Questions about this listing
What salary does Zurich Insurance (sede Ticino) offer for this role?
Zurich Insurance (sede Ticino) lists CHF 95'000 - 132'500 gross per year for this position in Lugano. This is the salary published in the original listing (or, when the employer omits a figure, a realistic estimate for the role and sector) — the calculator on this site converts it to your actual net take-home once cross-border tax and social contributions are applied.
Is this a full-time role, and what type of contract does Zurich Insurance (sede Ticino) offer?
This listing is a contractor/freelance position. The contract type shown here comes directly from the employer's original posting; always confirm exact hours, notice period and probation length with Zurich Insurance (sede Ticino) during the application process, since these details can vary by role even within the same contract category.
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. The Swiss employer files the G-permit application at the Ticino cantonal migration office after the contract is signed — first issuance takes 2-6 weeks, then automatic yearly renewal for as long as the employment continues. Weekly return to your Italian home is required to keep the status. Note: this listing allows remote work — teleworking above 25 % of your time can shift your social-security base to Italy, so confirm the agreed remote share with HR before signing.
