Let’s care for tomorrow. 

Your ambitions.  Your dreams.  Your tomorrow 

Whether it’s aircraft, international business or offshore wind parks, Allianz Commercial has an extensive range of risks covered when it comes to protecting businesses.   

 

We are looking for a Senior Business Architect (m/f/d), based in Munich (DE).   

 

Your Team   

Our team is committed to shift Allianz Commercial from strategizing and planning with an initiative mindset to a capability and end-to-end value delivery mindset. This is a game changer and opens new conversations about priorities, collaboration, and ownership across organizational silos and initiatives. We thoroughly enjoy the work we do and the impact it has, closely collaborating with strategic initiative owners, other architecture practices as well as portfolio management. We are looking for someone who enjoys to connecting the dots every day.   

 

The Impact You Will Have  

Reporting to the Head of Business Architecture, you will be directly involved in strategic initiatives and/or cross-portfolio work with Allianz Commercial. You will build frameworks that simplify complex business areas and create shared view of what we do and how we deliver value to our customers. Your work will ensure that Allianz Commercial’s transformation efforts are directed at doing the right things towards the target picture.  

It is a great time to join the team as we keep improving the practice and adding focus fields. You will choose your focus field(s) to mature our service offering, which may be our knowledge base, collaboration frameworks, additional core dimensions of business architecture like information or organization, and other fields to mature. 

 

Some of your specific responsibilities could include:  

  • Working with stakeholders designing the future business architecture and operating model in terms of how products and propositions, customer channels, people, processes and technology interact 

  • Supporting strategic decision making by consulting on technical, operational, and business dimensions, to clarify the business and operational implications of change  

  • Driving business transformation by supporting major strategic initiatives with their visioning and scoping towards the target business architecture  

  • Partnering with portfolio management, enterprise architecture, business owners and initiative owners to ensure alignment of the portfolio of change to strategic priorities and the future business & operating model  

  • Supporting the development, maintenance and curation of business architecture assets and artefacts  

  • Promoting the value of business architecture in the strategy to execution lifecycle  

  • Developing the business architecture practice at Allianz Commercial further  

 

What You’ll Bring to the Role  

  • Solid business experience in Industrial / Corporate Insurance, preferably with a solid track record in Transformation, or a business unit such as Underwriting and/or Market Management  

  • Experience of working in a business architecture role with relevant business and operating model design experience  

  • Advanced understanding of the interplay between business capabilities, value streams and operating models  

  • A recognized qualification in Business Architecture (such as certification from the Business Architecture Guild) is beneficial - otherwise strong commitment to continuous learning and growth within architecture field essential  

  • Understanding for the interplay between Enterprise Architecture domains including business, data, application, technology architecture  

  • Solid strategic and conceptual thinking, ability to design solutions to complex problems based on business knowledge and customer centricity – from big picture down to a detailed view  

  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to relate, partner, and collaborate across the business and all levels of stakeholders with a proactive and collaborative style of working  

  • A quick learner with excellent time management and organization skills, with the ability to manage multiple competing priorities  

  • Can-do attitude with entrepreneurial thinking and the ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic and international environment 

  • Ability to lead/influence others without authority 

  • Experience in applying artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to improve business processes and decision-making is highly beneficial.  

  • Fluent English skills are required. Additional language is a plus.
