Job description

Soar Autism Center is building a network of interdisciplinary clinics where children with autism and their families receive life-shaping services that support them to thrive. We prioritize early intervention, comprehensive supportive services, and positive, developmentally-appropriate learning that meets the needs of each unique child and family. Specifically, we focus on integrated autism care and a play-based model of applied behavior analysis (ABA) based on the principles of the Early Start Denver Model.
The Center Operations Director (COD) role is a high-impact leadership position for someone early-to-mid career who is smart, ambitious, and ready to own real responsibility. This is not a back-office role. You'll run a center, lead a team, partner closely with clinicians, and directly influence growth, quality, and family experience.
Soar is growing rapidly, and many of our CODs grow into multi-site leadership, regional operations, or senior operational roles as Soar continues to expand. If you're looking for a role where you can learn quickly, be trusted early, and build a meaningful leadership career, this is it.
Specific Responsibilities Include The Following
Running a High-Performing Center
You are the operational leader of the center and responsible for:
  • Acting as the local owner of performance against forecasted goals, including budget, utilization, and efficiency
  • Driving strong execution of Soar's operating systems (scheduling, staffing, billing efficiency, cleanliness, parent communication, etc.)
  • Partner with market and regional leadership to identify opportunities, solve problems, and continuously improve how the center runs
  • Lead with calm, clarity, and professionalism in a fast-paced environment

Creating an Exceptional Family Experience
Families trust us with their children, and you make that trust real every day by:
  • Owning all parts of the non-clinical experience for caregivers
  • Building strong, supportive relationships with caregivers and ensure clear, timely communication
  • Driving strong attendance, engagement, and client satisfaction (NPS)
  • Delivering a smooth onboarding for new families
  • Managing the front desk and providing a warm welcome to clients, prospective clients and teammates
  • Preparing families for diagnostics, assessments, and transitions with confidence and clarity

Leading and Developing People
This is a true people leadership role where you develop a high-performing team by:
  • Serving as the primary people leader for local staff, including clinicians and support team members
  • Coaching, developing, and motivating team members
  • Partnering closely with the lead clinician to support clinical excellence, team morale, and retention
  • Acting as a trusted point of escalation and support for staff, knowing when to solve and when to escalate

Who this role is great for
  • You're early-to-mid career but already trusted with real responsibility
  • You enjoy running things, solving problems, and working with people
  • You're detail-oriented and big-picture oriented
  • You want a role where performance matters and growth is earned
  • You're motivated by mission-but also by learning, ownership, and career trajectory

Qualifications/Education
  • Bachelor's degree required
  • Require previous people management experience, leading high-performing teams of 8-10 or more people.
  • Require 2-3+ years of managing strong operations

What We Offer
  • Starting base salary of $80,000.00 - $100,000.00/year with annual bonus potential of up to $32,000 based on center and individual performance.
  • Comprehensive health benefits, including medical, dental, and vision plans
  • Student loan repayment and tuition reimbursement benefits
  • Priority access for in-network mental health support through our partnership with Sol Mental Health
  • Tons of support from our multidisciplinary team
  • Direct exposure to senior leaders and multi-site operators
  • A collaborative, high-accountability environment where strong performers grow quickly
  • The chance to build something meaningful-while building your career
