Underwriter Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a underwriter in Florida?
Most underwriters in Florida start with a bachelor's degree in finance, business, or a related field and then obtain a Florida Department of Financial Services insurance license before or shortly after being hired. For property and casualty roles, the 2-20 General Lines Agent license is the most common requirement, while life and health underwriting calls for the 2-15 license. Many Florida employers provide study support and expect new hires to sit for the state exam within their first months on the job.
How much do underwriters make in Florida?
Underwriters in Florida earn a median of about $78,720 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $49,880 for the lowest 10% to over $134,850 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire underwriters in Florida?
Employers hiring underwriters in Florida right now include Risksmith Insurance Services, Burns & Wilcox, and The Hartford, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Florida's concentration of regional property carriers, national health insurers, and mortgage lenders means underwriting roles are spread across multiple sectors rather than dominated by a single industry.
Which Florida cities have the most underwriter jobs?
Tampa, Jacksonville, and Miami are the Florida cities with the most underwriter openings, reflecting the concentration of insurance carriers, corporate headquarters, and regional bank operations in those metros. Miami's role as a hub for international trade and health insurance and Jacksonville's large financial services sector are the main drivers, while Tampa draws openings from both regional carriers and national insurers with Gulf Coast exposure units.
Are there remote underwriter jobs in Florida?
Yes, and more than most fields, because underwriting is a desk-based analytical role that translates well to remote work. About 67% of underwriter openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, making it one of the more flexible roles in the insurance and financial services space. Commercial lines and specialty underwriting positions are the most likely to be fully remote, while roles that require close collaboration with agents or loan officers tend to stay hybrid.
How can I get hired as a underwriter in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for underwriting assistant or underwriting technician roles at Florida-based regional carriers, where companies like Heritage Insurance or Citizens Property Insurance Corporation regularly bring in candidates without full underwriting experience and train them on the job. A Florida insurance license, even if obtained independently before applying, signals commitment and shortens the time to productivity. Lateral moves from claims adjusting, mortgage processing, or insurance customer service are common stepping stones that Florida hiring managers recognize as genuine underwriting preparation.
Where can I find and apply to underwriter jobs in Florida?
You can find and apply to underwriter jobs in Florida on Migrate Mate, which lists current Florida openings across property and casualty, health, and mortgage underwriting. Find the roles that fit your experience and specialty and apply directly to the employers posting them.
