new financial professionals prior to April 2004. N10 is the current contract for new financial professionals beginning March 2026. Contracts determine your compensation and benefits. New York Life reserves the right to amend agent contracts, in whole or in part, at any time. Sales production requirements are determined annually by the company. Historical agent incomes are provided for informational purposes only. Agent income is not guaranteed. Income is dependent upon the sales of each agent. Agent compensation is commission-based and determined through the ledger process. Overall compensation includes positive income credits for commissions based on actual sales and certain allowances or incentives, if eligible, based upon persistency and production, as well as debits associated with commission reversals, authorized expenses, and other items. Not all debits are included in the average income figures above. Each credit and debit posted to the Agent's Ledger is part of determining the agent's compensation and no individual credit posted to the ledger is earned until the ledger reconciliation process is complete. Agents receive payments equal to the positive balance on the Agent's Ledger after the credits and debits are applied, except that Agents operating under an Introductory (PTAS) Contract who fail to sell enough to trigger a full-time agent’s contract will be paid first year commissions on any sales made in a lump sum at the end of their PTAS Contract period. 5. This is necessarily brief and provides only general descriptions of the benefits available to eligible Agents under the applicable plans. Eligibility requirements and plan provisions vary by contract type and production levels. Specific terms, such as eligibility and benefits, are determined only by the terms and conditions contained in the relevant plan documents. In the event of any conflict between the information herein and the provisions of the plan documents, the plan documents will govern. The Company reserves the right to amend or terminate the benefit plans described herein at any time and for any reason. 6. A full list of our awards is available here: . 7. Figures reflect the consolidated results of New York Life Insurance Company (NYLIC) and its domestic insurance subsidiaries including New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation (NYLIAC) for the 12 months ending December 31, 2025. 8. Individual life insurance in force is the total face amount of individual life insurance contracts (term, whole, and universal life) outstanding for NYLIC and its domestic insurance subsidiaries at a given time. The company’s individual life insurance in force totaled $1,264.5 billion at December 31, 2025 (including $193.7 billion for NYLIAC). Dividends are payments made to eligible policy owners from divisible surplus. Divisible surplus is the portion of the company’s total surplus that is available, following each year’s operations, for distribution in the form of dividends. Dividends are not guaranteed. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 9 . Based on revenue as reported by Fortune magazine June/July 2025
