Description du poste

Business Segment Lead role

At Alan, we split the French market in several business segments, each of them corresponding to a category of clients (whether by size, or industry).

The role of a Business Segment Lead is to reach market leadership in their given segment. To succeed, you will have to (1) articulate a vision for your segment, (2) define priorities and resources to deliver, and (3) make strategic decisions for your segment based on market insights.

The Business Segment Lead role is made for transversal influence as we operate based on distributed ownership. You will work closely with all teams involved in the success of your segment (Product, Insurance, Sales, Marketing). You will also collaborate with other segment leaders to build‑up knowledge, share best practices, and create alignment around a long‑term value plan.

• Market intelligence: You’ll build expertise on our market and competitive landscape. You’ll work both on the quantitative side (sizing) and the qualitative side (customers’ pain points and needs).
• Value proposition and pricing : Our goal is to differentiate our offer from the market. You’ll relentlessly ask yourself: what is the best product offering to become leader in this segment?
• Go-to-Market strategy: You’ll work both on renewal (account management) and expansion strategy (business development). This will require you to adapt and innovate when it comes to distribution channels, sub-segments, and partners management.
• P&L ownership & Resources allocation: You’ll own the return on investment of your segment and are in charge of building the case for internal resources allocation based on your P&L.
• Product trade-off: You’ll work together with product teams in order for us to build the best product based on market insights.
