The Opportunity
The Counsel position is responsible for providing legal advice on life, annuities, retirement and protection insurance products, including working with a team on SEC filings and exemptions from SEC filings, reviewing insurance and distribution contracts as well as client communications and marketing materials. The position is part of a team that supports two major lines of MetLife’s U.S. business. This is an exciting opportunity to gain experience with the regulation of individual and retirement insurance products and join a team that supports MetLife’s vision while providing quality service to our customers and overseeing compliance with insurance law and securities law requirements.
Success in this role requires a strong desire to develop subject matter expertise in both insurance and securities law as it relates to MetLife’s retail and retirement business.
Good interpersonal and communication skills are important factors. The Counsel position supports a team that is responsible for maintaining, updating and creating active SEC Form N-4, N-6, Form D filings and private placement memoranda as well as providing ongoing advice to our business partners on current and new initiatives and projects. You’ll be given the opportunity to learn dynamic areas of MetLife’s business and collaborate closely with senior members of the law department and business counterparts in an environment where every contribution is respected, and every perspective is heard.
