Job Description

Hello!

It's a pleasure to meet you! We are happy to tell you all about our program FutureZ:Undergraduate Excellence Program.

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

Let's 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 often 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 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 the 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 wonder: what does this program consist of? What makes it different? How do I know if I fit in at Zurich? We love that you're asking all these questions.

Future Z is our Excellence scholarship program for final-year students.

We are looking for final-year students (2026 - 2027) of Mathematics, Statistics, Actuarial Sciences, Business, Data, Economics, Engineering... who are interested in developing their professional career in the insurance sector (spoiler: you might not know yet that this is YOUR sector, but thanks to this program, you'll discover that your future is here!)

We'll be a match if...

·You are finishing your degree/master's with a solid academic record (we highly value if you have taken any courses related to the insurance sector)

·You can demonstrate a competent level of English (minimum C1)

·You are eager to learn and face new challenges

·You are autonomous and proactive

·You have good analytical skills and a great capacity for problem-solving

·You are willing to change things through innovative solutions

·It will be an advantage if you have demonstrated experience in programming (for example: R or Python).

Future Z is a different scholarship program, designed especially for you! We believe that development should be based on a 3-pillar strategy, so the program will have:

1.Training - learning about new topics. àAn ad-hoc training path for FutureZ, which will give you the possibility to learn and develop quickly.

2.Mentorship - learning from others with more experience. àThrough an international job shadowing program between colleagues from other countries and mentorships with company leaders, which will help you develop both life skills and technical skills.

3.Learning by doing - practicing and learning from others with real challenges. àDaily work experience within a high-talent team that is strategic for our business.

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

·Ability to establish a collaboration agreement with the University and/or Business School for a minimum of 8/9 months with the possibility of extension is required.

·We never stop growing, and if this works out, we'd love to have you on board!

·Part-time morning schedule (5h/day from Monday to Friday).

·The location will be in our Barcelona or Madrid 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 do 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, no gimmicks.

We hope to meet you very soon.

¡Hola!

¡Encantados/as de saludarte! Estamos felices de contarte todo acerca de nuestro programa FutureZ:Undergraduate Excellence Program.

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 seremos claros/as, 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: ¿en qué consiste este programa? ¿qué tiene de diferente? ¿Cómo se si encajo en Zurich? Nos encanta que te hagas todas estas preguntas

Future Z es nuestro programa de becas de Excelencia para estudiantes de último curso.

Estamos buscando a estudiantes de último año (2026 - 2027) de Matemáticas, Estadística, Ciencias Actuariales, Negocios, Datos, Economía, Ingeniería... que estén interesados en desarrollar su carrera profesional en el sector asegurador (spoiler, igual no sabes todavía que este es TU sector, pero gracias a este programa, descubrirás que ¡tu futuro está aquí!)

·Tienes una buena capacidad analítica y tienes una gran capacidad resolutiva

·Estás dispuesto/a a cambiar las cosas a través de soluciones innovadoras

·Será una ventaja si tienes experiencia demostrada en programación (por ejemplo: R o Python).

Future Z es un programa de becas diferente, diseñado especialmente ¡para ti! Creemos que el desarrollo debe basarse en una estrategia de 3 pilares, por lo que el programa tendrá:

1.Formación - aprender sobre nuevos temas. àRuta de formación adhoc para FutureZ, que te dará la posibilidad de aprender y desarrollarte de manera rápida.

2.Mentoría - aprender de otros con más experiencia. àA través de unprograma de job shadowing internacional entre compañeros de otros países y mentorías con lideres de la empresa, que te ayudarán a desarrollar tanto las habilidades de vida, cómo las más técnicas.

3.Aprender haciendo - practicar y aprender de otros con desafíos reales. àExperiencia de trabajo diario dentro de un equipo de alto talento y estratégico para nuestro negocio.

¿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 8/9 meses con posibilidad de extensión.

·No paramos de crecer y si esto funciona, ¡nos encantaría contar contigo!

·Jornada parcial en horario de mañana(5h/día de lunes a viernes).

·La ubicación será en nuestras oficinas de Barcelona o Madrid.

·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 leernos. ¿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.

Esperamos conocerte muy pronto.
