At Bierman, we’ve worked hard to protect that why.

For 20 years, we’ve stayed BCBA-owned, privately held, debt‑free, and independent, meaning NO outside investors influence our clinical values. Our model mirrors a teaching hospital: collaborative, research-driven, and designed to help clinicians develop into the leaders they envisioned when they first joined the field.

What will you do as a Clinical Director?

You’ll dive into case reviews, support BCBAs with real-time problem solving, and fuel professional growth through modeling, training, and meaningful feedback. You’ll also guide families through their very first steps with us by overseeing tours, assessments, and the onboarding process for new learners. And because client success is our north star, you’ll help drive progress using our clinical outcome metrics while keeping creativity, compassion, and play at the center of everything we do.

In partnership with the Practice Manager, you’ll help shape a fun, positive, team‑first culture where celebrating wins big and small is part of the everyday rhythm. If you're excited about transforming lives, mentoring future clinical leaders, and helping children ages 2–9 learn through joy, curiosity, and connection, this is the role for you!
