Job Description

Hello!

I'm Leyre, the recruiter for this position. I love writing and reading horror stories, but what I enjoy most is a good family meal with the people I love most. If you like seventies and eighties music as much as I do, we'll definitely connect!

Maybe we are the tenth offer you've read today, on the sofa with Netflix in the background, or in the middle of a period of change... and they all seem the same to you.

I'll be clear: at Zurich we aren't perfect, but we're pretty cool! And if you want to know why, keep reading.

First of all, THANK YOU for your interest in our company. We know that searching for new opportunities is usually a challenge, but... don't worry, everything comes in time!

Let's get straight to the point! I'll try to summarize our DNA in 2 points:

We love volunteering, but we prefer to be activists for change. How? By focusing on young people at risk of social exclusion or fighting against climate change with actions such as reforestation of forests in Madrid and in the Doñana Park. In 2024, we completed more than 20,000 hours of activism.
At Zurich, we say it loud and clear: we are proud of our colors and believe that a diverse team makes a difference. Here we don't talk about disability, we talk about ability. That you can be yourself is our priority, without closets standing between us and without glass ceilings. 50% of our leadership positions are held by women (including the Steering Committee).Did you know we produce our own podcasts on sexual identity? We are building a company where everyone is welcome.

And you might be wondering: Leyre, what will my day-to-day be like wearing the blue shirt? I love that you ask me this (I asked myself the same thing at the time):

You will analyze results of the actions carried out and send reports to the teams.

You will provide support in management with our agent channel and specific business development initiatives.

You will manage an email account with different requests and provide support for incident resolution.

You will update databases regularly to keep all information up to date.

You will contact internal sales teams or agents by phone.

You will send emails to sales teams and agents using PowerAutomate.

By now, you're probably wondering, how do I know if I fit in?

Don't worry, I'm not going to ask you to save the planet or meet 100% of the requirements.

If you are interested in business analysis and digitalization.
If you bring knowledge in advanced administration, MS Excel, and database management.
If you have decision-making capacity and the ability to analyze organizations and their dynamic environment.
If you demonstrate commitment, motivation, and a desire to learn. Proactivity, autonomy, and creativity will be your great allies.
It is not essential, but if you have worked in the insurance and/or banking sector, it is a more than welcome plus.
That you are motivated by collaborative work tools (e.g., Jira, Teams, Slack, etc).
We are a global and international company, so English will be a great ally in your day-to-day (C1 level is desirable).

Are you interested? We are looking forward to meeting you, but first you should know...

Ability to establish a collaboration agreement with a University and/or Business School for a minimum of 6 months is required.
We never stop growing and if this works out, we would love to have you on board!
Part-time schedule (5 hours a day in the morning, Monday to Friday).
The location will be at our Barcelona offices.
These are paid internships of 800€.
Additionally, you will have access to training, and much more!

Right now, you're either feeling the excitement of when a pair of pants fits perfectly or you're thinking: "this isn't for me" (if it's not for you, that's okay, we'll meet again in the future). You can play matchmaker by sharing my contact with anyone you think might fit.

If you've made it this far, THANK YOU for reading. What did you think? Are we cool or not? If you've felt butterflies in your stomach and think we're a match, send smoke signals, or your CV, if smoke isn't your thing.

And to wrap up, do you want to know what other people who are part of Zurich think? I'd tell you that we remain at the top of Top Employers Spain as a letter of introduction, but I encourage you to take a look at our Glassdoor profile so they can tell you themselves. No tricks, just the truth.

I hope to meet you very soon.

¡Hola!

Soy Leyre, recruiter de esta posición. Me encanta escribir y leer historias de terror, pero de lo que más disfruto es de una buena comida familiar con las personas que más quiero. Si te gusta la música de los setenta y ochenta tanto como a mí, ¡conectaremos seguro!

Quizás somos la décima oferta que lees hoy, en el sofá con Netflix de fondo, o en pleno proceso de cambios... y todas te parecen iguales.

¡Te seré clara, en Zurich no somos perfectos, pero molamos bastante! Y si quieres saber por qué, sigue leyendo.

