Let’s create a brighter future together, let’s make a difference  

Work is something you do, not only somewhere you go. The way we work continues to evolve and at Zurich we are committed to creating ways of working that ensure you are helping to create a brighter future. 

As a Life Insurance Lawyer, you will provide in-house legal, regulatory and governance advice to Zurich’s businesses in Australia, with a particular focus on the Zurich life insurance business, to enable them to achieve their strategic and commercial goals, protect and preserve the company’s assets, and identify, manage, and mitigate legal, regulatory, and reputational risks.

You will use your knowledge of the Corporations Act, Insurance Contracts Act, Life Insurance Act, Superannuation Laws and other legislation relevant to a financial services business, to provide advice in relation to life insurance products, policy documents, agreements, incidents, breach reporting, and remediation. You will assist with regulatory dealings and investigations; review disclose material and evaluate litigation risks and exposures.

Zurich wants to attract the best talent, and we acknowledge that talent might not always be available full-time. Therefore, we will also consider part-time working arrangements for this role.

Please note this is a 12-month contract role.

Important to your success - let's grow together  

  • Recognised Australian legal qualifications and eligible to practice law in New South Wales.
  • 5+ years PQE experience across life insurance law, including financial services law more broadly, and general and commercial law disciplines.
  • Ability to receive instructions, analytically assess issues and communicate advice clearly and in a non-legalistic way.
  • Strong written communications skills and ability to produce a variety of documents that demonstrate command of language, clarity of thought, and orderliness of presentation.
  • Strong interpersonal skills with ability to build and maintain trustful, working relationships at all levels of the organisation; able to demonstrate professional and tactful customer relationship skills.

Belong. Zurich is here to support you 

There are so many reasons why Zurich is a great place to be, but here are just a few:

15 days personal/carer’s leave (empowering our people to manage their own wellbeing); Grow, and thrive in your career (we support and encourage it) with award winning training programs; Work with global, diverse, and inclusive teams; Explore your passions, fuel innovation, drive equity, collaborate and make a positive difference beyond your role; Access programs to stay healthy and feel healthier, AUD$295 new starter e-voucher for your WFH set up (flex work - hybrid working), and other great benefits through our Shine portal; Access to Family Care (parental leave); Volunteer; Work in our state-of-the-art Green Star rated offices (when you are in the office); and dress for your day. We also plant a tree for every new employee – one of many local initiatives driving our contribution to ambitious global sustainability targets…

…We could go on, but the main point is that Zurich is a great place to be, where you can truly belong and thrive. 

Zurich is an equal opportunity employer.  We are committed to ensuring that our recruitment process is fair and accessible for all candidates. If you require any special accommodations to participate in our recruitment process, we encourage you to please let us know at the time of your application.
