The role

description

Hello!

I'm Celia, the recruiter for this position. I love musical theater, karaoke, and starting series, even if I sometimes 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 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 fighting climate change through actions such as reforesting forests in Madrid and Doñana National Park. In 2024 we did more than 20,000 hours of activism.
  • At Zurich, we say it loud and clear: we are proud of our colors and we 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 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: Celia, 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):

We are looking for a Property Claims Handler to join the Property Express team. Your objective will be to manage Home insurance claims with the highest quality and customer orientation.

  • You will manage Home claims up to €30,000.
  • You will handle claims against opposing companies.
  • You will work to achieve the unit's recovery, average cost, and fraud objectives.
  • You will interact with opposing companies, external collaborators, loss adjusters, lawyers, and other internal areas.
  • You will assist our customers by telephone to offer them the best service.

At this point, you might be wondering, how do I know if I'm a good fit?

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

We are looking for someone with:

  • Experience in claims handling or knowledge of the insurance sector.
  • Ability to work in a team and good communication.
  • Ability to negotiate and resolve conflicts.
  • Positive attitude and customer orientation.
  • If you also use tools such as Excel or claims platforms, it will be a plus!

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 are big enjoyers, we like to live life. You'll have to tell me later how we can make you happy, but I personally 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 already know that, to each their own.

  • We offer a mega-flexible hybrid model so you can work how and where you want within Spain. We support you with a home office allowance.
  • 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.
