Duties Description The New York Department of Financial Services (DFS) seeks to build an equitable, transparent and resilient financial system that benefits individuals and supports business.

The Insurance Division is responsible for the supervision and regulation of the insurance industry in New York State – including nearly 1,800 insurance companies and more than 350,000 insurance producers – by establishing standards for financial solvency, market conduct, corporate oversight, and regulation, and monitoring the compliance of regulated entities with these standards.

This position requires direct contact with the Superintendent, Executive team, Senior and Deputy Superintendents, and Division management and staff on a daily basis as well as significant contact with insurance entities, attorneys, other state and federal regulatory agencies and the public.

The Insurance Division is comprised of over 500 employees divided among four Bureaus. The Health, Life and Property Bureaus are responsible for regulating health, life and property/casualty life insurance companies doing business in New York, respectively. In addition, the Producer Bureau is responsible for all aspects of the licensing, examination, supervision and discipline of insurance producers in the State.

• Leads or participates in meetings and conferences, and generally interacts, with regulated entities or their representatives, industry organizations, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, other governmental entities and the public on insurance-related matters.

Additional information regarding the duties will be discussed at the time of interview.

• At least 10 years of relevant work experience in the insurance and financial services industry;
• At least 5 years of managerial supervision;
• Knowledge of insurance regulation and New York Insurance Law;
