Finance & Strategy

Company Overview

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. We 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.

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.

Core responsibilities of the Finance & Strategy community

• Strategy & Planning: steers Alan’s financial performance through business planning, financial and operational monitoring, investor relations, financing and M&A
• 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) 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

Your mission

We are looking for a forward‑thinking, experienced finance professional to own the financial controlling of Alan’s international entities.

You will be part of our Financial Controlling team: the feedback engine of our finance system. Your job is to own the numbers. You are not just reporting figures – you are the person who truly understands what they mean and drives action from them.

A key part of this role will be to define and structure the working model with local accountants in each international entity – monitoring and challenging their output, and ensuring full consistency between local accounting and our central production scope.

You will work in full autonomy, in close collaboration with our Financial Data, Finance Strategy, and operational teams, serving as the bridge between financial figures and the business.

What you will do

The goal is to build the financial controlling function in France. That means defining what dashboards you need & writing the specs to drive automation. You will play a central role in setting up Alan’s financial infrastructure in existing and new markets as we expand.

This is a rare opportunity to shape how financial controlling works at a fast‑scaling company by:

• Owning the financial reporting of your entities, including monthly P&L and Balance Sheet reviews, variance analysis, commentary and audit readiness.
• Ensuring figures are accurate, well‑documented and always ready for scrutiny – you will own the organization of the finance function in these subsidiaries and the financial integration of potential acquired companies.
• Structuring and managing relationships with local accounting firms by defining the working model in each country (monitoring and challenging their output) and ensuring full consistency with Alan’s central reporting scope.
• Challenging, improving and automating financial processes, from writing controlling specifications for our Financial Data team to identifying improvement points in the monthly reporting cycle and driving concrete improvements.
• Partnering with cross‑functional teams to ensure financial data is well understood and leveraged for decision‑making, and owning specific financial streams transversally across geographies.
• Contributing to scaling the team, including participating in hiring and onboarding future team members.

Qualifications

• Financial expertise: At least 5 years of experience in accounting and how financial statements work across multiple entities or geographies; proven experience coordinating external accounting firms and/or overseeing multi‑country financial reporting; background in a top audit firm and/or a fast‑paced scale‑up. Familiarity with consolidation and financial services are a bonus.
• Languages: Fluent in English; additional European language(s) are a strong plus.
• Analytical mindset: Strong analytical skills with the ability to synthesize complex information and communicate it clearly to non‑finance stakeholders. Basic SQL or AI tools knowledge is a bonus.
• Soft skills: Rigorous, autonomous, proactive and solution‑oriented. Strong communicator with both internal teams and external partners. Strong ability to work autonomously, move forward independently and make clear decisions even in ambiguous situations.
• Familiarity with insurance accounting or regulated financial entities is a strong plus.

For this role we are looking to hire within the C1‑D level range.

How we work

• Location: You must be legally eligible to work from France.
• Remote work: We offer remote work flexibility, but we value in‑person collaboration.

Important note: we hire people, not roles.
