Position Summary: Internship supporting risk assessment, project review, preparation of insurance quotations, and training on Construction insurance products, with interaction with commercial teams. Key Highlights: 1. Learning and growth in the insurance industry 2. Participation in a diverse and inclusive team 3. Focus on volunteering and social/climate activism Hello! I’m Leyre, the recruiter for this position. I love writing and reading horror stories—but what I enjoy most is sharing a great family meal with the people I love most. If you’re as fond of 70s and 80s music as I am, we’ll definitely connect! Perhaps this is the tenth opportunity you’ve read today—while lounging on the sofa with Netflix playing in the background—or amid a major life transition… and they all seem identical to you. Let me be clear: at Zurich, we’re not perfect—but we’re pretty cool! And if you’d like to know why, keep reading. First and foremost, THANK YOU for your interest in our company. We know that searching for new opportunities can be challenging—but don’t worry: everything comes in due time! **Let’s get straight to the point!** I’ll summarize our DNA in two key 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 contributed over 20\.000 hours of activism. + At Zurich, we say it loud and clear: we’re proud of our colors and believe diversity makes the difference. Here, we don’t talk about disability—we talk about ability. **Being authentically yourself is our top priority**, with no closets standing between us and no glass ceilings. Women hold 50% of our leadership positions (including the Executive Committee). Did you know we produce our own podcasts on sexual identity? We’re building a company where everyone is welcome. **You might be wondering: Leyre, what will my day-to-day look like wearing the blue shirt? I love that you ask this question (I asked it myself back then):** During your internship, your responsibilities will include: + Supporting standard risk assessments according to internal criteria. + Reviewing technical reports and construction project documentation. + Preparing draft quotations and commercial proposals. + Interacting with commercial teams to monitor operations. + Training on Construction insurance products: - All-Risk Construction and Erection Insurance - Ten-Year Structural Defects Liability Insurance - Construction Civil Liability Insurance - External Damage to Machinery Insurance + Participating in team meetings and committees. **By now, you’re probably asking yourself: How do I know if I’m a good fit?** Don’t worry—we’re not looking for someone who knows everything from day one. We seek attitude, eagerness to learn, and motivation to grow within the insurance industry. We need someone with knowledge or academic background related to the **Construction** sector: architect, technical architect, building surveyor, building engineering, or other engineering disciplines. Additionally… + Analytical ability and attention to detail. + Interest in the insurance sector and risk management. + Curiosity about how construction projects or retail businesses operate. + Willingness to learn technical aspects of the sector. + Proactivity and eagerness to learn. **Are you interested? We’re eager to meet you—but before you apply, please note…** + A collaboration agreement with a university and/or business school of at least six months’ duration is required. + We’re constantly growing—and if this works out, we’d love to have you on board! + Part-time schedule (5 hours per day, mornings Monday to Friday). + Location: our offices in Madrid. + Paid internship: €800 per month. + Plus access to training—and much more! Right now, you’re either feeling the excitement of finding the perfect pair of pants—or thinking: “This isn’t for me.” (If it’s not for you, that’s perfectly fine—we’ll surely cross paths again in the future.) Feel free to play matchmaker and share my contact details with anyone you think might be a good fit. If you’ve made it this far, THANK YOU for reading. What did you think? Are we cool—or not? If you felt butterflies in your stomach and believe we’re a good match, send up smoke signals—or your CV, if smoke isn’t your thing. And to wrap up: would you like to hear what others at Zurich think? I’d tell you we’re still ranked among the Top Employers in Spain—but I encourage you to check our Glassdoor profile so they can tell you themselves. No tricks, no gimmicks. Hope to meet you very soon. Leyre Romea
