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.
Across technology, data, AI, cyber, product, digital experience, architecture and infrastructure, TDAV combines the scale and investment of an industry leader, access to leading-edge technologies and the opportunity to help shape how a world-class financial services company competes in the AI era - all backed by the stability and purpose of a mutual company built to last.
Role Overview
We are seeking a Technical Analyst to lead the analysis, design, and documentation of NYLIS Illustrations output and concept specifications, while contributing broader business analysis expertise across user interfaces, business rules, integrations, and related system requirements. The role partners across business and technology to turn incomplete or high-level requests into comprehensive, development-ready solutions.
The ideal candidate combines strong analytical skills—including familiarity with logical symbols and the ability to read and write logical expressions—with excellent communication and presentation skills, life insurance expertise, and Agile delivery experience. This person is skilled at facilitating working sessions, eliciting and clarifying requirements, explaining complex requirements to developers and testers, and building consensus across diverse stakeholder groups.
Working with a high degree of independence, this person resolves ambiguity, anticipates downstream impacts, upholds cross-product standards, and influences stakeholders toward solutions that support the broader design. The role requires the leadership and judgment to drive requirements from discovery through agreement and sign-off, facilitate cross-functional workshops, and, when needed, lead Agile ceremonies and other delivery discussions.
What You’ll Do
Output Design Specifications (Illustration Reports for LIFE, LTC & IDI products)
- Author and maintain NYLIS output specifications for life insurance products, riders, concepts, calculations, disclosures, and other customer- or field-facing materials.
- Evaluate each request within the context of the complete output, identifying and addressing impacts beyond the specific page or text cited.
- Define how changes should appear, where they belong, and how they should behave across products, scenarios, and related concepts.
- Apply established NYLIS standards and precedents across products, identifying when a new pattern is warranted.
- Challenge, clarify, or recommend alternatives when a proposed change is incomplete, inconsistent, impractical, or misaligned with the overall output.
Concept and Functional Specifications
- Author and maintain concept and calculator specifications that translate business intent into complete functional and technical requirements.
- Identify missing paths, exceptions, contingencies, calculations, dependencies, and impacts to related products, riders, and outputs.
- Define implementable business rules, logical expressions, workflows, data needs, integration points, acceptance criteria, and calculations.
- Provide functional guidance to developers, analysts, testers, support teams, and other stakeholders on intended concept and output behavior.
- Perform gap and impact analysis across processes, systems, integrations, security, data, and outputs, securing stakeholder alignment on the design.
Agile Delivery and Stakeholder Partnership
- Partner with Product Owners and Agile team members to refine epics and stories, clarify scope, define acceptance criteria, and confirm development readiness.
- Serve as a liaison across business, technology, legal, compliance, and vendors; communicate complex product and technical details clearly and manage expectations.
- Participate actively in backlog refinement, sprint planning, design discussions, reviews, retrospectives, defect triage, and release-readiness activities.
- Communicate dependencies, risks, assumptions, decisions, and delivery impacts, and drive cross-workstream issues to resolution.
- Maintain current, traceable documentation and alignment among specifications, user stories, and the delivered solution.
- Use modern tools, automation, and AI-enabled approaches, where appropriate, to improve analysis, documentation, consistency, and delivery efficiency.
What You’ll Bring
You are a strong analytical thinker and communicator who can take ownership of complex problems, bring structure to ambiguity, and translate business intent into clear, implementable solutions. You combine attention to detail with a broad, cross-product perspective and are comfortable challenging assumptions, facilitating decisions, and influencing stakeholders across business and technology.
You bring deep knowledge of life insurance products and illustration outputs, along with the technical aptitude to understand logical expressions, calculations, business rules, integrations, and system behavior.
Required Skills
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Business Information Systems, Mathematics, Actuarial Science, Finance, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
- 5+ years of experience in technical analysis, systems analysis, business analysis, product analysis, software development, or a related technology-delivery role.
- Working knowledge of actuarial or financial mathematics sufficient to understand and document life insurance concept calculations.
- Strong knowledge of life insurance products, riders, illustrations, and related business processes.
