Job description

At Clover Health, we are reinventing health insurance by combining the power of data with human empathy to keep our members healthier. We believe the healthcare system is broken, so we've created custom software and analytics to empower our clinical staff to intervene and provide personalized care to the people who need it most. We’re hiring a high-agency operator into the Innovation & Delivery team to drive Clover’s most important cross-functional initiatives from ambiguity to execution. You’ll join a small, cross-functional team within Innovation & Delivery 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. As a Special Projects Lead, you will: Architect Strategic Programs: Translate high-level goals into MECE workstreams with clear interfaces, owners, and timelines. Harness AI & Emerging Technology: Identify and deploy AI-powered tools and approaches to accelerate execution and unlock solutions across your own work and broader workstreams. 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. Success in this role looks like: First 90 days: Quickly grasp Clover’s business model, establish key relationships, and become the go-to-lead on a core strategic project. First 6 months: Successfully drive multiple cross-functional initiatives to completion, develop systems improving operational efficiency, and establish yourself as a trusted leadership advisor on strategic priorities. First year: Create scalable coordination mechanisms that improve execution across teams, resolve strategic misalignments, and deliver measurable business impact on growth and operational leverage. You should get in touch if: 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. Benefits Overview : Financial Well-Being: Our commitment to attracting and retaining top talent begins with a competitive base salary and equity opportunities.
