About The Position

At All Together Autism (ATA), we provide child- and family-centered autism services through home, community, and clinic-based programs. Our interdisciplinary team delivers Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), psychological services, and coordinated care that empowers children and families to thrive. As we continue to grow, we are seeking an experienced, hands-on senior leader to manage both the clinical and operational performance of our organization. We believe exceptional clinical outcomes and a high-performing business are inseparable. This role exists to ensure both. The Vice President, Clinical & Business Operations is a key member of ATA's executive leadership team, responsible for integrating clinical excellence with operational execution, financial performance, and strategic growth. This leader oversees ABA and Psychology operations while ensuring the systems, people, and processes are in place to deliver exceptional care efficiently and sustainably. Success requires someone equally comfortable mentoring clinicians, improving workflows, analyzing business performance, solving operational challenges, and leading organizational growth. Unlike many executive roles, this position remains connected to clinical practice by maintaining a limited billable hours through assessments, starts of care, consultation, or coverage as needed. This ensures continued clinical credibility while supporting operational flexibility. This is a highly visible, onsite leadership role requiring executive presence, strong business acumen, and a willingness to lead from the front.
