Technology, Data, AI and Ventures:
Within the Tech, Data, AI, Ventures (TDAV) organization, our work is guided by a shared vision: deploying the power of technology, data, AI and ventures to accelerate sustainable competitive advantage for New York Life's businesses. We build solutions that power how we serve policy owners, agents, advisors and employees while delivering measurable business outcomes.

Role Overview
The Corporate Vice President, Expense Technology provides Technology leadership for Expense Management within New York Life’s Enterprise Plan to Perform (EPP) transformation. The leader is accountable for shaping and delivering the Technology capabilities that enable New York Life to understand, plan, manage, analyze and act on enterprise expenses with greater speed, transparency and intelligence.
The role is accountable for the end-to-end Technology outcome for the workstream, spanning Technology strategy and roadmap, applications and integration, engineering and delivery, and the effective incorporation of data, analytics, AI, architecture, controls and enterprise capabilities. The leader works closely with Finance, Business, Architecture, Data, AI, Risk and other Technology teams to bring these capabilities together into a coherent end-to-end solution.
This is broader than an application development or program management role. The leader is expected to combine business understanding, systems thinking, technology and engineering judgment, and transformation leadership; challenge current-state constraints; and ensure the domain evolves as a coherent capability that integrates effectively with the broader EPP ecosystem and NEXUS experience.
What You'll Do
Workstream Technology Strategy & Ownership
· Lead the future-state Technology capability for Expense Management across expense planning, forecasting and continuous outlook, actuals, allocations, spend transparency, scenario analysis, management insights and related workflows
· Reimagine expense workflows using data, analytics, automation, and AI to reduce manual effort, improve transparency, identify drivers and anomalies, and accelerate management action.
· Lead outcome teams addressing capabilities such as expense planning, expense analytics, allocation and driver transparency, vendor/spend insights, and workflow automation.
· Ensure Expense capabilities integrate effectively with Planning & Projections, Performance Management, Financial Modeling, and NEXUS.
Technology, AI & Engineering Leadership
· Lead the target-state technology strategy and roadmap for the workstream, including application, integration, data, analytics, AI, automation, and engineering implications.
· Drive pragmatic use of rapid prototyping, specification-driven development, AI-assisted engineering, automated testing, and continuous business validation.
· Promote systems thinking so solution decisions account for upstream and downstream impacts across workflows, data, architecture, security, controls, and operations.
· Identify where generative AI and agentic capabilities can materially reimagine workflows, analysis, decision support, and execution rather than simply automate existing steps.
· Maintain strong standards for engineering quality, scalability, resiliency, responsible AI, observability, production readiness, and technical sustainability.
Cross-Functional Leadership & Interfaces
· Partner closely with NEXUS Technology to expose relevant expense metrics, insights, explanations, and actions through the common EPP experience.
· Coordinate with Performance Management and the relevant Technology teams on expense performance metrics and analytical relationships used in enterprise performance management.
· Partner with Business Discovery & Solution Strategy leaders to translate future-state business intent into executable technology capabilities and roadmaps.
· Partner with Solution Engineering & Architecture and Data Architecture to ensure domain solutions align with cross-EPP architecture and data patterns.
· Lead multidisciplinary outcome teams and coordinate NYL engineers, forward deployed engineers, federated resources, domain SMEs, and strategic partner engineers.
· Build trusted relationships with senior Finance, business, and Technology stakeholders and create transparency around priorities, tradeoffs, risks, dependencies, and outcomes.
Investment, Workforce & Delivery Accountability
· Shape workstream Technology priorities and sequencing, and work with Integrated Delivery to identify resource, capacity and investment needs based on business value, dependencies, risk and delivery readiness.
· Coordinate strategic Technology and engineering partners as part of the integrated workstream team, with clear expectations for quality, outcomes and knowledge transfer.
· Establish transparent measures of delivery health, adoption, quality, and value realization and use them to drive decisions and accountability.
· Ensure security, privacy, controls, auditability, and operational readiness are incorporated from inception through production.
Talent & Organizational Leadership
· Build and develop high-performing Technology teams with strong engineering and domain capabilities.
· Lead effectively through direct and matrixed relationships across Business and Technology teams.
· Foster a culture of collaboration, engineering discipline, innovation, accountability and continuous improvement.
What You'll Bring
Required Experience
· 10+ years of progressively responsible experience in technology, software engineering, solution delivery, digital transformation, or related disciplines, including demonstrated leadership in complex enterprise environments
· Proven experience owning end-to-end technology capabilities or major transformation domains from strategy through architecture, engineering, implementation, and measurable outcomes.
· Demonstrated success operating in federated or matrixed enterprises and influencing senior business and technology stakeholders across organizational boundaries.
· Broad technology and engineering background spanning modern application development, APIs and integration, data and analytics, cloud platforms, enterprise architecture, automation, and emerging technologies.
· Strong understanding of generative AI, agentic technologies, and AI-assisted engineering and their practical application to enterprise workflows and software delivery.
· Experience leading multidisciplinary technology teams and managing strategic partners, contractors, and federated resources.
· Experience operating within enterprise Risk, Security, Compliance, Audit, and control environments.
· Strong analytical, communication, prioritization, and executive-influence capabilities.
Required Skills
· Workstream Technology Leadership - Leads the end-to-end Technology outcome for a major business workstream, not simply an application portfolio.
· Technology & Engineering Judgment - Evaluates solution approaches, architecture and data implications, engineering tradeoffs, and production risks.
· Systems Thinking - Understands interactions across process, applications, data, analytics, architecture, controls, and operating models.
· AI-Enabled Transformation - Identifies where AI and agentic capabilities can materially change workflows, decisions, and delivery economics.
· Executive Communication & Influence - Creates clarity, drives decisions, and influences senior stakeholders across organizational boundaries.
· Strategic Planning & Execution - Converts future-state ambition into prioritized roadmaps, investments, sequencing, and executable outcomes.
· Enterprise Delivery Discipline - Applies SDLC, Agile and Lean principles pragmatically with strong dependency, release, and production-readiness management.
· Talent & Partner Leadership - Builds strong teams and integrates internal, federated, and external engineering capacity around common outcomes.
· People Management – Develops and empowers talent through clear expectations, actionable feedback, effective coaching, and accountability, while fostering an inclusive, high-performing team environment.
Preferred Experience
· Experience with enterprise expense management, finance technology, planning, procurement/spend analytics, or corporate-function transformation.
· Experience reimagining finance workflows using analytics, automation, or AI.
