Description du poste

You. Better. With Alan.

Alan is building a vertically integrated health partner that unites insurance and smart healthcare delivery into one seamless system. Our vision is to make prevention the new norm of care for all.

Our mission: Help people live in good health to 100 while helping employers feel proud, turning health benefits from a cost centre into their most valuable investment.

By connecting all aspects of care (private, public, and direct to consumer) we create the most member-centric healthcare experience, reducing claims costs while generating new monetization opportunities.

We partner with tens of thousands of companies across France 🇫🇷, Spain 🇪🇸, Belgium 🇧🇪, and Canada 🇨🇦, serving over a million members.

How we work: our Leadership Principles

• Mission is the Boss — We think long-term and are methodical optimists who take risks, seeking our mission's success above all else.

• Distributed Ownership — Accountable enlightened despots: everyone owns their decisions and results.

• Radical Transparency — All information is accessible and written-first, so everyone can make the best decisions asynchronously.

• Always Growing — Direct, positive, and caring feedback, combined with self-growth ownership.

⭐ CEO Founder Associate Internship ⭐

The position is open for gap year or end-of-study interns starting from June 2026, for a six-month internship. It is not open to MBA students.

CEO Founder Associates support the CEO and Senior Alaners on top business priorities, such as unlocking new growth, driving alignment on strategy, building new processes internally and externally and building new products. This role offers a unique opportunity to work on a diverse range of strategic projects in a dynamic, innovative environment, gaining invaluable experience across multiple facets of the business.

You will be highly involved in key challenges for Alan, and will be asked to support high added value tasks for Alan.

As such, you can’t be exhaustive on the missions you will perform as a FA, as you can be asked to help on almost any subject.

Possible projects include:

• Strategy - Contribute to the strategic vision of the company, market analysis and competition, identify strategic business opportunities, perform business analyses and growth modelling

⭐ Profile & competencies ⭐

Skills

• Analytical sense and critical thinking: FAs have a lot of research and analysis to produce. This requires the ability to frame the right questions, objectively analyse and evaluate a problem, and problem-solve including simulating possible outcomes.

• Business’ and product sense: FAs often have to think at the company level, assessing what would be best for the business, and working on topics that have cross-cutting impacts. The ability to understand what can make a business great (product wise, commercially, in terms of image, etc.), and make correct decisions, even in the presence of ambiguity, is paramount.

• Execution and collaboration: given the scope, volume and timeline of work, the ability to direct people—including oneself—towards a particular objective that may require active orchestration is key.

• Versatility: given the scope of work, FAs should be able to jump from one topic to another with similar impact

• Organization, time management and autonomy: you are well-versed in missions requiring precision and reliability. You are able to manage a project from start to finish with minimal external assistance.

• Communicate effectively: given the number of Alaners that FAs interact with on a daily basis, the ability to communicate your specific needs (deadlines etc) and to inspire action in others is essential.

• Always looking for the extra-mile: as a FA, you will be expected to be able to deliver quickly and well on the tasks assigned to you, but also to be proactive in proposing new initiatives, going beyond the task assigned to you if you think it is necessary, as well as anticipating future needs to propose potential solutions?

• Growth mindset: you know how to ask for and receive feedback in order to grow as an FA in your early professional life.

• Fluency in spoken and written English. All our communications are written and in English.

• Technical aptitude: Familiarity and appetite for basic programming, experience with data analysis and/or product creation tools is a plus.

We welcome applications from candidates with diverse educational backgrounds, including but not limited to:

• Business schools (HEC, ESSEC, ESCP, LSE …)

• Engineering schools (Polytechnique, Mines Paris, Ecole des Ponts, CentraleSupelec, Imperial …)

• Data science or mathematics programs

• Other relevant fields or schools (Bocconi, Politecnico, TU Delft, UCL, Oxford, Cambridge)

Diplomas matter to an extent but if you don’t have one and have built a project or a company, we’d love to hear from you so please send your application!
