With $799 billion in assets under management, NYLI is a premier investment management firm serving a variety of client segments including retail, institutional, insurance and defined contribution and benefit on a global basis.

The Global Market Strategy team is the firm’s “center of excellence” for global economic, market, and investment practice. We provide actionable insight into market‑driving events, structural themes, and portfolio construction to empower investment decision‑making.

The team is responsible for economic and market view‑setting, collaboration with investment teams across the platform, asset allocation views, and the commercial impact of those views – including via thought leadership, portfolio consulting, and client interaction.

The team works closely with investment, product, marketing, and distribution teams to provide concrete views, investment convictions, and connection points with our clients.

The senior strategist will serve as a senior member of NYLI’s Global Market Strategy team, leading the articulation of the firm’s house economic, market, and cross‑asset allocation views. The person in this role will focus on our institutional clients – including a wide range of institutional client types and in regions including the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Their responsibility will be to translate team views into asset allocation guidance that can be adopted in real portfolios.

This may include geographic considerations (including currency), liquidity needs, and other investor specifics where and as appropriate.

They will also be responsible for developing and maintaining relationships with key partners – including our distribution teams – to ensure that the team’s work is making a concrete impact for our clients and for our organization’s goals.

The candidate will spend considerable time with our global institutional sales teams, with our investment teams, and with our clients. Travel requirements tend to ebb and flow but will likely amount to one trip per month. Travel includes U.S. and international locations.
