Pay & benefits

What you'll get

Right now, you're either feeling that excitement like when a pair of pants fits perfectly, or you're thinking, "this isn't for me" (and if it's not, no worries—we'll cross paths again in the future). You can play matchmaker and share my contact with anyone you think might be a good fit.

At Zurich, we really enjoy life, we love living it to the fullest. You'll tell me how we can make you happy, but I love being able to balance my work and personal life. Here, flexible working hours and true digital disconnection are a reality.

#PorSerDeZurich, you can choose the benefits that best suit your needs. We already know that, to each their own.

  • We believe in flexibility. We are enjoyers and responsible people. You will enjoy a hybrid model that will allow you to organize your day-to-day with autonomy from Spain, attending when necessary to have that coffee with your colleagues at your workplace, talk about your day-to-day, get to know each other / have a laugh... We believe in maintaining closeness, collaboration, and connection with your team.
  • We believe in the philosophy of learning by doing, so you can move to other areas locally or internationally through our "Talent in Motion" program. And to keep supporting your development and growth: English classes, training, and a personalized mentoring program.
  • We want to shake up your expectations about flexible compensation. With our benefits package, you can choose what works best for you and your needs: health insurance, childcare, training, restaurant tickets... and much more!
  • We love putting smiles on people's faces, and at Zurich we know that's easier than it seems, which is why we're activists. And why not dedicate a whole day to the cause you care about most?
  • Referral bonus if you recommend a talent like you. We're not looking for anyone perfect, but if you know someone who's awesome, share my contact with them—I'd love to meet them.
  • If you have a competitive spirit, at Zurich we're going for gold! Marathons, races, gym discounts, and much more. 3, 2, 1... warm up, here we go!
  • Are you more of a beach person or a mountain person? You'll get 25 vacation days, plus the insurance day and your birthday off, so you can enjoy what you love most. But don't be fooled—real disconnection. Because yes, we all deserve a little break and to enjoy life, which is short.
  • At Zurich, we think about your future and offer you a pension plan and life insurance.
  • We're always looking for the best prices for you! You'll have access to thousands of discounts on insurance and banking products.

If you've made it this far, THANK YOU for reading. What did you think? Are we awesome or what?

If you felt butterflies in your stomach and think we're a good match, send up smoke signals—or your CV, if smoke isn't your thing.

And to wrap things up, do you want to know what other people at Zurich think? I'd say we're still ranked at the top in Top Employers Spain as our calling card, but I encourage you to check out our Glassdoor profile so they can tell you themselves. No tricks, no gimmicks.

I hope to meet you very soon.

In their own words

About the company & team

Hello!

I'm Mariana, the recruiter for this position. Traveling is one of my greatest joys, and what makes it even more special is being able to live those experiences with my family and our beloved cat Rosita
First of all, THANK YOU for your interest in this vacancy.

Maybe this is the tenth job posting you've read today, whether you're on the couch with Netflix in the background or in the middle of a career change... and they all start to look the same.

Let me be clear: at Zurich, we're not perfect, but we're pretty awesome! And if you want to know why, keep reading.

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

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

  • We love volunteering, but we prefer being activists for change. How? By focusing on young people at risk of social exclusion or by fighting climate change with actions like reforesting forests in Madrid and Doñana National Park. In 2025, we logged more than 28,000 hours of activism.
  • In Zurich, we say it loud and clear: we are proud of our colors and we believe that a diverse team makes a difference. Here, we don't talk about disability, we talk about ability. Being your true self is our priority, with no closets to hide in and no glass ceilings to break. 50% of our management positions are held by women (including the Executive Committee).

Did you know we produce our own podcasts about sexual identity? We are building a company where everyone is welcome.

And you will wonder: Mariana, what will my day-to-day be like wearing the blue shirt? I love that you ask me this (I asked it to myself at the time too):
