The Opportunity: 

Being a Group Auditor at Zurich means being part of a community of internal auditors with a common purpose: to keep Zurich safe.

Together, we look to bring our skills, capabilities and unique strengths to provide real insights to our stakeholders. We are working to be the best we can at spotting danger for our company; continuously trying, failing, and learning to get better and better in what we do. 

We are at the start of a journey to transform our way of working, to be more agile and fit for whatever the future brings, with increased autonomy and faster decision-making. We believe that a clear common purpose, promoting authenticity of individuals and creating a learning environment will help our teams bring their best. We can't promise it will always be an easy journey and it may feel uncomfortable at times, but it will be an authentic and fulfilling one.

Up for a challenge? Interested in being part of this?  We would love to hear from you!
 
This role is available part-time, job-share or full time. This is because we want the best people for our roles, and we recognise that sometimes those people aren’t available full-time.
