Hey!
I am Marta, the recruiter for this role. I love the fall, to travel and read. Lovely to meet you!
Perhaps this is the 10th Job Description you read today, sitting on your couch with Netflix playing in the background, or contemplating your life planning to refresh your career. I am sure by now all offers look the same.
At Zurich we do not claim to be perfect, but we are pretty cool! If you want to know why, keep reading!
Thank you for showing interest in our company. We know that a job search can be challenging, but don’t worry, what goes around comes around!
Let’s get straight to the point! I will try to sum up our DNA in 2 essential points:
* We love volunteering but we prefer to be Change Activists. What does that mean? We focus our efforts in helping youths in risk of social marginalization and fighting climate change by reforesting parks or woods in Madrid and in the Doñana Forest. 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, we believe that a diverse and inclusive team makes the difference. We don’t discuss disability, we discuss capability! We want you to be yourself, without closets in between or glass ceilings making you fragile. 50% of our high responsibility positions are occupied by women (including our Executive Committee). Do you know that we produce our own podcasts about gender identity? We are building a company where everyone is welcome!
At this point you might be asking yourself: Marta, how will be my day to day wearing the blue sweater? I asked that question too.
Managing a team with the responsibilities below:
* Analysis and presentation of ALM risk reports, including the preparation of the Investment Book of the Spanish life companies.

* Analysis of new investment proposals from the risk and regulatory point of view.
* Portfolio performance monitoring and reporting.
* Management of the Local investments data warehouse collecting accounting information and credit ratings.

How do you know you fit in? I’ll explain:
Don’t worry, we are not asking you to save the planet or meet 100% of the requirements.
QUALIFICATIONS/EXPERIENCE:
* 5+ years of relevant experience in investment management, ALM, risk management or actuarial roles.
* Master’s degree in finance, Econometrics, Actuarial Sciences, Mathematics or Statistics. CFA or FRM certification preferably.
