MetLife expands into Melbourne
Big US-based insurer MetLife is expanding its Australian presence with the opening of an office in Melbourne.
The company announced the move today, saying the new office, which would include the recruitment of 32 new roles, was reflective of business growth.
The appointments will be across claims, product and pricing, client relationship and finance.
Commenting on the move, MetLife Australia chief executive Damien Green said the company was strongly committed to the group insurance segment in Australia and to life insurance overall, and it intended to continue investing to generate and support long-term growth.
“MetLife’s continued significant investment in the Australian life insurance market is in line with our overall commitment to growing our customer base and to local partners,” Green said.
