Company mission
To improve the quality of life of our members and physicians by reducing doctor-insurer friction and increasing visibility into the health of each patient, leading to improved care.
Role
Who you are
- 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
What the job involves
- 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
- 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
- Success in this role looks like:
- First 90 days: Quickly grasp Clover's business model, establish key relationships, identify 2-3 high-priority initiatives, and implement a structured framework for tracking strategic projects
- First 6 months: Successfully drive multiple cross-functional initiatives to completion, develop systems improving operational efficiency, and establish yourself as a trusted CEO 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
Our take
Clover Health is a medical insurance company operating as a Preferred Provider Orgaization for Medicare Advantage, the Medicare plan for elderly American citizens. It aims to reduce the doctor-insurer friction to increase visibility into the health of patients.
Supported by Clover, physicians are able to focus on people rather than paperwork. It offers patient-centered analytics and a dedicated care management team, so it is able to rapidly identify potential healthcare risks and provide preventative care. This helps to provide a more sophisticated level of care than existing providers.
Over the years, Clover Health has performed well in a rapidly growing market, despite hitting profitability issues back in 2021. The company smartly focussed in on this issue, and is now expecting to reach profitability in 2026. With the growing number of elderly Americans, the market is only going to get bigger, presenting an opportunity for even bigger growth.
