Business Overview

New York Life is advancing an AI-led transformation of Portfolio Management across OCIO and NYLIM, connecting proprietary investment expertise, portfolio information, data, analytics, and AI to improve investment decisions and scale differentiated institutional knowledge.

The Private Markets domain focuses on the proprietary information, underwriting and credit workflows, deal and deployment processes, portfolio monitoring, and investment knowledge associated with private-market investing. A central opportunity is to make insights that often reside within individual teams, documents, and workflows more discoverable, reusable, and actionable while preserving appropriate confidentiality, controls, and investment judgment.

Role Overview

The Corporate Vice President, Private Markets Technology provides senior end-to-end technology leadership for the Private Markets domain within New York Life's AI-led Portfolio Management transformation. The leader owns the technology strategy and roadmap spanning private-market workflows, proprietary data and documents, analytics, AI, agentic capabilities, integration, engineering, controls, and production readiness.

This role is expected to reimagine how technology supports sourcing, underwriting, credit analysis, investment committee preparation, deal execution, portfolio monitoring, and reuse of proprietary investment intelligence. The leader will work across investment teams, Technology, Data & Analytics, Architecture, Risk, Compliance, Legal, and strategic partners to convert differentiated private-market knowledge into scalable capabilities.

The role requires strong judgment around sensitive and unstructured information, provenance, entitlements, confidentiality, explainability, and where AI can accelerate research and analysis without weakening investment accountability or controls.
