Job description

Health can’t wait.

Not for symptoms to get worse. Not for a six‑month appointment. Not for a system to catch up. But that’s exactly how healthcare works today. You wait, until you can’t.

Alan exists to end the wait.

Health is a universal right, and we believe this right can only become real when it’s coupled with prevention. We need to stop treating health as something we repair and start treating it as something we build, every day. It’s not solely a question of willpower. It’s the healthcare system itself that needs to work for everyone, in a sustainable way.

So we are building the new standard in prevention insurance.

We are on an incredible journey to build a global leading company, with a unique culture. We already partner with 40K+ companies of all sizes, serving more than 1M+ members, and have reached €800M+ in ARR.

Prevention as the new norm. That’s what we’re building with our team of 1000+ people. If it speaks to you: we’re hiring across France, Spain, Belgium, and Canada. And beyond.

Context of the role

You will be part of the Business Strategy & Operations (BSO) team, whose goal is to

• Define an ambitious strategy to achieve our business objectives and translate this into an actionable plan


• Monitor and explain our performance towards our business objectives


• Enable our Sales and Account Management teams to achieve these business objectives and become the most effective commercial teams in the tech industry (i.e., Sales and AM effectiveness, tools, analytics and training)

Across all these areas we work very closely with the Senior Leadership, the Sales, Account Management and Go-to-Market teams. The scope is Global (France, Belgium, Spain and Canada for the time being).

• Management consulting, investment banking or private equity

Critical thinking and problem solving skills:

• Ability to deal effectively with ambiguity, bringing structure to ambiguous areas of opportunity


• Deep analytical rigour, bringing clarity on complex topics through deep insights


• Great Excel skills and moderate SQL knowledge. Experience with AI tools and building moderate to complex flows.


• Ability to handle workload & short turnaround time, with a high degree of adaptability and flexibility, when some topics are top priority for the company

Business sense:

• At ease with B2B operational and financial metrics


• Passion for getting close to the business and Sales/Marketing teams and understanding the operational details of their work, not just the strategic ones

Communication and presence:

• Ability to communicate effectively with senior leadership and align multiple stakeholders in a collaborative way


• Ability to build successful relationships with a broad range of stakeholders across Sales, Marketing, Product and Finance and be seen as a trusted contributor/advisor


• Ability to work well under pressure, with a high degree of adaptability and flexibility


• Great written and oral structure and communication
