Role Value Proposition: A permanent opportunity has arisen within MetLife’s Fund Administration and Pricing team as a result of business growth. The successful candidate will join a team of six, gaining comprehensive exposure to all facets of Fund Administration—including fund pricing, accounting, underlying investments, and the associated processes and controls. This role also offers experience in implementing and adapting company systems and processes to address evolving business requirements, whether through targeted change requests or major project releases.

The Senior Fund Administrator will be responsible for the full lifecycle administration of European and UK internally managed funds. Key duties include daily fund pricing, NAV calculation, reconciliations, trade processing and settlement, corporate actions, valuations, dividend processing, and responding to related queries. The position demands strong technical expertise, meticulous attention to detail, and the ability to perform effectively in a deadline-driven environment.

Daily pricing is managed using the integrated Fund Admin system (Investpro), which produces investment accounting records and a daily declared price for each fund. The role involves ensuring all market and investment activity is updated accurately each day, and that all cash balances and investments are reconciled to third-party sources. Five portfolios of unit-linked investment funds are currently priced on a rotational basis by the Fund Admin Team.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a global, multinational insurance company in a permanent role, working within a high-performing fund administration team. The position offers end-to-end senior fund administration responsibilities and the chance to gain broad experience, including a deep understanding of the full pricing cycle, control framework, and related accounting and reporting processes.

Key Responsibilities:  

·  Produce timely and accurate daily fund prices for the assigned portfolio. 

·  Perform detailed reviews of fund administration activities completed by team members, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and adherence to established procedures. 

·  Validate that daily fund price calculations are precise and consistently reflect underlying market movements and relevant stock actions. 

·  Reconcile the daily fund net asset value (NAV)—which underpins the fund price—against all daily inputs, instructions, and third-party records, such as bank accounts, custodian statements, and mutual fund records. 

·  Complete all regulatory and management reporting requirements promptly and accurately. 

·  Engage in both internal and external interactions as a representative of the MetLife Fund Administration team, demonstrating professionalism and competence in all operational activities.

Essential Business Experience and Technical Skills:

·         Fund administration experience within a unit pricing area is essential (A minimum of 2-3 years of experience is essential but a greater number of years’ experience is viewed as an advantage in this role) 

·         Previous experience of working in a busy deadline driven team within a finance area/department 

The following would be advantageous but are not essential:

·         Prior experience working in life insurance 

·         Experience of Bloomberg/ Investpro

·         Strong Microsoft office capabilities, in-particular in the use of excel
