About the role

First American is seeking a Commercial Underwriting Counsel for a hybrid role in Madison/Milwaukee, WI, or remote. You will support underwriting decisions, counsel internal teams and clients on title insurance commitments and policies, and apply real estate law knowledge to complex transactions. Ideal candidates have 5–7 years of title underwriting experience, a law degree, and active licensure. Strong analytical and negotiation skills, plus collaboration and clear communication, are essential

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
