The Account Executive (Enterprise) job

We're expanding our Sales team in France and are looking for a 'full-stack' Enterprise Sales person to engage with prospects and turn them into happy Alan customers. You will join a team that mostly focuses on very large companies from Tech, Syntec, HCR, and B2B services, interacting with everyone from HR executives to CEOs.

Why is this segment interesting?

• Diverse workforce
  : Mix of 60% cadres / 40% non-cadres, often with subsidiaries or multi-site operations, ranging from highly tech-savvy employees to those requiring digital adoption support.
• Critical challenges
  :
  Multi-stakeholder decision processes
  involving HRD, CFO, CEO, Payroll, CSE, Legal, Purchasing, Comp & Ben, Accounting, Brokers (creating multiple potential blockers),
  long sales cycles
  (multi-year conversations), RFP processes requiring deep audits and product customization, and strong influence from unions/CSE who can co-manage health insurance topics;
• Company profiles
  : Flagship companies (widely known brands), groups with standalone entities or subsidiaries, often with focus on employee wellbeing (QVT programs, Great Place to Work), modern company culture, and strategic communication about digitization or employer brand attractiveness;
• HR priorities
  : Increasing productivity, obtaining fair and competitive pricing, contributing to employee well-being through customized health plans, simplifying HR processes with digital platforms, and managing change management concerns when implementing new health insurance (biggest fear for large companies)
• Critical business characteristics
  : This segment requires
  breadth & depth of expertise
  to navigate complex organizations,
  account-based strategies
  with Key Account Management approach, early engagement in company roadmaps, face-to-face meetings, co-creation of insurance and digital products (tailored offers considering past results, specific regimes, demographics, payroll system integration), and ability to work through RFPs and with brokers. Sales cycles are
  volatile
  with high stakes: 1 deal = 50% of annual target for Very Large AEs.

Our approach for Very Large companies positions Alan as a
strategic partner in health
rather than just an insurance provider, emphasizing our digital platform for fluid UX, customized health plans at fair pricing, and health/well-being services. Success requires leveraging high-level connections, building professional materials, and potentially creating exclusive "Health Clubs" or labels for early adopters.

What will you do with us?
You'll own the entire sales cycle,
from prospecting to closing
. In our Enterprise Sales team, you will deal with companies with
1,000-10,000 employees
. This segment represents approximately
7M potential members
across ~7,000 companies in France.

At Alan, Account Executives
drive deals and close strategic opportunities with prospects
. We sometimes handle some customer relationships to ensure the best possible onboarding. You'll educate prospects, provide inspiring product demos, and onboard key stakeholders, making the transition from prospect to customer seamless.

We expect you to understand and apply the
Alan Smart & Soft selling method
. This method ensures the prospect experience is an integral part of the overall Alan customer experience—making it pleasant and delightful for everyone. We expect you to be instructive to prospects (Smart), as well as to define the best personalized high-touch strategy that suits best each prospect (Soft).

You'll also
help us grow and improve as a company
, challenging us to enhance our product(s), methods, and strategy, and getting involved in initiatives to expand our customer base.

Is it you we're looking for?
You'll be a great fit for the Metallurgy Team at Alan if you:

• Have
  at least 8 years of experience
  managing the whole Sales cycle, from prospecting to closing.
• Have full working proficiency in
  French
  (C2 and above) and an advanced level in
  English
  .

  organized with exceptional follow-up skills
  ;
• Have
  empathy
  and are passionate about understanding and solving prospects' problems;

  influence
  through persuasion, negotiation, and consensus-building;
• Have a deep understanding of
  value drivers
  in recurring revenue business models;

  collaborate
  in a small team;

  learn fast
  and make an impact from day 1;
