Underwriter Jobs in Georgia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become an underwriter in Georgia?
The path depends on the line of business. Insurance underwriters in Georgia who make binding coverage decisions typically need a Georgia Department of Insurance license, either property and casualty or life and health, obtained through the Commissioner of Insurance by passing the relevant state exam. Mortgage underwriters follow federal guidelines rather than a state license. Most employers expect a bachelor's degree in finance, business, or economics, and many new hires begin in underwriting assistant or analyst roles before advancing.
How much do underwriters make in Georgia?
Underwriters in Georgia earn a median of about $85,980 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $61,160 for the lowest 10% to over $165,910 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire underwriters in Georgia?
Employers hiring underwriters in Georgia right now include Liberty Mutual Insurance, The Hartford, and Elevance Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Georgia's concentration of Fortune 500 financial services and insurance headquarters in the Atlanta metro means a steady pipeline of openings across commercial, personal lines, and specialty underwriting.
Which Georgia cities have the most underwriter jobs?
Atlanta, Alpharetta, and Georgia account for the largest share of underwriter openings in Georgia. Atlanta drives the majority of volume as home to major insurance carriers, mortgage servicers, and regional banks, while Alpharetta's financial technology corridor and Savannah's growing commercial lending activity push meaningful demand outside the core metro.
Are there remote underwriter jobs in Georgia?
Yes, and more than most fields. Underwriting is a desk-based, analytical role that translates well to remote and hybrid arrangements. About 90% of underwriter openings tied to Georgia are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the broader shift among insurers and lenders toward distributed teams. Mortgage and commercial lines underwriting tend to have the highest proportion of fully remote postings.
How can I get hired as an underwriter in Georgia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry point is an underwriting assistant or analyst role, which large Georgia-based carriers and lenders post regularly to build junior pipelines. Companies such as Assurant and Truist Financial hire candidates from adjacent roles like loan processor, claims examiner, or insurance customer service representative. Completing the Georgia Department of Insurance licensing exam before applying signals commitment and gives candidates a concrete edge.
