🐼 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 35K+ companies of all sizes, serving more than 950+ members, and have reached 680M+ in ARR.

Our team of 700+ people (andstill growing) operates across France 🇫🇷, Spain 🇪🇸, Belgium 🇧🇪, and Canada 🇨🇦.

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:

⭐️ The Product and Privacy Counsel role ⭐️

We're at a pivotal moment in our journey—scaling across multiple countries while handling some of our members' most sensitive data and building increasingly sophisticated health products that require thoughtful privacy-by-design approaches. As we mature, the complexity and impact of privacy decisions grow exponentially, making this role critical to our continued success.

That is where you come in.

You'll work at the intersection of privacy, AI, health, product, and innovation—contributing to Alan's position on opportunities and risks as early as the strategy and roadmapping stage. With tens of features or completely new services that can involve novel uses of health data being discussed or launched every couple of months, you'll need to find radical shortcuts and paint the bigger picture behind individual ideas.

Examples of challenges you'll tackle:

  • How can we design health products that balance personnalization with privacy?

  • How can we anticipate the biggest regulatory changes to come?

  • How do we navigate evolving data residency and sovereignty requirements as we expand internationally?

  • How do we guide our team to implement product compliance frameworks, including for responsible use of AI in our services?

  • How do we build trust with regulators while maintaining our innovation pace and member experience?

You won't just answer these questions—you'll shape how Alan navigates them.

You'll be a key contributor to Alan's privacy and product compliance program and an owner of its operational implementation:

  • Working and growing alongside our team of senior digital and privacy experts: François Zannotti, Camille Leflour, Marion Bergeret, the security team and user care experts.

  • Becoming an integral part of the team working on Alan’s product: you will work closely with Alan's Product Management, Data, Health professionals Operations, Design, and Engineering communities on a daily basis.

Your key goal will be to scale our distributed and transparent Legal function across the full breadth of our product — creating frameworks, automations, and training resources that empower the team to make sound decisions autonomously. Rather than being a gatekeeper, you'll be a business-enabler who helps the entire organization think about health, privacy and regulation proactively. We'd love your ideas on improving our legal operations. Watch Marion talk about how we do Legal at Alan.

You'll help position Alan as a thought leader in healthcare innovation, contributing to industry discussions, engaging with regulators proactively. Your work will influence not just Alan's approach, but how the broader healthcare industry thinks about balancing innovation with regulation in health.

In keeping with Alan's culture, the team is not hierarchical. We all collaborate, brainstorm, and help each other make the best decisions. Work is not delegated—you'll identify the priorities and the projects where you can create the most value and own them end-to-end.


⭐️ If you have some of the following, you may be a great fit ⭐️

  • Strong written communication skills and structure, demonstrated through experience leading complex projects with multiple stakeholders.

  • The ability to simplify and propose clear trade-offs and solutions—you'll interact with non-lawyers daily.

  • A very good level of written and spoken English (everyone at Alan works in English).
