Underwriter CV template.
An underwriter CV needs to prove that you can judge risk accurately while keeping business moving. Employers want evidence of sound decisions, clean documentation, and the ability to work with brokers, actuaries, claims teams, or loan officers without creating avoidable exposure.
Writing a strong Underwriter CV
Hiring managers reviewing an underwriter CV look for more than general analytical ability. They want to see the lines of business you have handled, such as commercial property, casualty, life, mortgage, marine, cyber, or personal lines, along with your authority limits, referral procedures, loss ratio awareness, and pricing discipline. Include platforms such as Guidewire, Duck Creek, Applied Epic, Salesforce, Moody’s, RMS, AIR, Encompass, or proprietary rating engines where relevant. Strong CVs also mention file audits, policy endorsements, ACORD forms, credit analysis, reinsurance considerations, compliance checks, and collaboration with brokers or producers.
Three things that matter most
- State your underwriting authority and the size or type of risks you assess, such as SME commercial packages, high-net-worth personal lines, mortgage applications, or complex property schedules.
- Show how you manage the full underwriting file, including submissions, risk surveys, loss runs, pricing rationale, endorsements, exclusions, referrals, and renewal reviews.
- Name the systems, rating tools, and data sources you use, because employers often screen for experience with platforms such as Guidewire, Duck Creek, ACORD documentation, RMS, AIR, or Encompass.
Skills hiring managers look for
Frequently asked
How do I write an underwriter CV with no direct underwriting experience?
Emphasise roles involving risk review, financial analysis, claims handling, insurance administration, lending support, or broker submissions. Show familiarity with policy documents, credit reports, loss histories, or compliance procedures. If you have completed insurance or finance qualifications, place them near the top of the CV.
What underwriting metrics should I include on my CV?
Use metrics that reflect the work you actually owned, such as renewal volume, authority level, average premium size, submission turnaround time, audit results, retention rate, or loss ratio by portfolio. Avoid disclosing confidential pricing models or client details. Frame numbers around your book of business, file quality, or decision-making scope.
Should an underwriter CV be tailored by insurance line or product type?
Yes, because property, casualty, life, mortgage, cyber, and specialty underwriting rely on different evidence and terminology. A commercial property role may require CAT modelling, COPE data, and risk engineering reports, while mortgage underwriting may focus on income verification, credit analysis, LTV, DTI, and investor guidelines. Match your CV language to the product line in the job advert.
