Business Overview
New York Life is advancing an AI-led transformation of Portfolio Management across OCIO and NYLIM, with the ambition of connecting proprietary investment expertise, portfolio information, market intelligence, data, analytics, and AI to improve investment decision-making across the enterprise.
The Portfolio Construction & Markets domain brings together portfolio construction, asset allocation, portfolio monitoring, rebalancing, market and macro research, and related investment decision workflows. The opportunity is to move from fragmented information and episodic analysis toward more continuous, connected, and intelligence-enabled investment decision support.
Role Overview
The Corporate Vice President, Portfolio Construction & Markets Technology provides senior end-to-end technology leadership for the Portfolio Construction & Markets domain within New York Life's AI-led Portfolio Management transformation. The leader is accountable for translating future-state investment capabilities into a coherent technology strategy, architecture, roadmap, and portfolio of executable outcomes spanning applications, data, analytics, AI, agentic capabilities, integration, engineering, controls, and production readiness.
This is broader than an application development or program management role. The leader is expected to understand the investment decisions and workflows the technology must enable, challenge current-state constraints, and work across OCIO, NYLIM, Technology, Data & Analytics, Architecture, Risk, Compliance, and strategic partners to fundamentally reimagine how portfolio construction and market intelligence are delivered.
A central part of the mandate is determining how AI and agentic capabilities can augment investment professionals by assembling relevant information, identifying signals and patterns, synthesizing internal and external perspectives, evaluating portfolio implications, and accelerating analysis while preserving investment judgment, transparency, provenance, and appropriate controls.

-
Use prototypes and rapid solution engineering to test difficult business and technology hypotheses before scaling.
-
Lead multidisciplinary outcome teams bringing together Product Owners, Forward Deployed Analysts, Forward Deployed Engineers, Obin AI engineers, investment SMEs, Data SMEs, and Risk/Control partners.

Navigate differing requirements across investment teams while identifying capabilities that should be common across the enterprise.
-
Ensure security, entitlements, information barriers, model governance, data controls, Compliance, and Risk requirements are incorporated from inception.
-
Establish transparent measures of delivery health, adoption, decision effectiveness, productivity, technology performance, and business value.
Talent & Organizational Leadership
-
Build, lead and develop high performing teams with strong domain knowledge and modern technology and engineering capabilities.
-
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.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Portfolio Manager
Verify your CFA credential transfers cleanly
Singapore-issued CFA and CAIA designations are recognized by U.S. employers, but confirm your credential body has a U.S. membership record. Gaps in verification slow offer letters and delay LCA filing with DOL.
Target asset managers with existing H-1B1 LCA history
Use the OFLC Wage Search to filter for employers who have filed Labor Condition Applications under H-1B1 Singapore for finance or investment roles. These firms already understand the consular process and won't stall on paperwork.
Search verified sponsoring employers on Migrate Mate
Migrate Mate filters Portfolio Manager roles by H-1B1 Singapore visa sponsorship history so you're only seeing employers who have actually filed, not those who say they're 'open to sponsorship' with no record behind it.
Confirm the wage level before signing an offer
Your employer's LCA must certify a wage at or above the DOL prevailing wage for portfolio managers in that metro area. Check the OFLC Wage Search for the SOC code 13-2099 wage levels before you negotiate, not after.
Request consular processing in Singapore not a COS
H-1B1 visa applications bypass USCIS entirely and go directly to the Singapore U.S. Embassy. If a recruiter suggests change of status filings, clarify that H-1B1 is consular-only and ask their immigration counsel to confirm the correct pathway.
Check your O*NET profile matches the job description
Portfolio Manager roles must qualify as a specialty occupation. Pull the O*NET profile for your target SOC code and confirm the employer's job description requires a directly related bachelor's degree, not a general business background.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Portfolio Manager role qualify as a specialty occupation under H-1B1 Singapore?
Yes, portfolio management qualifies when the position requires a bachelor's degree or higher in finance, economics, or a directly related field. Roles that accept any business degree without field specificity can face scrutiny. The O*NET profile for financial managers and investment analysts is the standard employers use to document specialty occupation status in the LCA.
How does the H-1B1 Singapore visa compare to H-1B for Portfolio Manager roles?
H-1B1 Singapore skips the lottery entirely and is processed at the U.S. Embassy in Singapore rather than through USCIS. The 5,400 annual cap has never been exhausted, so timing isn't a competitive constraint. The trade-off is that H-1B1 doesn't allow dual intent, so maintaining nonimmigrant intent is a real consideration if you plan to pursue permanent residency later.
How do I find Portfolio Manager employers who already sponsor H-1B1 Singapore visas?
Migrate Mate lets you search Portfolio Manager roles filtered specifically by H-1B1 Singapore sponsorship history, pulling from DOL Labor Condition Application data. This surfaces employers who have completed the LCA process before, which significantly reduces the risk of an offer falling through due to employer unfamiliarity with the visa category.
Can I switch Portfolio Manager employers while on H-1B1 Singapore status?
Yes, but the new employer must file a fresh LCA with DOL and complete a new consular application before you begin work. There's no portability provision like H-1B's AC21 rule. If you're between roles, your authorized stay doesn't automatically extend, so time your transition carefully and confirm the new employer's filing timeline before giving notice.
What role does the employer play in the H-1B1 Singapore filing process for this position?
Your employer files the Labor Condition Application with DOL and provides a support letter for your consular interview. They don't petition through USCIS as they would for H-1B. You attend the interview at the U.S. Embassy in Singapore and receive the visa stamp directly. Employers unfamiliar with this process sometimes assume USCIS is involved, which it isn't.
