How to switch apple id on iphone 13 pro max without losing anything

I bought another iphone to use for work to keep my personal and work calls, contacts, photos and all data separate. How do I switch my apple id on the work phone (I used my personal apple id when I set up the new phone) from my personal apple id so I can keep the work phone backed up and not add the work data to my personal phone?

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 18

If you want to retain some data, instead sign out of the current ID on the iPhone as below. It will ask you if you wish to retain data. Say no the ones you do not want. Then sign in with your other account.
