Underwriting Jobs in Oregon

An Underwriter in the insurance industry is responsible for assessing risk and eligibility of potential clients. They play a key role by examining insurance applications and determining whether to provide insurance, and under what terms. Insurance underwriters use software to help analyze information and make decisions. They are essentially the ones who decide if an insurance company should take on a potential policyholder and how much premium to charge for taking on risk. This decision is made based on the potential client's risk profile, which is evaluated using technical data and statistical models.

Important skills for an insurance Underwriter include analytical skills, decision-making abilities, attention to detail, and good judgment. They must be able to process complex information and make sound decisions. To increase their competency and credibility in the industry, Underwriters can pursue professional certifications such as Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter (CPCU), Associate in Commercial Underwriting (ACU), or Associate in Personal Insurance (API). Prior to becoming an underwriter, individuals may have roles such as Insurance Agent, Claims Adjuster, or Risk Analyst. These roles provide valuable exposure and experience in the field of insurance which can be helpful in understanding the fundamentals of risk evaluation.
