Job Description

About Alpaca Health

Alpaca Health is a business-in-a-box for autism care providers to launch, run, and grow independent practices. We help clinicians get in-network with insurance, find their first caseload of clients, and eliminate admin overhead with an AI-powered EHR.

We believe the future of healthcare should be led by clinicians, not corporations, and are dedicated to helping clinicians become owners.

We're growing fast, 30% MoM, and we're just getting started. Our top priority is helping clinician-entrepreneurs and families connect and thrive.

  • Today, we operate in Texas and Colorado, but we’re excited to open up 4 more states in 2026.
  • We’ve raised $12M+ from leading VCs including Core Innovation Capital, Adverb Ventures and South Park Commons.
  • Role: BCBA Business Coach
  • We are hiring a BCBA Business Coach to help autism care practices succeed on the Alpaca platform.
  • This role goes far beyond traditional customer success.
  • It is about helping providers grow sustainable, high-quality, and revenue-generating practices.
  • You will work closely with clinicians and practice owners to strengthen operations, decrease time-to-intake, and deliver higher-quality outcomes to more families.
  • You will act as a trusted advisor, operator, and growth partner.
  • This is a high-ownership role with direct impact on provider outcomes and company performance.
  • What You’ll Do

Act as a Strategic Advisor to Providers

  • Build trusted relationships with clinicians and practice owners.
  • Diagnose practice challenges and develop actionable growth plans.
  • Track performance metrics and ensure providers are progressing toward goals.
  • Share best practices across the network to improve clinical and business outcomes.

Improve Product Adoption and Operational Excellence

  • Help providers use Alpaca’s tools effectively to run their practice.
  • Surface workflow issues and collaborate with Product and Operations to improve systems.
  • Translate real-world provider feedback into scalable playbooks and process improvements.
  • Own outcomes, not just activity
  • Measure success through provider growth, retention, and revenue performance.
  • Prioritize high-impact work rather than routine check-ins or reactive support.
  • Step into ambiguous situations and move them forward with urgency and structure.

Drive Practice Growth and Revenue Outcomes

  • Partner with clinicians to understand weekly billable hours and optimize utilization, scheduling, cancellations, etc.
  • Identify operational bottlenecks across intake, scheduling, authorizations, documentation, and billing.
  • Support providers in hiring, staffing planning, and scaling their services responsibly.

Who We’re Looking For

  • Work incredibly hard. As a startup, the hours stretch beyond the traditional 9-5, especially as an organization that supports practices across time zones (including Hawaii)
  • Think like owners and care deeply about real outcomes.
  • Are comfortable working in fast-moving, high-accountability environments.
  • Can turn messy operational realities into structured plans.
  • Communicate clearly and build trust quickly.
  • Are data-driven and comfortable working with performance metrics.
  • Are ambitious and excited to grow into leadership roles as the company scales.
  • NYC-based candidates preferred, but we are open to remote / hybrid candidates.

Why Join

  • Direct impact on families and clinicians from day one.
  • Real ownership over provider growth and network performance.
  • Exposure to company-building across product, operations, and go-to-market.
  • Fast learning curve and strong leadership growth opportunities.

Compensation

  • Competitive salary
  • Meaningful equity
  • Health benefits
  • Flexible PTO
