Is this a full-time role, and what type of contract does Zurich Insurance (sede Ticino) offer?
This listing is a full-time position.

Do I need the G permit to apply for this role in Ticino as an Italian cross-border worker?
Yes, if you are resident in Italy within the 20 km border zone.

Weekly return to your Italian home is required to keep the status.
