Union Relations Lead / Directeur(rice) du Paritarisme

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. 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 mission of the Union Relations Lead

Unions and social partners play a central and legitimate role in how social protection is designed, negotiated and implemented in France. We're looking for a Union Relations Lead to build and animate Alan's relationships with unions, their federations, and the broader paritariste ecosystem, making Alan a trusted, substantive and well-known interlocutor of French social partners, and supporting our Enterprise & Public Sector teams across large private employers and public institutions.

⭐ What makes this role genuinely unique

• You'll shape how one of Europe's fastest-growing health tech companies builds its relationships with the French social partner ecosystem (from confederations to sector federations to paritariste institutions).

• You'll operate at the highest levels of the paritariste ecosystem: confederal leadership, sector federations, IP boards, organisations patronales.

• You'll shape the strategy, not just execute it. Alan is at an early stage of building this capability (the playbook is yours to define)

• You'll work directly with Founders, Public Affair as well as Public Sector and Enterprise leadership.

• Real ownership from day one, in one of the fastest-growing tech unicorns in Europe.

⭐️ Your role

Relationships & Presence

• Build and maintain trusted, long-term relationships with the organizations that represent employees and members across the sectors that matter to Alan (unions, federations, and the structures that convene them).

• Map the ecosystem, prioritize interlocutors, and design the engagement strategy at confederal, federal and branch level.

• Represent Alan in federations, working groups, congrès and paritariste institutions where our sector’s future is discussed.

• Be the credible consistent Alan voice social partners recognise

Partnership with Alan's Enterprise & Public Sector work

• Be a partner to our teams serving large private employers and public sector clients, briefing them on the social partners context and how Alan’s offer speaks to their priorities

• Introduce the right contacts at the right moment in the commercial cycle, turning Alan’s ecosystem relationships into concrete commercial leverage.

• Share Alan’s content with social partners to help them assess Alan on its merits and form their own view.

Sector Engagement & Anticipation

• Follow the dialogue at branch level and across the paritariste ecosystem and turn that understanding into internal clarity.

• Represent Alan in the federations and working groups where our sector's future is discussed, contributing a constructive and recognizable voice.

• Be a sharp, early internal voice on where social dialogue is heading and on the implications for Alan's strategy.

Build & Scale

• Knowledge base: Build and maintain a knowledge library on social partner positions, branch agreements, and paritariste institutions shared with Enterprise and Public Sector deal teams to increase win rates.

• Framework & tools: Implement processes and AI tools to improve the quality and efficiency of our social partner engagement and documentation.

• Collaboration: Share best practices with the broader Enterprise & Public Sector team and contribute proven methodologies to their scaled commercial operations.

• Market intelligence: Provide competitive intelligence on how social partners and competitors position themselves in our key markets.

⭐ Is it you we’re looking for?

You’ll be a great fit for the Union Relations Lead role at Alan if you:

• Have at least 8 years of total experience in social partner relations: in a union organization, a branch federation, a paritariste institution, or in an external affairs role at a mutelle, IP or insurer

• Have legitimate credibility at federation level: ability to engage federation leadership as a peer, built through a personal representative past or years of substantive engagement at federation level on employer side.

• Have deep knowledge of the paritariste ecosystem: branch agreements, confederal mandates, protection sociale reforms, and how institutions at each level function

• Have proven ability to build trust with social partners from the employer/state side

• Have outstanding stakeholder management: calm, long-game, trustworthy, discreet, able to represent Alan substantively without making it about yourself.

• Have ability to translate Alan’s product and strategy into compelling narratives for social partner audiences

• Demonstrable impact from prior social-partner work on an organization’s commercial and strategic outcomes

• Are a self-starter: comfortable building from scratch in a fast-paced, high-growth environment

• Are ego-free and lever-minded: you accelerate others, you don't seek the spotlight.

• Are based in (or willing to relocate to) Paris.

Nice to have:

• A confederal or federal elected / permanent past.

• Experience inside a paritariste institution

• Experience inside a sector federation on its social dialogue agenda.

• Legal background in droit social and comfort reading accords collectifs quickly.

• International exposure to the European social dialogue ecosystem.

• Prior experience with RFPs or tenders involving union-negotiated or paritariste schemes.

Everything else is a plus. We care about having a diversity of experiences, profiles and backgrounds in our team.
