Help Shape the Future of Security Architecture at If

AI and emerging technologies are becoming an increasingly important part of how we develop our business and digital solutions at If. They create new opportunities for our customers and employees, but they also introduce new challenges and responsibilities when it comes to security. That is why we are looking for a Security Architect who wants to help ensure that new technologies are implemented in a secure and responsible way.

At If, we see security as an enabler of innovation. Our role is not to slow down development, but to help the organization make informed decisions and build solutions that support the business while protecting our customers, data, and services.

About the role

You will join the Security Engineering team within IT Security, responsible for Security Architecture, Application Security, and the Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC) across If.

We work closely with Enterprise Architecture, development and platform teams, our AI Centre of Excellence, and a wide range of business areas. Our ambition is to bring security into technology, product, and solution decisions early, making it a natural part of the development process.

At the same time, we are on an exciting journey to strengthen the role of Security Architecture as a strategic partner to Enterprise Architecture, technology teams, and the business. As a Security Architect, you will have the opportunity to help shape that development.

AI security will be an important focus area in the role, but you will also work broadly across security architecture. You will act as a trusted advisor when new solutions are designed and implemented, helping to ensure that security is considered from the very beginning.

You will collaborate with architects, developers, risk and privacy specialists, and other key stakeholders across the organization to translate security requirements and principles into practical solutions that create real business value.

What you will be working with:

• Secure AI and emerging technologies: You will help the organization leverage new technological opportunities in a secure and responsible way through advisory work, security architecture, and risk assessments.
• Advise and collaborate across If: You will work closely with business units, development teams, architects, and specialists to translate security requirements into practical and usable solutions.

Develop the future of Security Architecture and Security by Design: You will contribute to security principles, architecture guidance, and security frameworks within areas such as AI, cloud, software development, and software supply chain security.

We offer

While we set high expectations for you as an employee, we also expect you to set high expectations for us as your employer. Here are some of the benefits of working at If:

• An including work environment where everyone is welcome
• Career and development opportunities in the biggest insurance company in the Nordics
• Social activities, as well as highly skilled professional environment
• Possibility of a hybrid workplace
• A health-promoting workplace with e.g., fitness programs and various sports activities
• Attractive insurance benefits and pension

At If, we believe in the value of collaboration, knowledge sharing, and building relationships across teams. Therefore, we work according to our Workplace Guidelines, which require employees to work from the office at least three days per week. At the same time, we offer flexibility and the opportunity to balance office collaboration with focused work from home. We also offer a work culture characterized by trust, helpfulness, and a strong sense of community

About the team

At If, you will become part of a highly skilled professional environment where collaboration, development, and knowledge sharing are a natural part of everyday work. We believe the best results are achieved when talented people work together across teams and disciplines, and where security, technology, and business are developed in close partnership.

You will have opportunities to grow both professionally and personally through exciting challenges, continuous learning, competency development, and collaboration with some of the leading technology and security specialists in the Nordic region

Who are you?

What matters most to us is that you are curious, collaborative, and motivated by understanding new technologies and complex challenges.

You enjoy working with people from different backgrounds and disciplines and have a natural ability to build relationships and trust. You can bridge the gap between security, technology, and business and translate complex security challenges into recommendations and solutions that others can understand and act upon.

You are not afraid to ask questions, challenge established approaches, and help the organization make sound decisions. At the same time, you are a strong communicator who can bring different perspectives together and create a shared direction.

You may have a background as a Security Architect, Application Security Specialist, Cloud Security Specialist, or another security-related role. Your title is less important than your ability to combine expertise, curiosity, and collaboration.

Experience within areas such as AI Security, Cloud Security, Application Security, DevSecOps, or Supply Chain Security is an advantage. Familiarity with frameworks such as SABSA, NIST, or ISO 27001 can also be relevant. Most importantly, however, is your willingness to learn and develop, which we value just as highly as specific experience or certifications.
