About the role

Original posting from Alan via Ashby

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. Alan is the first company that integrates insurance, prevention, and care into a single, acclaimed user experience.

We are on an incredible journey to build a global leading company, with a unique culture https://alan.com/en/careers. 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.

⭐️ THE KEY ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT TEAM

Our Account Management team’s purpose is to make our key accounts stay and grow with Alan. We created the team in 2020 and we are now 30+.

We are looking for amazing people to help us take care of our growing pipe on Public Sector accounts (Ministries and other public entities).

Being a Key Account Manager at Alan means joining a team of talented, committed and passionate experts, with different backgrounds.

We move fast, with a lot of ownership, and are proud to tackle big problems!

  • Ensure successful onboarding of new accounts and promote Alan health partner positioning to generate massive adoption by employees and admins
  • Analyze and present consumption reports to customers through business reviews
  • Identify and execute out-of-the-box initiatives to engage our existing customers
  • Renegotiate contracts to guarantee both great value for money to our customers and sustainable profitability
  • Participate in the evolution of our products and services, acting as the voice of our customers when discussing with Product teams

You would be a great fit at Alan if most of this sounds like you:
