About the Company

At Transamerica, hard work, innovative thinking, and personal accountability are qualities we honor and reward.
We understand the potential of leveraging the talents of a diverse workforce.
We embrace an environment where employees enjoy a balance between their careers, families, communities, and personal interests.
We appreciate the uniqueness of a company where talented professionals work collaboratively in a positive environment — one focused on helping people look forward and plan for the best life possible while providing tools and solutions that make it easier to get there.
We believe everyone deserves to live their best life.
More than a century ago, we were among the first financial services companies in America to serve everyday people from all walks of life.
Today, we’re part of an international holding company, with millions of customers and thousands of employees worldwide.
Our insurance, retirement, and investment solutions help people make the most of what’s important to them.
We’re empowered by a vast agent network covering North America, with diversity to match.
Together with our nonprofit research institute and foundation, we tune in, step up, and are a force for good — for our customers and the communities where we live, work, and play.
United in our purpose, we help people create the financial freedom to live life on their terms.
Transamerica is organized into three distinct businesses: World Financial Group, Protection Solutions and Savings & Investments, and Financial Assets.
These are supported by Transamerica Corporate, which includes Finance, People and Places, General Counsel, Risk, Internal Audit, Strategy and Development, and Corporate Affairs.
Transamerica employs nearly 7,000 people.
It’s part of Aegon, an integrated, diversified, international financial services group serving approximately 23.9 million customers worldwide.
Aegon acquired the Transamerica business in 1999.
Since its start in 1844, Aegon has grown into an international company serving more than 23.9 million people across the globe.
It offers investment, protection, and retirement solutions, always with a clear purpose: Helping people live their best lives.
As a leading global investor and employer, the company seeks to have a positive impact by addressing critical environmental and societal issues, with a focus on climate change and inclusion and diversity.

Equal Opportunity

We believe our commitment to diversity and inclusion creates a work environment filled with exceptional individuals.
We’re thrilled to have been recognized for our efforts through the Human Rights Campaign Corporate Equality Index, Dave Thomas Adoption Friendly Advocate, and several Seramount lists, including the Inclusion Index, 100 Best Companies for Working Parents, Best Companies for Dads, and Top 75 Companies for Executive Women.
To foster a culture of inclusivity throughout our workforce, workplace, and marketplace, Transamerica offers a wide range of diversity and inclusion programs.
This includes our company-sponsored, employee-driven Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), which are formed around a shared interest or a common characteristic of diversity.
ERGs are open to all employees.
They provide a supportive environment to help us better appreciate our similarities and differences and understand how they benefit us all.
We believe our responsibilities extend beyond our corporate walls.
That's why we created the Aegon Transamerica Foundation in 1994.
Through a mix of financial grants and the volunteer efforts of our employees, the foundation supports nonprofit organizations focused on the things that matter most to our people in the communities where we live and work.
