The role

description

Hello!

I'm Celia, the recruiter for this position. I love musical theater, karaoke, and starting series, although sometimes I struggle to finish them. You might think I'm a scattered person but, nothing could be further from the truth! Pleased to meet you!

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.
  • 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 your true self 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 everyone is welcome.

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

  • You'll handle claims for Commerce and Communities up to €30,000.
  • You'll interact with policyholders, external collaborators, experts, lawyers, and assistance companies, among others.
  • You'll provide phone support to our customers to deliver the best service.
  • You'll work toward achieving the unit's goals for recovery rates, average costs, and fraud detection.

By now, you're probably wondering, "Do I fit in here?"

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

  • Experience in handling claims for Commerce and Communities.
  • Ability to work as part of a team.
  • Experience in telephone customer service.
  • Strong negotiation and communication skills.
  • A proactive attitude toward learning and tackling the challenges that claims present.
  • Availability to commute to the office at least once a week, located at Plaza Solidaridad 12, Málaga.
  • If you already know our internal tools, like INFO or ZCLAIMS, it'll be a huge plus!
  • We're team players, and we love it when our colleagues are too—are you?

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 offer a super flexible hybrid model so you can work how and where you want within Spain. Plus, we'll provide you with all the equipment you need to work comfortably from home.
  • 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.

Celia Díaz.
