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

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.
