Special Projects Lead

Summary

Join Clover as a Special Project Lead in the Office of the CEO to drive critical cross-functional initiatives. You will translate high-level goals into actionable workstreams, ensuring clear ownership and timelines. This role demands exceptional execution, stakeholder alignment, and the ability to navigate ambiguity. You will manage projects involving internal teams and external partners, building systems and driving initiatives that directly impact Clover's growth. The ideal candidate possesses 3–10 years of experience in top-tier consulting, BizOps, or a similar strategic role, demonstrating strong analytical, communication, and leadership skills. Success will be measured by the successful completion of multiple cross-functional initiatives and the development of scalable coordination mechanisms.

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 work-streams 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
