Clinical Director

Clinical Director (Center-Based) | $115K-$125K Base

Full-Time | No Weekends | No Travel

Are you ready to lead a team where every day means real progress for a child? Where a BCBA helps a toddler communicate for the first time, or a Behavior Therapist turns a tough Tuesday into a breakthrough? That's what leading a center at ANNA feels like.

ANNA (Allied Network for Neurodevelopmental Advancement) is where compassion meets evidence, and every child's strength shines.

We provide neurodiversity-affirming, play-based therapy to autistic children under 6 across Massachusetts, using NDBI (Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Intervention) — following each child's lead, building on their strengths, in the context of real play and real life. It's joyful, purposeful work, and as Clinical Director, you're the one who makes sure your whole team can do it well, every day.

Our values:

Excellent Care (#wholehearted). Kindness (#platinum). Inclusion (#IDIC). Teamwork (#together). Growth (#rainforest).

Position Overview

Reports To:

Market Executive Director

This is a 100% on-site, center-based role.

The Clinical Director is the on-the-ground leader of one of ANNA's centers — effectively the CEO of the clinic. You'll own the clinical excellence, day-to-day operations, and team culture of your center, leading a group of BCBAs and Behavior Therapists (BTs) who deliver NDBI-based care to children ages 18 months to 6 years.

This is a role that blends deep clinical leadership with substantial operational ownership — the job is at least as much about running the clinic as it is about clinical supervision. You'll be the direct people manager for your BCBAs (and a level-two manager for BTs), owning their supervision, development, and performance, while also managing your center's budget, staffing, scheduling, and utilization.

Enjoy a stable Monday–Friday schedule — no nights, weekends, or travel required.

What You'll Do

• Clinical Leadership & Supervision
• Own clinical quality of your center by monitoring client progress, Behavior Therapist treatment fidelity, BCBA implementation fidelity, and other key clinical quality indicators to ensure effective, consistent, and evidence-based care
• Provide individual and group supervision to BCBAs and Behavior Therapists, ensuring high-quality service delivery and adherence to our neurodiversity-affirming, NDBI methodology
• Supervise BCBAs as they conduct assessments, build intervention plans, and deliver high-quality parent coaching
• Monitor clinical documentation and ensure compliance with legal and ethical guidelines
• Coach and develop your clinical team, helping BCBAs and BTs grow into the next level of their careers
• Run Your Clinic Like a CEO
• Own your center's performance across growth, utilization, quality of care, staff and caregiver experience, and team engagement — the full picture of what makes a clinic thrive
• Own the day-to-day operations of your center: staffing, scheduling, supply ordering, facilities, and budget
• Manage utilization across your team — a key driver of both BT retention and your center's financial health — and coach BCBAs whose utilization falls below expectations
• Partner with centralized Talent Acquisition, HR, and Finance teams to keep hiring, employee relations, and clinic finances running smoothly, while owning the outcomes for your center
• Create a safe, clean, welcoming space for the children and families we serve
• People Management
• Serve as the direct people manager for your BCBAs and a level-two manager for BTs, including performance management
• Lead hiring and onboarding for your center in partnership with Talent Acquisition
• Foster a collaborative, supportive, fun work environment that keeps your team engaged and reduces turnover
• Collaborate with Leadership
• Work closely with ANNA's clinical and operational leadership to assess staffing and training needs and support team development initiatives
• Participate in individual and group supervision with clinical leadership
• Communicate effectively and proactively with your clinical team and the families we serve
• Guide the development and revision of ANNA's clinical policies and procedures, ensuring alignment between clinical best practices and operational decisions
• Participate in clinical development and research activities when available — for example, program development, pilots of new assessment or treatment tools, case presentations, and conference or research collaborations
• Your Growth Path at ANNA
• Growth here is real and named. Clinical Directors who consistently perform at the highest level — across clinical quality, operational execution, and team leadership — can grow into a Senior Clinical Director, a role reserved for CDs who mentor and model for other clinic leaders across ANNA. Anna is growing, both within and outside Massachusetts. Additional opportunities for growth are available to exceptional Clinical Directors looking for growth beyond the clinic environment.
