⭐️ General Manager (GM) Associate - KSA ⭐️
As the KSA GM Associate, you will be the General Manager's right hand in building and scaling the Saudi business from the ground up. This isn't just a job - it's a once-in-a-career opportunity to be employee #3 in what could become the region's leading health partner.
You will support execution of our strategy in the short term while helping build our long-term vision, ensuring alignment across the KSA team. You will benefit from support, resources, and expertise from the global Alan platform.
Your mission
You'll own high-impact work across the business - strategy, operations, growth, partnerships, team building. You’ll wear many hats (we can’t list them all), but your core missions include:
Owning end-to-end execution of strategic initiatives - from market research and strategy definition to go-to-market execution and operational setup. You'll lead the full cycle with accountability for results.
Building the business from scratch - you'll move fast through customer discovery, partnership development, process building, and team scaling.
Working closely with the GM associate as well as an Ops builder to define the right strategy and execute it.
Integrating the Saudi business into our global operations - work cross-functionally with teams across 5 countries to leverage Alan’s proven playbook while adapting for Saudi’s unique market dynamics.
Leading through influence and clarity - you'll communicate strategy and trade-offs clearly, keeping stakeholders aligned across time zones and functions. You'll write strategy docs, business plans, and updates that help teams make decisions autonomously.
You may be a great fit at Alan if you have
2-4 years of experience building businesses or driving growth in management consulting, investment banking, M&A, or as an operator at a high-growth startup/scaleup, or founder.
Fluency in Arabic and English (written and spoken).
Based in Saudi Arabia and open to working from Riyadh, with a deep understanding of the local market, culture, healthcare landscape, and business environment.
Strategic thinking with hands-on execution: you define strategy and inspire teams while also getting into the details, from running customer meetings to building financial models to negotiating partnerships.
Strong organization, time management and autonomy: you are well-versed in missions requiring precision and reliability. You are able to manage a project from start to finish with minimal external assistance.
An entrepreneurial mindset: you're comfortable with ambiguity, take ownership beyond your job description, and find creative solutions to hard problems.
Mission-driven: you have the will to challenge the status quo and transform the healthcare industry in Saudi Arabia.
