Tips for Your Head of Insurance Job Search
Quantify your book of business
Hiring managers for head of insurance roles want to see premium volume managed, combined ratios improved, or loss ratios reduced on your resume. Replace vague descriptions of oversight with specific outcomes tied to your portfolio or department.
Align your licenses to each listing
Many postings specify state licenses or lines of authority, such as property and casualty or life and health. Check which states and lines the role requires and list your active licenses prominently so screeners don't have to dig for them.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists head of insurance openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target your resume to carrier versus broker roles
Carrier-side roles prioritize underwriting profitability and product management, while broker-side roles weight client retention and producer relationships. Tailor your summary and bullet points to reflect the right emphasis before applying.
Prepare a claims or underwriting portfolio narrative
Interviewers at the head of insurance level typically ask you to walk through a major strategic decision, such as exiting a line, repricing a book, or restructuring a claims operation. Prepare a concise story with the context, your decision, and the measurable result.
Negotiate total compensation, not just base salary
Head of insurance offers often include production bonuses, profit-sharing tied to combined ratios, or long-term incentive plans. Ask specifically about each component during negotiations so you understand what drives variability in your total package.
Head of Insurance Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most head of insurances?
The companies hiring the most head of insurances right now include National Life, BRAIN, and PEAK6, with the largest share of openings in Texas, New York, and Georgia, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand is especially concentrated at regional carriers, national brokerages, and large self-insured employers building out in-house insurance functions.
How many head of insurance jobs are remote?
About 100% of head of insurance openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with remote arrangements most common in roles focused on program management, compliance oversight, and insurance operations rather than those requiring direct carrier or regulator relationships that favor in-person presence.
How do you become a head of insurance?
Start by building deep expertise in one line, such as commercial property, casualty, or employee benefits, and earn a professional designation like the CPCU or ARM. Progress through underwriting, claims, or operations management roles, taking on cross-functional projects to develop leadership breadth. Most heads of insurance also obtain multi-state licenses and gain exposure to regulatory compliance and product strategy before stepping into the top role.
Can you get a head of insurance job with limited leadership experience?
Moving directly into a head of insurance role with no prior management experience is uncommon, but candidates who have led a team informally, managed a book of business, or owned a major departmental initiative can make a strong case. Focus your application on outcomes you drove independently and any experience you have coordinating across underwriting, claims, and compliance functions, even without a formal management title.
What does the head of insurance interview process look like?
The process typically begins with a recruiter or HR screen focused on your background and license status, followed by a panel interview with senior leadership covering strategic decision-making and financial oversight experience. Expect at least one case-style discussion where you walk through how you would handle a loss ratio problem, a market withdrawal, or a team restructure. Final rounds often include a conversation with the CFO or CEO.
Where can I find and apply to head of insurance jobs?
You can find and apply to head of insurance jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the roles available, find the ones that match your background and target market, and apply directly to each listing that fits.
