Financial Controller - Disability and Life Insurance

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 https://alan.com/en/careers. 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. 📈 FINANCE COMMUNITY AT ALAN Finance & Strategy exists to enable better decisions, faster, at every level of the company, in a regulated, diverse and ever-changing business. We succeed when ambitious goals become credible plans, when strategic bets are grounded in financial reality, and when the entire company (not just Finance!) speaks the language of performance. We set the right ambition, we monitor whether we're getting there, and we raise our hand when something needs to change. We are not record-keepers. We are builders, partners, and challengers. We are looking for people who want to build, support decision-making processes and challenge the status quo. The core responsibilities of the Finance & Strategy community are: - Strategy & Planning: steers Alan's financial performance through business planning, financial and operational monitoring, investor relations and financing - Financial Reporting: is the steward of Alan's financial truth, ensuring that we produce accurate, timely financial data. It owns the reporting to all key stakeholders (board, leadership team, tax authorities, and regulators like the ACPR) and ensures that financial data is the single, uncontested source of truth for the company's performance - Finance Data and Operations: Build and own the core finance data and tooling infrastructure (models, pipelines, and concepts that connect business operations to financial reality). This is where Finance meets product thinking - Functional poles with end-to-end ownership of their domain: Treasury, Procurement, M&A ⭐️ THE INSURANCE CONTROLLER ROLE ⭐️ Our insurance scope is growing fast: more complex reinsurance treaties, prévoyance (disability and death cover) moving in-house, new products and markets. At the same time, Finance is taking over the Solvency 2 balance sheet, which will be audited from 2028. We’re looking for a rigorous, ownership-driven insurance finance professional to own our prévoyance technical flows and the production of the Solvency 2 balance sheet. You’ll join the Financial Controlling team (within Financial Reporting) and act as the hub between Risk, Actuarial, Ops, Data and Strategy, as well as the main contact for our reinsurers and external auditors. You’ll know these numbers inside out: how they’re produced, what business reality they reflect, and how to defend them to auditors, the ACPR and the Board. You read the source texts yourself (accounting rules, Solvency 2 regulation, treaty clauses), form your own view, and know when to escalate. ⭐️ WHAT YOU WILL DO ⭐️ - Prévoyance flows: own premiums, claims, technical provisions (mathematical and claims reserves) and related reinsurance, from P&L through balance sheet and cash - Reinsurance accounting: manage reinsurance accounts, quarterly settlements and profit-sharing clauses, making sure the books reflect what our treaties actually say - Solvency 2 balance sheet (solo and group): restate French GAAP to Solvency 2, challenge actuarial best estimates and risk margin, and track own funds quarter to quarter - Regulatory reporting: prepare balance sheet and own-funds QRTs and write the balance-sheet section of the SFCR - Audit readiness: be the single point of contact for auditors on Solvency 2, starting with the 2027 dry run, with documentation and controls always ready - Monthly review: analyse and comment on your scope (P&L, balance sheet, variances, loss ratio and other insurance KPIs) - Automation: turn manual computations into clear specs for our Finance Data team, and use data and AI to make closing faster and more reliable - Business partnering: flag the accounting and solvency impact of new products, treaties or markets early and follow through to implementation ⭐️ WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR ⭐️ - At least 5 years in insurance accounting, ideally Big 4 insurance audit followed by finance or reporting at an insurer - Strong command of French GAAP insurance accounting (technical provisions, reinsurance, insurance P&L) - Hands-on experience with the Solvency 2 balance sheet and QRTs - Strong analytical skills: reconciling large datasets, bridging French GAAP to Solvency 2, spotting inconsistencies; comfortable with SQL and AI tools - Organised, rigorous and comfortable building structure from ambiguity; you close the loops and can explain technical topics to actuaries, auditors and non-finance stakeholders alike - Fluent in English and French Big pluses: prévoyance experience (long-term reserves, mortality/disability tables, profit-sharing), having built a Solvency 2 production process, actuarial knowledge, IFRS 17. 🌍 How we work - Location: You must be legally eligible to work from France.