Antes de nada, GRACIAS por interesarte en nuestra compañía. Sabemos que la búsqueda de nuevas oportunidades suele ser un reto, pero... ¡no te preocupes que todo llega!

¡Vayamos al grano! Intentaré resumirte en 2 puntos nuestro ADN:

Nos encanta el voluntariado, pero preferimos ser activistas del cambio. ¿Cómo? Poniendo nuestro foco en jóvenes que están en riesgo de exclusión social o luchando contra el cambio climático con acciones como la reforestación de bosques en Madrid y en el Parque de Doñana. En 2024 hicimos más de 20.000 horas de activismo.
En Zurich, lo decimos alto y claro: estamos orgullosos de nuestros colores y creemos que un equipo diverso marca la diferencia. Aquí no hablamos de discapacidad, hablamos de habilidad. Que puedas ser tú mismo/a es nuestra prioridad, sin armarios que se interpongan entre nosotros y sin techos de cristal. El 50% de nuestros puestos de responsabilidad están ocupados por mujeres (incluido el Comité de Dirección).¿Sabes que producimos nuestros propios podcasts sobre identidad sexual? Estamos construyendo una compañía en la que todas las personas son bienvenidas.

Y te preguntarás: Leyre, ¿cómo será mi día a día con la camiseta azul? Me encanta que me hagas esta pregunta (yo también me la hice en su momento):

Analizarás resultados de las acciones realizadas y enviarás informes a los equipos.

Darás soporte en la gestión con nuestro canal de agentes e iniciativas específicas de desarrollo comercial.

Gestionarás una cuenta de correo con diferentes solicitudes y darás soporte a resolución de incidencias.

Actualizarás BBDD regularmente que nos permitirá tener al día toda la información

Contactarás telefónicamente con los equipos comerciales internos o con los agentes.

Realizarás envíos de correos a los equipos comerciales y agentes mediante PowerAutomate.

A estas alturas, te estarás preguntando, ¿cómo sé si encajo?

No te preocupes, no te voy a pedir que salves el planeta ni que cumplas el 100% de los requisitos.

Si estás interesado en el análisis de negocio y digitalización.
Si aportas conocimientos en administrativos avanzados, MS Excel y gestión de bases de datos.
Si tienes capacidad de toma de decisiones y análisis de las organizaciones y su entorno dinámico.
Si demuestras entrega, motivación y ganas de aprender. La proactividad, autonomía y creatividad serán tus grandes aliados.
No es indispensable, pero si has trabajado en el sector asegurador y/o bancario es un plus más que bienvenido.
Que te motiven las herramientas de trabajo colaborativo (ej: Jira, Teams, Slack, etc).
Somos una compañía global e internacional, así que el inglés será un gran aliado en tu día a día (deseable que aportes un nivel C1).

¿Te interesa? Estamos deseando conocerte, pero antes tienes que saber...

Se requiere poder realizar un convenio de colaboración con la Universidad y/o Escuela de Negocios de un mínimo de 6 meses.
No paramos de crecer y si esto funciona, ¡nos encantaría contar contigo!
Jornada parcial (5 horas al día en horario de mañana de lunes a viernes).
La ubicación será en nuestras oficinas de Barcelona.
Son prácticas remuneradas de 800€.
Además, tendrás acceso a formación, ¡y mucho más!

Ahora mismo, o estás con la emoción de cuando un pantalón te entra perfecto o estás pensando: "esto no es para mí" (si no es para ti, no pasa nada, ya nos volveremos a encontrar en el futuro). Puedes hacer de celestina compartiendo mi contacto con quien creas que pueda encajar.

Si has llegado hasta aquí, GRACIAS por leerme. ¿Qué te ha parecido? ¿Molamos o no? Si has sentido mariposas en el estómago y crees que encajamos, manda señales de humo, o el CV, si no te va bien lo del humo.

Y para ir terminando, ¿quieres saber qué opinan otras personas que forman parte de Zurich? Yo te diría que seguimos estando en lo más alto en Top Employers España como carta de presentación, pero te animo a echar un vistazo a nuestro perfil de Glassdoor para que sean ellas quiénes te lo cuenten. Sin trampa ni cartón.

Espero conocerte muy pronto.
