Thanks to our recommendations and expertise, they're able to bring real value to thousands of employees and their families every year.

Together, we are building a healthier, happier society. Are you ready to be part of that?

As a purpose-driven company with an established presence in the insurance industry, we are dedicated to building a diverse and motivated workforce. By collaborating with colleagues across different teams and projects, you'll have the opportunity to grow your skills and expand your mindset-opening the door to new career heights and possibilities.

Generating approximately $1.2 billion in annual sales and more than $9 billion in revenue, this exciting branch of our organization provides the chance to directly contribute to MetLife’s growth.

The National Accounts team works with more than 1,600 U.S. advisors-impacting the lives of approximately 50 million employees and their dependents, for the better. We help our clients take care of their most valuable resource, their workforce, by providing solutions and coverage to give America's employers and employees alike the confidence they need to weather life's ups and downs, now and in the future. MetLife’s comprehensive offerings include life, disability, vision, dental, property & casualty, accident & health, pet, identity theft and legal insurance, in addition to an ever-evolving set of voluntary benefits.

As an Account Executive, you'll be part of the solution and end each day knowing you made a difference.
