Entry Level Associate Underwriter Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level associate underwriter job?
Start by building foundational knowledge in risk assessment, insurance principles, or financial analysis through coursework, internships, or industry certifications like the CPCU or AU designation. Employers hiring at this level prioritize candidates who can demonstrate analytical thinking and attention to detail. A resume that highlights relevant internship projects, underwriting coursework, or exposure to insurance software gives you a clear edge over candidates with no industry context.
Which companies hire entry level associate underwriters?
Companies hiring entry level associate underwriters right now include Risksmith Insurance Services, Risksmith Insurance Services, and Delta Dental, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring tends to come from regional carriers, national insurance groups, and financial services firms that run structured underwriting training programs for new talent.
Are there remote entry level associate underwriter jobs?
Yes, though most entry level underwriting roles lean on-site for training reasons. About 3% of entry level associate underwriter openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, so options exist if flexibility matters to you.

Yes, many of these listings are new grad and junior roles that explicitly welcome recent graduates and candidates with little to no prior experience. A new grad-friendly posting typically welcomes zero to two years of experience, accepts internships or academic projects as qualifying background, and does not require prior underwriting decisions or a book of business.
Which industries hire the most entry level associate underwriters?
