About The Position

At Amwins, we’re not just developing underwriters — we’re building elite sales professionals. Our Underwriter Development Program (UDP) at Amwins Access is a 2.5-year intensive training track designed to fast-track your career as a Production Underwriter — a role that combines strategic sales with technical underwriting. This role is not a traditional underwriting position — it is a highly sales-driven role where you will be measured on performance metrics, build and manage your own profitable book of business, and take ownership of sourcing and developing new opportunities to underwrite throughout the program. If you're entrepreneurial, thrive in a competitive environment, and want a career where your effort drives your income, this is your runway. Please note that this position will have two start dates: April & June 2027.
