Who we are
You. Better. With Alan.
Alan's vision is to make prevention the new norm of care for all. Our mission is to 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.
We're building a vertically integrated health partner that seamlessly unites insurance and smart healthcare delivery into one system.
By connecting all aspects of care - private, public, and direct to consumer - we create the most member-centric healthcare experience. Through deep engagement, we empower everyone to overcome day-to-day health obstacles and live healthier lives.
We partner with 32,000+ companies of all sizes, serving more than 700K members, and have reached €500M+ in ARR.
Our team of 600 people (still growing) operates across France , Spain , Belgium , and Canada .
How we do it ?
People joining Alan are always surprised and delighted by our innovative working method. We have a set of cultural values that guide our approach to work, such as:
Members first. We put our members first, our team second, our shareholders third.
Radical Transparency. We make all choices in writing and adopt a direct and honest style of communication.
Personal & Team Growth. We are self-improving whilst helping others grow. We’re no ego-doers and we all edit the company.
Distributed Ownership. We trust our colleagues to make the right choices. We are not afraid to fail fast individually to learn collectively in the long run.
Fearless ambition. We shoot for the moon and work backwards. We focus on solving complex problems with simple principles far from ready made ideas. We embrace AI to increase our productivity and be at the forefront of technological changes.

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 analyze and evaluate a problem or issue, and problem-solve including simulating possible outcomes.
Versatility and education: given the scope of work, FAs should be able to jump from one topic to another with a similar impact.
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.- Influential communication: given the number of Alaners FAs interact with on a daily basis, the ability to effectively cause both understanding and action in others without the use of direct power is essential.
'Business’ and technical 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 usually make correct decisions, even in the presence of ambiguity, is paramount.
Fluency in spoken and written English. All our communications are written and in English.
French fluency preferred but not required.
