Full Job Description
We9re hiring a high-agency operator into the Innovation & Delivery team to drive Clover9s most important cross-functional initiatives from ambiguity to execution. You9ll join a small, cross-functional team within Innovation & Delivery that builds the systems, programs, and strategies defining Clover9s next chapter.

This is a rare role designed for someone who thrives at the intersection of strategy, systems design, and executional rigor. You9ll operate as a force-multiplier to the CEO and executive team: orchestrating execution across organizational boundaries, structuring problems that don9t yet have owners, and driving initiatives that directly shape Clover9s 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 Clover9s 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:
  • You9ve 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.
  • You9re not a deck-maker. You9re a system builder who wants to see the impact of your thinking play out in operations.
  • You9ve driven complex, multi-org initiatives to the finish line - not just advised on them.
  • You9re energized by ambiguity, allergic to bureaucracy, and motivated by direct proximity to decision-making and value creation.
  • You don9t 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. Additionally, we offer a performance-based bonus program, 401k matching, and regular compensation reviews to recognize and reward exceptional contributions.
  • Physical Well-Being: We prioritize the health and well-being of our employees and their families by providing comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage. Your health matters to us, and we invest in ensuring you have access to quality healthcare.
  • Mental Well-Being: We understand the importance of mental health in fostering productivity and maintaining work-life balance. To support this, we offer initiatives such as No-Meeting Fridays, monthly company holidays, access to mental health resources, and a generous flexible time-off policy. Additionally, we embrace a remote-first culture that supports collaboration and flexibility, allowing our team members to thrive from any location.
  • Professional Development: Developing internal talent is a priority for Clover. We offer learning programs, mentorship, professional development funding, and regular performance feedback and reviews.

Additional Perks:
  • Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) offering discounted equity opportunities
  • Reimbursement for office setup expenses
  • Monthly cell phone & internet stipend
  • Remote-first culture, enabling collaboration with global teams
  • Paid parental leave for all new parents
  • And much more!

Final pay is based on several factors including but not limited to internal equity, market data, and the applicant9s education, work experience, certifications, etc.

A reasonable estimate of the base salary range for this role is:

$160,000-$190,000 USD
