Ops Builder - Canadian Market 🇨🇦

You. Better. With Alan.

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.

Our mission: 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.

How we work: our Leadership Principles

• Mission is the Boss — We think long-term and are methodical optimists who take risks, seeking our mission's success above all else.

• Distributed Ownership — Accountable enlightened despots: everyone owns their decisions and results.

• Radical Transparency — All information is accessible and written-first, so everyone can make the best decisions asynchronously.

• Always Growing — Direct, positive, and caring feedback, combined with self-growth ownership.
