Special Projects Lead - Office of the CEO

Clover Health•San Francisco Bay Area, CA

33d•$160,000 - $180,000•Remote

About The Position

Own the white space. Operate with CEO mandate. Drive the programs that move the company. We’re hiring a high-agency operator into the Office of the CEO to drive Clover’s most important cross-functional initiatives from ambiguity to execution. You’ll join a small, cross-functional team within the Office of the CEO that builds the systems, programs, and strategies defining Clover’s next chapter. This is a rare role designed for someone who thrives at the intersection of strategy, systems design, and executional rigor. You’ll operate as a force-multiplier to the CEO and executive team: orchestrating execution across organizational boundaries, structuring problems that don’t yet have owners, and driving initiatives that directly shape Clover’s growth and operational leverage.

Requirements

You’ve had 3–10 years of experience at a top-tier consulting firm (e.g., McKinsey, Bain, BCG), in BizOps at a tech company, or in a high-trust internal strategy/Chief of Staff-type role.
You think in structured logic, write with precision, and speak in synthesized insights.
You’re not a deck-maker. You’re a system builder who wants to see the impact of your thinking play out in operations.
You’ve driven complex, multi-org initiatives to the finish line — not just advised on them.
You’re energized by ambiguity, allergic to bureaucracy, and motivated by direct proximity to decision-making and value creation.
You don’t need positional authority to lead. You earn trust and create alignment through clarity, quality, and velocity.

Responsibilities

Architect Strategic Programs: Translate high-level goals into MECE workstreams with clear interfaces, owners, and timelines.
Drive Execution with CEO-Standard Rigor: Own initiatives from kickoff through outcomes. Set the pace. Maintain altitude and detail without losing either.
Align Stakeholders Across Levels and Functions: Influence without authority. Drive accountability through clarity, not escalation.
Translate Ambiguity Into Action: When no playbook exists, build one. When priorities are unclear, force rank them. When coordination breaks down, rebuild the system.
Collaborate Across Boundaries: Manage projects that touch internal teams and external partners — vendors, regulators, and strategic collaborators. Align internal readiness to external dependencies.