- Strong business analysis skills across user interfaces, business rules, integrations, and system requirements, with the ability to translate complex or ambiguous needs into clear, development-ready specifications.
- Strong logical reasoning, including analysis of complex conditions, exceptions, dependencies, and downstream impacts.
- Demonstrated facilitation and communication skills, including leading requirements workshops, presenting requirements to technical and business audiences, building stakeholder consensus, and driving requirements through approval/sign-off.
- Ability to manage multiple priorities, work independently, and deliver accurate, high-quality results in a complex enterprise environment.
Preferred Skills
- Experience with life insurance illustration systems, sales concepts, calculation specifications, or regulated customer-facing outputs; actuarial training or experience is a plus.
- Experience leading or facilitating Agile ceremonies and cross-functional delivery discussions.
- Experience collaborating with legal, compliance, engineering, quality assurance, vendors, and business stakeholders.
- Familiarity with SAFe, modernization initiatives, cloud technologies, automation, or Generative AI-enabled analysis and documentation.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Technical Manager
Verify your degree aligns with the role
USCIS requires your degree field to directly relate to Technical Manager duties. A degree in a technical discipline like engineering or computer science is the clearest path. Unrelated degrees can trigger RFEs, so confirm alignment before applying.
Check LCA filings by occupation code
Technical Manager positions are typically filed under SOC code 11-9041. Use Migrate Mate to filter employers who have certified LCAs under this code, so you're targeting companies with documented H-1B filing history for this exact role.
Research prevailing wage levels before negotiating
Your offered salary must meet the DOL prevailing wage for your location and experience level. Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up Level II and Level III wages for Technical Manager roles in your target metro before entering salary discussions.
Target cap-exempt employers to bypass the lottery
Universities, nonprofit research organizations, and government entities can sponsor H-1B visas outside the annual lottery. Technical Manager roles at these institutions are cap-exempt, meaning USCIS can approve the petition year-round without a registration slot.
Confirm the employer's E-Verify enrollment before accepting an offer
H-1B employers must use E-Verify to confirm work authorization. Ask HR whether the specific hiring entity, not just the parent company, is enrolled. Subsidiaries and staffing intermediaries sometimes have separate enrollments that delay onboarding.
File premium processing if your start date is fixed
USCIS offers premium processing on I-129 petitions for a guaranteed 15-business-day adjudication. If your Technical Manager role has a contracted start date or project deadline, ask your employer to elect premium processing to avoid status gaps.
H-1B Visa Technical Manager: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Technical Manager role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, provided the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in a specific technical field such as engineering, computer science, or information technology. USCIS evaluates the job duties, not just the title. If the role involves general management with no required technical degree, it may not qualify, so the job description must clearly tie the duties to a specialized body of knowledge.
How do I find employers who actively sponsor H-1B visas for Technical Manager positions?
Migrate Mate surfaces employers with verified LCA filing history filtered by occupation code, so you can identify companies that have previously certified H-1B petitions for Technical Manager roles specifically. This removes guesswork and helps you focus your applications on employers already familiar with the sponsorship process for this title.
Can I transfer my H-1B to a new employer if I'm already a Technical Manager?
Yes. H-1B portability under AC21 lets you start working for a new employer as soon as the transfer petition is filed, provided your current H-1B has been approved for at least 180 days and the new role is in the same or a similar occupational classification. Technical Manager positions generally satisfy same-classification continuity with other management and senior technical roles.
What happens to my H-1B if my Technical Manager role is reclassified or my team is restructured?
A material change in job duties, location, or reporting structure can require your employer to file an amended I-129 petition before the change takes effect. If your role shifts from a technical leadership function to a purely administrative one, the amended petition may face specialty occupation scrutiny. Your employer's immigration counsel should evaluate any restructuring before it's finalized.
Does the O*NET classification for Technical Manager affect my H-1B petition?
O*NET provides the SOC code and job zone classification that employers use to define the role and determine the prevailing wage tier. Technical Manager positions typically fall under SOC 11-9041, Job Zone 4, which requires a bachelor's degree and several years of experience. Employers reference O*NET in the LCA and supporting documentation to justify the specialty occupation designation to USCIS.
