Financial Services Professional (Hybrid)

Career Transition to Financial Services

Some people are doing well in their career but know they are capable of building something bigger. Others are earlier in their professional life and looking for the right direction, but have strong communication skills, work ethic, and potential.

New York Life’s Edison office is looking for career-minded individuals who are open to a serious conversation about long-term growth in financial services.

This opportunity may be a fit for someone with experience in sales, management, banking, education, hospitality, recruiting, retail leadership, customer service, business ownership, or another people-focused profession. The common thread is the ability to build relationships, communicate clearly, follow a process, take coaching seriously, and take ownership of personal and professional growth.

Role Description

This Financial Services Professional opportunity is based out of Edison, NJ and begins with a structured training, licensing, and development process. Candidates selected for the interview process will meet with our Executive Partner, who has been with New York Life for 29 years and has helped develop many individuals throughout his career.

In this role, selected candidates would build relationships with individuals, families, and business owners while developing the skills needed for a long-term career in financial services. The career path includes licensing support, mentorship, professional development, and consideration for future leadership opportunities for qualified individuals.

Benefits include medical, dental, vision, life insurance, disability insurance, 401(k), and pension.

This career can also offer the opportunity to build long-term value through client relationships. Certain client relationships and products may create ongoing compensation opportunities over time, subject to company guidelines, product type, production, and individual results.

The schedule begins with structure, including required in-office development and scheduled training. As candidates progress, meet requirements, and build their practice, the role may offer more flexibility and control over their schedule over time.

Who This May Be a Fit For

This may be a strong fit for someone who:

• Communicates well and enjoys speaking with people
• Has a strong work ethic and coachable mindset
• Wants to build a career around relationships, trust, and long-term development
• Is open to licensing, training, and professional growth
• Has experience in sales, leadership, management, customer service, recruiting, banking, hospitality, education, or business ownership
• Wants a career path with leadership potential, if qualified

Compensation

This is a commission-based role. Compensation is strictly performance-based and may include commissions, bonuses, overrides, and other eligible allowances. The compensation range listed represents potential first-year compensation and is not a guaranteed salary or hourly wage. Actual compensation depends on licensing, production, activity level, client development, and individual results.

If you are open to learning whether this career path may be a fit, we welcome your application.
