The Account Executive (Learn & Care) job

We're expanding our Sales team in France and are looking for a 'full-stack' Sales person to engage with prospects and turn them into happy Alan customers. You will join a team that mostly focuses on companies from the Learn & Care industry, interacting with everyone from HR executives to CEOs.

This segment encompasses daycare centers, educational institutions, hospitals, home help services, and social work organizations. This segment represents approximately
1.9M potential members
in France.

Why is this Vertical interesting?

• Passionate team:
  Our 6-person team is passionate about the sector we address, and the daily learnings from the field enhance this.
• Diverse workforce
  : Predominantly female employees (often at SMIC-level or capped wages), with a mix of highly skilled caregivers, educators, and support staff, plus limited management/HR resources despite operational complexity;
• Critical challenges
  : Administrative burden is particularly heavy due to high turnover (generating significant onboarding/offboarding paperwork), fierce competition for talent (from other companies, independent workers, or direct employment), and strict regulatory requirements;
• Company profiles
  : Often TPE/PME-sized structures managing large employee bases (e.g., 95% of staff in nursery locations, managed like small businesses), with frequent part-time contracts, temporary workers, and multi-employer arrangements;
• HR priorities
  : Attracting and retaining talent in a sector with staffing shortages (90% report recruitment difficulties), managing physical and mental well-being (burnout, musculoskeletal issues, high stress), and maintaining quality standards while controlling costs in a highly regulated, sensitive environment.

Our existing customers in this segment particularly value Alan's simplified administrative experience, which resonates strongly in an industry where limited management staff handles complex HR tasks. We've also established strategic partnerships with key federations (FFEC for private daycare centers and FESP for home services), positioning us as a trusted partner in the sector.
