Underwriter Jobs in Maryland: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a underwriter in Maryland?
Most underwriters in Maryland start with a bachelor's degree in finance, business, economics, or a related field, then enter the industry through an underwriting trainee or analyst role at an insurer, bank, or specialty firm. Property and casualty or life and health underwriters working on licensed lines must hold the appropriate Maryland insurance producer or underwriter license issued through the Maryland Insurance Administration. Many candidates pursue the CPCU or AU designation through the Institutes to advance into commercial or specialty underwriting.
How much do underwriters make in Maryland?
Underwriters in Maryland earn a median of about $92,120 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $59,520 for the lowest 10% to over $152,690 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire underwriters in Maryland?
Maryland underwriter roles are posted by Allianz, Jobot, and Tokio Marine HCC and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Maryland's concentration of health insurers, mortgage lenders, and federal government contractors in the Baltimore-Washington corridor makes it one of the more active mid-Atlantic states for underwriting talent.
Which Maryland cities have the most underwriter jobs?
Baltimore, Hunt Valley, and Frederick have the most underwriter openings in Maryland. Baltimore anchors the market through its large health insurance carriers and financial institutions, while Annapolis draws openings tied to state-regulated insurance activity, and the Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C., including Bethesda and Rockville, attract mortgage and government-related underwriting roles from employers serving the federal corridor.
Are there remote underwriter jobs in Maryland?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 93% of underwriter openings tied to Maryland are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how desk-based and document-driven the work is by nature. Commercial lines, mortgage, and health underwriting roles tend to offer the most remote flexibility, while positions requiring in-person broker or agent relationship management are more likely to require some on-site presence.
How can I get hired as a underwriter in Maryland with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is an underwriting assistant or underwriting trainee role, which large Maryland-based insurers like CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield and regional commercial carriers post regularly for candidates without direct underwriting experience. Adjacent roles in claims, insurance customer service, or loan processing at Maryland banks and mortgage companies are a recognized stepping stone. Earning a Maryland insurance producer license before applying, or beginning the AU designation through the Institutes, gives candidates a measurable edge over other applicants at the entry level.
Where can I find and apply to underwriter jobs in Maryland?
You can find and apply to underwriter jobs in Maryland on Migrate Mate, which lists current Maryland openings. Search the available roles, find the ones that match your background and specialty, and apply directly to the positions that fit.
