  • Clinical Operations Manager – BCBA

Silveira Behavior Consultants is seeking an experienced BCBA who is ready to move into a broader leadership role focused on clinic operations, people leadership, service delivery, and growth.

This position is designed for a clinician who understands that excellent ABA services depend on more than clinical programming alone.

They depend on strong systems, clear accountability, responsive leadership, excellent family communication, efficient use of resources, and the ability to make sound decisions every day.

The Clinical Operations Manager – BCBA will serve as a key on-site leader responsible for helping SBC operate effectively and scale thoughtfully.

Coordination across clinical and operational teams

Assessment and new-client support

Operational KPI review

Growth and capacity development

Implementation of Organizational Initiatives

This role also maintains clinical responsibilities through a manageable BCBA caseload, assessments, treatment planning, caregiver training, and other clinical activities.

The ideal candidate is a strong BCBA who also demonstrates:

Excellent judgment

Strong communication

Confidence handling difficult conversations

Operational thinking

Accountability

Initiative

Leadership presence

Ability to make timely decisions

Understanding of how clinical and business decisions intersect

Commitment to high-quality, ethical, family-centered ABA services

If you are ready for a leadership role with meaningful responsibility and real impact, we invite you to apply.
