FULL-TIME

Hybrid Assistant Director of Operations / Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA)

About Us

We are a BCBA-owned and operated ABA organization committed to delivering high-quality, ethical, and client-centered services. Our leadership structure is intentionally designed to allow BCBAs to focus on clinical excellence, client outcomes, and operational leadership rather than administrative burdens.

To support this mission:

• A dedicated Parent Training Director provides parent and caregiver training services.
• A dedicated Insurance and Authorization Specialist manages authorizations, reauthorizations, claims, and insurance-related administrative processes.
• BCBAs are empowered to focus on client care, staff development, quality assurance, and organizational operations.

Position Summary

We are seeking a dynamic and highly organized professional to serve in a dual-role capacity as both Assistant Director of Operations and Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) at our school-aged clinic. This leadership position combines operational oversight with a small clinical caseload, allowing the individual to influence organizational growth while remaining connected to client outcomes.

This role is ideal for a BCBA who enjoys leadership, process improvement, staff development, and operational management while maintaining direct clinical involvement.

Essential Responsibilities

Assistant Director of Operations

• Partner with executive leadership to oversee daily operations and organizational initiatives.
• Support recruitment, onboarding, staff retention, and employee engagement efforts.
• Monitor operational workflows and implement systems that improve efficiency and service quality.
• Assist with scheduling oversight, capacity management, and service expansion planning.
• Support quality assurance and compliance initiatives.
• Analyze operational metrics and develop action plans to improve performance.
• Participate in strategic planning, growth initiatives, and program development.
• Collaborate with clinical leadership to ensure exceptional client outcomes and staff support.
• Promote a culture of accountability, professionalism, and excellence.

BCBA Clinical Responsibilities

• Manage a small caseload sufficient to support billable hour expectations.
• Conduct assessments and develop individualized treatment plans.
• Provide supervision, mentorship, and support to RBTs and clinical staff.
• Monitor client progress and make data-based treatment decisions.
• Collaborate with families, schools, and other providers as needed.
• Ensure all clinical documentation is completed accurately and in compliance with payer and regulatory requirements.
• Support clinical quality initiatives and staff development.

What Makes This Role Different

Unlike many ABA organizations, this position is designed to allow BCBAs to focus on what they do best:

• Clinical care and client outcomes
• Staff mentorship and supervision
• Operational leadership and organizational growth

The organization provides dedicated support for administrative functions that often pull BCBAs away from their expertise:

• Parent training is managed by the Parent Training Director.
• Insurance authorizations, reauthorizations, and billing-related coordination are managed by the Insurance and Authorization Specialist.
• Administrative systems are designed to maximize BCBA efficiency and effectiveness.

Qualifications

Required

• Current BCBA certification in good standing.
• Master's degree in Behavior Analysis, Psychology, Education, or related field.
• Minimum of 3 years of ABA clinical experience.
• Demonstrated leadership, organizational, and communication skills.
• Experience supervising RBTs and clinical staff.
• Strong commitment to ethical and evidence-based practice.

Preferred

• Previous operational, management, or director-level experience.
• Experience with program development and organizational growth.
• Strong systems-thinking and problem-solving skills.

Schedule

• Hybrid work environment.
• Flexible scheduling.
• Combination of operational leadership, remote work, and client-facing responsibilities.
• Clinical caseload intentionally maintained at a manageable level to support operational leadership duties.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation package.
• Leadership development opportunities.
• Continuing education and professional development support.
• Paid time off and holidays.
• Health, dental, and vision benefits (if applicable).
• Advancement opportunities within a growing BCBA-led organization.
