IT Operations Specialist

Role Summary

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 800+ people. If it speaks to you: we're hiring across France, Spain, Belgium, and Canada. And beyond.

Mission

Alan is scaling internationally (900+ employees, 100+ healthcare professionals, 5+ countries) and needs IT Operations Specialists to own device security, SaaS platforms, identity & access, and the daily IT experience of every Alaner, while contributing to build projects that remove operational toil.

IT at Alan is not a helpdesk. Run and support take roughly 60% of your time; the rest goes to build projects you co-own with the IT Engineer leading them.

The scope below is what the team owns, not a checklist for one person. We staff people according to their strengths and interests, and it evolves over time.

• Scope
• 🛟 Support & Oncall
• Own L1/L2 oncall for 900+ Alaners across 5+ countries, with a clear escalation path to engineers
• Triage, communicate to users during incidents, and escalate appropriately
• Document recurring issues and reduce ticket volume through self-service
• 💻 Device lifecycle & endpoint compliance
• Own the full device lifecycle: procurement, zero-touch enrollment (Apple Business Manager, Kandji), repair, retrieval
• Maintain role-based Kandji blueprints and least-privilege configurations
• Contribute to device compliance across all countries (MDM, EDR, FileVault) and to audit evidence
• Own the physical side: laptop locker, hardware inventory, office equipment

Examples from the current roadmap: rebuilding the onboarding intake, the meeting room audiovisual equipment and room-booking revamp, the IT playbook for new offices, ISO 27001 / ACPR evidence collection

• Milestones
• First 2 months
• Join IT oncall rotation (helpdesk) with buddy/shadowing support

• First 6 months
• Handle IT oncall shifts autonomously, solving most problems that do not require engineer input
• Own onboarding/offboarding workflows end-to-end
• Have wide knowledge of Alan's processes, equipment, and tools
• Contribute to a build project alongside an IT Engineer
• First year
• Be regarded as an expert on at least one topic beyond the oncall rotation (e.g. MDM, SaaS admin, compliance documentation)
• Contribute on device compliance improvements (MDM, EDR, FileVault) across all countries
• Ship automation or self-service projects that measurably reduce IT toil, with limited guidance
• Lead small to medium IT projects end-to-end
• 3 years
• Fully autonomous on the User Experience & Platform workstreams
• Lead medium to high-complexity IT projects end-to-end
• Mentor newer team members, reduce bus factor through documentation, automation and knowledge sharing
