  • Coach staff to adopt a proactive mindset around client acquisition, engagement, and retention.

Financial Acumen

  • Manage full clinic P&L, including top-line revenue, clinic operating cost, labor and non-labor expense management.
  • Optimize center profitability by acting on key financial drivers such as center growth, contract rates, billable hour utilization, and service completion.
  • Collaborate with corporate finance and operations teams to implement strategies that maximize clinic profitability.

    • Operational Excellence

  • Lead high-quality execution of ABA services through proactive scheduling and resource optimization.
  • Maintain compliance with licensing, accreditation, and internal policies.
  • Monitor and drive service delivery performance, ensuring 100% treatment completion.
  • Use data dashboards (e.g., Tableau) to track, analyze and interpret data / KPI to make informed decisions.

    • Talent Retention & Engagement

  • Hire, develop, and retain high-performing teams.
  • Create a high-performance culture by investing in professional development and celebrating success.
  • Lead effective onboarding and mentorship programs for new team members and EDiTs.
  • Conduct regular employee rounding, performance check-ins, and engagement surveys to foster a connected and motivated team.

    • Relationship-Driven Leadership

  • Build trust with families and caregivers through early and frequent engagement, ensuring consistent communication and satisfaction.
  • Host or promote weekly caregiver support groups to build community and empower families.
  • Advocate for school-based services and support caregiver participation in treatment planning.
  • Develop and nurture strategic relationships with community stakeholders, referral sources, and business development partners to support growth and enhance service awareness.
  • Champion collaboration across departments, including Clinical, Admissions, Marketing, and HR.

    • Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree required; Master’s in Business, Healthcare Administration, or Behavioral Health strongly preferred.
  • Minimum 5 years of operations and growth leadership experience in a high-growth service industry, healthcare / health system, behavioral health or education.
  • Entrepreneurs with franchise or service supply chain experience.
  • Proven track record of leading operations, driving organic growth, increasing revenue growth, and building engaged teams.
  • Understanding Financial fluency (P&L, EBITDA, KPI analysis)
  • A deep understanding of ABA therapy and / or allied health services is strongly preferred.
  • High emotional intelligence, resilience, and an entrepreneurial mindset.

    • Benefits
