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 Practice Coach
- We are hiring a BCBA Practice 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
