Field Underwriting Specialist, Mid-Market

What it’s like to be a Federated Field Underwriting Specialist

Federated Underwriters customize solutions for our commercial clients when they need insurance products. They work closely with our sales team to develop unique solutions for all classes of risk. The Underwriting Specialist will be solving complex underwriting challenges using a broad perspective to identify solutions.
Our Underwriting Specialists are experts in their field and passionate about maintaining strong relationships with our sales team - this means emails and phone calls don't go unanswered, and in-person meetings are regularly penned into their calendars. Working in a collaborative team, there is the opportunity for coaching, mentoring and development from our more experienced underwriters to help grow your appetite of risks.
We want your talent!

We’re committed to pay transparency and fairness. The base salary range for this role is $92,000 - $138,000, which reflects the expected base pay – not the total compensation package. The actual base salary may vary depending on your experience, skills, and alignment with the position. We’re also open to candidates at different levels, so if this range doesn’t quite match your expectations, don’t let that hold you back — we’d still love to hear from you.

This is a real opportunity — we’re actively hiring! If the role sounds like a good fit, we encourage you to apply. Beyond base pay, we offer a robust Total Rewards program that includes benefits, wellness support, and other meaningful perks.

We also want to be transparent about our hiring process. While one of our systems includes AI capabilities, over 99% of our screening is done by real people. We believe in thoughtful, human-centered hiring decisions, and are committed to giving every application the attention it deserves.
