The Opportunity
Are you looking for a caring, collaborative, values-driven workplace with inspiring teammates and leaders? Do you have the ambition and desire to be the best and thrive at the most impactful global insurance provider in the world? Look no further than Zurich Canada.
If you have experience in underwriting—particularly within sustainability or transition risk—and are looking for a new challenge, we would love to hear from you.
Zurich Canada is seeking a sustainability subject matter expert with a robust background in underwriting. The ideal candidate will possess a unique blend of engineering expertise and proven underwriting experience, complemented by strong project management and risk assessment capabilities. Your underwriting acumen will be instrumental in evaluating the risks associated with new technologies and infrastructure development, as well as in developing and implementing sustainability engagement plans.
Reporting to the Chief Underwriting Officer, you will be expected to apply your underwriting knowledge to all aspects of the role, from risk assessment to stakeholder engagement. You should demonstrate an in-depth understanding of financial governance across multiple jurisdictions and possess the ability to interpret and respond to human behavioral cues effectively.
This is a unique opportunity for an underwriter to further build expertise in sustainability and transition risk, in a supportive environment where your voice matters.
This is a hybrid work opportunity.
