Insurance Underwriting Jobs

January 18, 2023

NIA has underwriting jobs available for both experienced underwriters and college graduates that want to change the world.


Gig economy got you down? Tired of wondering if your CEO’s oversized ego is risking your job? Want to do work that makes a difference, right here in Santa Cruz, or working from your home anywhere in the country?

Then a career as an underwriter with Nonprofits Insurance Alliance (NIA) could be an excellent fit for you!

Whether you’re a professional looking for your next big career move or a recent college graduate ready to make your mark on the world, NIA is looking for friendly, detail-oriented people to join its growing team of talented underwriters.

As part of this growing team, you’ll enjoy good pay and great benefits, along with the knowledge that you’ll be working to uplift communities — and not some billionaire’s bank account.

What is Nonprofits Insurance Alliance?

NIA is a group of nonprofit insurance carriers who collectively provide needed insurance coverage to more than 24,000 nonprofit organizations — of all sizes and missions.

Are You an Experienced Underwriter?

If you’ve had experience working for a commercial insurance carrier, you’ve seen first-hand how business practices designed to maximize profits and satisfy stockholders can negatively impact your most vulnerable clients.

With NIA, you’ll be encouraged to use your skill and experience to expertly evaluate the risk posed by each organization and figure out how to offer them the coverage they need for their work in their communities.

See open positions at NIA, or see how a career at NIA benefits you, and the world.

Underwriting is “A Much Different Experience…”

“I love the fact that while the underwriting process is similar, the mindset is different. We need to make good underwriting decisions for the benefit our members. In the past, while underwriting for commercial carriers, decisions were focused on shareholders and target returns.

It is refreshing that our underwriting goals are in alignment with the nonprofits we serve.”

— Brian Scheer, Underwriting Manager

“After working for almost 20 years with various commercial carriers that provided insurance coverage for nonprofit risks, one would think it’s all the same. Working at NIA has proven this is not the case — it has been a much different experience. NIA embodies their “heart for nonprofits” mission. Every day, I am in awe of the approach that we take when reviewing our submission and renewals.

‘How can we find a way to provide coverage for this nonprofit?’ — I must admit, I had never asked myself that question in my prior life.

At NIA, we try to do what’s best for the nonprofit, rather than ask how much premium we can charge.

It has been quite the mind shift since I started here, but it has also been a fulfilling experience where, at the end of the day, I feel like I have made a difference to those who really need it.”

— Simone Brewster, Underwriting Manager

I’m New — What Does an Underwriter Do?

NIA underwriters work closely with brokers across the country, guiding them through each step of the process to secure the insurance their nonprofit clients need to serve their communities.

As an underwriter, your eagle eyes will look at all aspects of a nonprofit organization — its staff, its mission, its budget, its policies, its property, and even its location — as you work to evaluate their unique insurance exposures and help determine premiums and customized coverages that are designed to fit.

Quality Underwriter Training Provided

If you’re new to the idea of being an underwriter — no worries! Even if your experience level is “a fresh college degree and a positive attitude,” NIA might be the place for you to start to learn the business.
