Agent Collaboration & Partnership Marketing & Communications Program Director

Location Designation: Hybrid - 3 days per week 

Role Overview:

The Agent Collaboration & Partnership (ACP) organization integrates New York Life’s core agent growth programs — Agent Mentoring Program (AMP), District Agent (DA), Agent Teaming (ATP), and Professional Alliance (PAP) — into a unified enterprise capability. These programs support agent development, leadership progression, collaboration, and growth across the Agency distribution system.

As ACP continues to scale — particularly with the national expansion of Agent Teaming — strong operational execution and coordination are critical to delivering consistent, high-quality experience for agents and field leaders.

This role serves as the central authority for how ACP is positioned, communicated, and promoted internally and externally. The Director ensures that ACP programs are clearly understood, compellingly presented, and supported with high-quality materials that drive participation, productivity, and enterprise alignment.

The role operates across four primary domains:

1. Executive & Enterprise Communications
2. Field Promotion & Engagement
3. Program-Specific Communication & Initiative Leadership
4. Agent-Facing Marketing Enablement

This position partners closely with the Head of ACP, Field Operations, Program Operations, and the enterprise Marketing department.

• Develop program-specific positioning that drives participation and productivity

This includes active ownership of communications that drive:

• Agent participation

Agent-Facing Marketing Enablement & Enterprise Marketing Liaison

• Coordinate review and approval processes with Compliance and Legal where applicable
• Ensure consistency in messaging between internal program positioning and external agent-facing materials
• Maintain and refresh program content based on field feedback, performance insights, and program changes
• Ensure materials remain accurate, current, and aligned to program guidelines
• Partner with the Program Operations Lead to address recurring field questions through improved content

What You'll Bring:
