SME Risk Subscription Scholarship

Description

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 awesome! 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 its 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 state it loud and clear: we’re proud of our colors and believe that diverse teams make the difference. Here, we don’t talk about disability—we talk about ability. **Being authentically yourself is our top priority**, without closets standing between us and without glass ceilings. 50% of our leadership positions are held by women (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’re asking this question (I asked it myself back then):** We’re seeking someone eager to learn and grow within the **USM SME EXPRESS Underwriting** team. You’ll participate in analyzing and underwriting straightforward business risks in property and liability lines—always supported and supervised by the underwriting team. During your scholarship, you’ll be able to: * + Collaborate on risk analysis and underwriting, following The Zurich Way of Underwriting framework. + Learn how to calculate pricing using underwriting tools. + Participate in exposure analysis and risk assessment. + Support budget preparation and coverage definition. + Collaborate on operations management and support for agents and brokers. + Help resolve technical queries, relying on internal policies and procedures. + Build professional relationships with internal teams, delivering close, high-quality service. **By now, you’re probably wondering: “How do I know if I’m a good fit?”** Don’t worry—I won’t ask you to save the planet or meet 100% of the requirements. We believe you could be a great fit if: * + You have an interest in Liability and Property insurance—even at a basic or academic level. + You enjoy working collaboratively and interacting with people from different areas. + You’re proactive, organized, and eager to contribute ideas. + You’re motivated to learn, take on new challenges, and grow professionally. + You possess strong communication skills and a customer-oriented mindset. + A solid level of English will ensure your success in collaborating with colleagues. **Are you interested? We’re excited to meet you—but first, here’s what you need to know…** * + A collaboration agreement with a university and/or business school is required, for a minimum duration of 6 months, with possible extension. + We’re constantly growing—and if this works out, we’d love to have you on board! + Part-time schedule (5 hours/day, Monday to Friday). + Location: our offices in Barcelona… though we’d like to mention that we offer an 80% remote work policy! + Paid internship: €800. + Plus access to training—and much more! Right now, you’re either feeling the excitement of when a pair of pants fits perfectly—or thinking: “This isn’t for me.” (If it’s not for you, that’s totally 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 awesome—or not? If you felt butterflies in your stomach and believe we’re a match, send up smoke signals—or your CV, if smoke isn’t your thing. And to wrap up—would you like to know what others at Zurich think? I’d say we continue ranking among the Top Employers in Spain as our calling card—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
