About The Position
The Market Expansion team at ACES leads the national rollout of new sites—both through de novo launches and acquisitions. Our scope spans market evaluation, diligence, launch execution, and post-acquisition integration. We ensure every new location is operationally sound, clinically ready, and aligned with ACES’ standards of care and growth objectives. As the Associate, you will serve as the operational and analytical engine of this function. You will evaluate new markets, manage integration workstreams, and track site-level performance. You’ll work closely with partners across Clinical Ops, Talent, Finance, and Growth to ensure each site scales efficiently and sustainably.

If you're a hands-on problem solver who thrives in a fast-paced, purpose-driven environment, this is your opportunity to help shape the future of ABA care and grow as a leader along the way.
