Job description

Finance community at Alan

Finance & Strategy exists to enable better decisions, faster, at every level of the company, in a regulated, diverse and ever changing business.

We succeed when ambitious goals become credible plans, when strategic bets are grounded in financial reality, and when the entire company (not just Finance!) speaks the language of performance.

We set the right ambition, we monitor whether we're getting there, and we raise our hand when something needs to change.

We are not record-keepers. We are builders, partners, and challengers. We are looking for people who want to build, support decision making processes and challenge the status quo.

• Strategy & Planning: steer Alan's financial performance through business planning, financial and operational monitoring, investor relations and financing
• Financial Reporting: is the steward of Alan's financial truth, ensuring that we produce accurate, timely financial data. It owns the reporting to all key stakeholders (board, leadership team, tax authorities, and regulators like the ACPR) and ensures that financial data is the single, uncontested source of truth for the company's performance.
• Finance Data and Operations: Build and own the core finance data and tooling infrastructure (models, pipelines, and concepts that connect business operations to financial reality). This is where Finance meets product thinking
• Functional poles with end-to-end ownership of their domain: Treasury, Procurement, M&A

Your mission

• Build our business plan to exponentially increase Alan's enterprise value - profitable growth, margin expansion, cost efficiency. This includes deep-dives on go-to-market, on pricing & margin steering, on resource allocation, and on levers to increase our operating leverage.

• Steer performance through framing and implementing high-impact initiatives (e.g. procurement tool, pricing) and driving some punctual explorations (e.g. M&A, transformative partnerships, competitive intelligence)
• Contribute to our investors relations and financing. This includes preparing Board meetings, fundraising, external communications.
• To support the above, you will build , improve , maintain best-in-class tools for financial planning and performance monitoring, hand-in-hand with the Data, Business and Finance teams. This includes BP, monitoring dashboards, selection and implementation of third party tools where relevant.
• You will also work closely with the Finance Operations teams , notably to produce and interpret our monthly financial performance, and on specific projects.
