Partnerships and partner channels are expected to be key growth areas for If. We are therefore looking for an Enterprise Architect who can bring an end-to-end IT and architecture perspective into early deal shaping, partner offering design, and the development of scalable partner channel architecture.
As Enterprise Architect, Partnerships & New Business Opportunities, you support partner sales, bid, and deal-shaping activities with an overall IT perspective. You help ensure that partner offerings are feasible, scalable, and aligned across product & price, core systems, digital channels, APIs, data, and architecture.
This is a new and entrepreneurial role where you will work close to business growth and partner strategy, while also helping If build reusable architecture patterns, APIs, guiding principles, and common ways of working for partner solutions. You will be an early architecture sparring partner for business stakeholders and help create clarity before decisions are locked.

About the team
You will join If’s Enterprise Architecture unit, a team of six persons, setting common direction and supporting sustainable, secure, and reusable architecture across If.

You will work closely with Product & Price, Core Systems, Digital Channels, APIs, Data, and relevant management forums to bridge partner business development and IT architecture.
You are comfortable getting involved early and contributing to shaping direction before key decisions are made. Explaining trade-offs clearly comes naturally, and you collaborate effectively with both business and IT stakeholders. You thrive in environments where ways of working are still evolving, and where you help build structure while maintaining momentum. With a strong commercial mindset, you balance architectural quality with speed, growth, and delivery.
