About the role
Launch Your Sales and Underwriting Career with Amwins
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.
Entrepreneurial? Thrive in a competitive environment? Want your effort to drive income? This is your runway.

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.
