What the job involves
- 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
- The core responsibilities of the Finance & Strategy community are:
- 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 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
- We are looking for a forward-thinking, experienced finance professional to own the financial controlling of Alan's French entities
- You will be part of our Financial Controlling team, within Financial Reporting - 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
- 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
- The goal is to build the financial controlling function in France. That means defining what dashboards you need & writing the specs to drive automation
- 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
- 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
Our take
Alan addresses health insurance for businesses and employees in Europe through a healthcare app, backed by official regulatory approval. This endorsement grants Alan the ability to offer a wide range of regulated healthcare insurance services, distinguishing itself in the market.
Focused on user experience and customer satisfaction, Alan employs a people-centric approach, streamlining insurance claims and designing user-friendly health insurance products. While competitors like Babylon and Ada Health exist, Alan's primary focus on health insurance sets it apart.
Despite macroeconomic challenges prompting a goal realignment, Alan achieved significant revenue growth in 2023 and reached a valuation of $4.5 billion in late 2024. This was driven by impressive funding rounds and an expansion of its client base, leveraging AI tools for enhanced productivity. With a robust cash revenue, Alan plans to sustain growth, consolidate its position in the existing markets, and explore expansion into new territories, positioning itself for a potential future IPO.
