About the role

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 experience those moments with my family and our dear cat Rosita.

Maybe this is the tenth job posting you've read today, on the sofa with Netflix in the background, or in the middle of a life change... and they all seem the same to you.

Let me be clear with you: 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 being interested 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 sum up 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 by fighting climate change through actions like reforesting forests in Madrid and Doñana National Park. In 2025, we logged more than 28,000 hours of activism.
  • At Zurich, we say it loud and clear: we're proud of our colors and we believe a diverse team makes a difference. Here we don't talk about disability, we talk about ability.  Being able to be yourself is our priority, with no closets standing between us and no glass ceilings. 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're building a company where all people are welcome.

And you might be wondering: Mariana, 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 back in the day):

We are looking for a Business Manager (BM) for Agent Recruitment in Málaga for the Southern/Canary Islands Regional Directorate, with a key role in the development, activation, and growth of an agent network. The position aims to ensure the achievement of commercial targets in the Retail, Corporate, and Life insurance businesses, ensuring sustainable and profitable growth. 

What you'll do

What will your main responsibilities be?  

Lead, manage, and develop an assigned panel of agents, driving their growth and professionalization, and ensuring the achievement of commercial targets under profitability and quality criteria. 

Your role combines commercial management, people development, and strategic business vision: 

Agent recruitment and management:

  • Identify, attract, and select new agents for the network.  
  • Evaluate candidates and formalize their onboarding.  
  • Ensure proper operational setup for new agents.  

Business activation and development:

  • Maintain an ongoing relationship with agents, both in person and remotely.  
  • Monitor commercial targets and results.  
  • Identify growth opportunities in the market, anticipating trends and competitor moves.  

Agent monitoring and development:

  • Support agents in their professional development through career plans.  
  • Conduct mentoring and follow-up sessions.   
  • Identify deviations in results and activate improvement and mitigation plans. 

How do I know if I fit?

At this point, you're probably wondering, how do I know if I fit in?

Don't worry, I won't ask you to save the planet or meet 100% of the requirements:

  • Strong results orientation and business vision.  
  • Ability to lead and influence without direct hierarchical dependency.  
  • Analytical skills and data-driven decision-making.  
  • Proactivity, autonomy, and organizational skills.  
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.  
  • Experience in commercial management and business development.  
  • Experience in managing agent networks or indirect channels is a plus.  
  • Experience in managing key clients or accounts.  
  • Knowledge and use of digital and collaborative tools (Teams, Power BI, CRM, among others).  

Additional information

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, no problem, we'll cross paths again in the future). You can play matchmaker by sharing my contact with anyone you think might fit.

At Zurich, we really know how to 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 with my personal life. Here, flexible hours and digital disconnection are real.

#PorSerDeZurich, you can choose the benefits that best suit your needs. We know that, when it comes to taste, there's no accounting for it. 

  • We offer a mega-flexible hybrid work model.
  • 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 up your development and growth: English classes, training, and a personalized mentoring program.
  • We want to shake up your expectations of flexible compensation. With our benefits package, you can choose what best fits 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 that motivates you the 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 sporting spirit, at Zurich we're going for gold! Marathons, races, gym discounts, and much more. 3, 2, 1... warm up, we're off!
  • Are you more of a beach or mountain person? You'll have 25 days of vacation, 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 retirement plan and life insurance. 
  • We look 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 me. What did you think? Are we awesome or not?

If you've felt butterflies in your stomach and think we're a good fit, send up 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 say we're still at the top of Top Employers Spain as a 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.
