Group Audit Internship

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 13.000h
- 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.**
- Audit planning activities, including refresh of regulatory requirements, supporting Audit Leaders with the quarterly planning cycle, and preparation of Executive Committee and Audit Committee presentations and reports.
- Delivery oversight, including production of operational management information, and analysis and follow-up.
- Reporting activities including drafting of Monthly Controls Reports (snap-shot of audit results), monthly Audit Issue Extracts, and Group and subsidiary Audit Committee Reports.

**How do you know you fit in? I’ll explain**:

Right now, either you feel as great as when you fit into the right size of your jeans or you are thinking “this is not for me” (and that’s ok, we will meet again in a bright future). However, you can share my contact with those near you who you feel might be a fit to the job.

**We're looking forward to meeting you, but first you need to know**:
