VP of Clinical Operations in Des Moines, Iowa at Carelinks ABA

The VP of Clinical Operations leads clinical operations at Carelinks ABA and is the day-to-day support system for our BCBAs. This person manages and mentors the BCBA team, oversees caseloads and clinical quality, steps in on escalations, and works to defuse conflict before it grows. Success looks like BCBAs who feel backed by their leadership, clients who keep progressing toward mastery, and a clinic that holds firm ethical and fidelity standards.

We are looking for a clinician who leads through relationships rather than hierarchy, and who knows that genuine support and genuine accountability go hand in hand. BCBAs should feel they can bring a hard case or a frustration to this person and be met with steadiness, fairness, and a plan — while also expecting to be challenged and pushed to grow. Someone who reads the room and handles disagreement without ego, but who names hard truths directly rather than letting things slide. Above all, a leader people are glad to work for: kind and respectful, and unwilling to let anyone settle for less than their best.
