Job Description

Hi! I'm Male, the recruiter for this position. I love music, going to the beach, and making friends. Nice to meet you!

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 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 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. Being able to be yourself is our priority, with no closets standing between us and no 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: Male, 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):

We are looking for a Business Manager (RN) for the East-Levante Territorial Directorate (Valencia) with a key role in the development, dynamization, and growth of a network of agents. The position aims to ensure the fulfillment of commercial objectives in the Individual, Business, and Life segments, ensuring sustainable and profitable growth.

What will be your main responsibilities?

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

And you might wonder: Male, what will my day-to-day be like?

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

1. Recruitment and management of agents

  • Identify, attract, and select new agents for the network.

  • Evaluate candidates and formalize their onboarding.

  • Ensure a proper operational startup for new agents.

2. Business dynamization and development

  • Maintain a continuous relationship with agents, both in person and remotely.

  • Monitor objectives and commercial results.

  • Detect growth opportunities in the market, anticipating trends and competitor movements.

3. Monitoring and development of agents

  • Accompany agents in their professional development through career plans.

  • Conduct mentoring and follow-up sessions.

  • Identify deviations in results and activate improvement and mitigation plans.

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:

Capabilities and competencies

  • Strong results orientation and business vision.

  • Ability to lead and influence without direct hierarchical dependence.

  • Analytical capacity and data-driven decision making.

  • Proactivity, autonomy, and organizational skills.

  • Excellent communication and interpersonal relationship skills.

Experience and knowledge

  • Experience in commercial management and business development.

  • Valuable experience in managing agent networks or indirect channels.

  • Experience in managing relevant clients or accounts.

  • Knowledge and use of digital and collaborative tools (Teams, Power BI, CRM, among others).

You might be feeling the excitement of when a pair of pants fits perfectly, or you might be 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 info with anyone you think might fit.

At Zurich, we are big enjoyers of life; we like to live life 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 tastes differ.

  • We offer a mega-flexible hybrid model to work how and where you want within Spain. We help you with a home office bonus.

  • We believe in the philosophy of learning by doing so that you can move to other areas locally or internationally thanks to our "Talento en Movimiento" program. And to continue your development and growth: English classes, training, and a personalized mentoring program.

  • We want to break your expectations of flexible compensation. With our benefits pool, you can choose what best fits you and your needs: health insurance, childcare, training, restaurant vouchers... and much more!

  • We like to bring smiles, and at Zurich we know it's easier than it seems, which is why we are activists. Why not dedicate an entire day to the cause that motivates you most?

  • Referral bonus if you recommend talent like you. We aren't looking for anyone perfect, but if you know someone cool, share my contact info; I'd love to meet them.

  • If you have a sporting spirit, at Zurich we go for the gold! Marathons, races, gym discounts, and much more. 3, 2, 1... warm up, here we go!

  • Are you more of a beach or mountain person? You'll have 25 vacation days, plus the insurance day and your birthday, 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, since it's so 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. 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 doesn't work for you.

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.

I hope to meet you very soon.
