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.

• Ensure solutions are observable, resilient, auditable, secure, and production ready.
Discovery, Delivery & Partner Leadership
• Partner with the Business Discovery & Solution Strategy Lead for Private Markets, Reporting & Distribution to translate future-state investment workflows into executable technology roadmaps.
• Use prototypes and working solutions to validate user needs, AI behavior, data access, and architecture assumptions before scaling.
• Lead multidisciplinary outcome teams involving Product Owners, Forward Deployed Analysts, Forward Deployed Engineers, Obin AI engineers, investment SMEs, Data SMEs, and Risk/Control partners.
• Drive workforce and capacity planning and manage strategic technology partners with clear accountability for outcomes, quality, and knowledge transfer.

Executive Partnership, Risk & Value
• Build trusted relationships with senior private-market investment leaders and translate strategic priorities into technology investments and delivery commitments.

• Establish transparent measures of adoption, workflow efficiency, quality, investment-team productivity, and business value.
Talent & Organizational Leadership

• Attract, develop and retain forward deployed and other high caliber technology talent, while building technology leadership and domain expertise across the organization.
• Establish clear accountability and a culture of collaboration, innovation, engineering discipline and continuous improvement.
• Lead effectively through both direct authority and matrixed relationships across Business, Product, Technology and partner teams.
