About the Opportunity

The Special Projects Manager provides substantive, strategic, and administrative support to the CEO of Too Small to Fail (TSTF), the early childhood initiative of the Clinton Foundation, and the TSTF team. This includes calendar and meeting management, communications assistance, correspondence, and logistical support. The Special Projects Manager triages internal and external requests to prioritize them with respect to the initiative’s priorities, responsibilities, organization-wide goals and deadlines, and manages discrete TSTF projects.

This role assists the CEO to maximize their time on high-level items by using discretion in scheduling and meeting arrangements; acts as a partner to CEO and members of the Senior Leadership Team; and learns the Foundation’s processes and history to enhance that partnership. The Special Projects Manager also provides support to improve cross-departmental cohesion and effectiveness. The Special Projects Manager proactively manages routine and ad hoc special projects including event preparation, quarterly board meeting preparation, Foundation-wide projects, and co-managing and/or supporting programmatic work. This role will have a birds-eye-view of TSTF’s work and priority projects will include donor and partner research, supporting the creation of grant applications and final reports, communications assistance, contracting, managing expenses, logistical support, and strategic planning.

​​​Building on a lifetime of public service, President Clinton established the Clinton Foundation on the simple belief that everyone deserves a chance to succeed, everyone has a responsibility to act, and we all do better when we work together. For more than two decades, those values have energized the Foundation’s efforts to address big challenges, create new opportunities, and make a difference in people’s lives across the United States and around the world. Too Small to Fail, surrounds families with early language and learning opportunities, and supports parents and caregivers with resources to talk, read, and sing with young children from birth to help prepare them for success in kindergarten and beyond.
