Beca Investment Management

Hey! I am Paula, the recruiter for this role. I love to travel around the world and learn about new cultures. 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. I will be honest with you, at Zurich we do not claim to be perfect, but we are pretty cool! If you want to know why, keep reading! But first, 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. This year alone, we have already volunteered for over 13000h! 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 Direction Committee). Do you know that we produce our own podcasts about gender identity? We are building a company were everyone is welcome! At this point you might be asking yourself: Paula, how will be my day to day wearing the blue sweater? I asked that question too.
