Own the white space. Operate with CEO mandate. Drive the programs that move the company.
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 measura
