Job description

Operations Manager Location: Palos Verdes Estates, California Position Type: Full-Time, In-Person, Hourly, Afternoon/Evening Shift

Build Your Expertise. Guide Recovery. Join a Mission That Matters.

At Throttle & Thrive, we provide focused, trauma-informed care to First Responders and Veterans in our inpatient detox and residential treatment program. We’re looking for a dedicated and driven Operations Manager to take the lead in daily operations including managing the BHTs, compliance, facilities maintenance and more. If you’re passionate about recovery, not afraid of hard work, and thrive in a fast-paced, high-intensity and purpose-filled environment—this is the role for you.

Your Role at a Glance:

• Manage and train the Behavioral Health Technicians
• Oversee all compliance and regulatory items to ensure the standards are met
• Ensuring the facility runs on time for all program items
• Document all necessary items in Kipu
• Other duties include medication pass, taking vitals, CIWAS/COWS, computer work, group notes documentation, group facilitation, transportation, food ordering and food management, facility maintenance, vehicle inspections and more.
• You need to have a good understanding of how to use a computer and various software systems (Microsoft Office, Email and various online platforms)
• Complete all related documentation in Kipu EMR onsite and within required timelines
• Respond to clinical crises and client needs with professionalism and therapeutic integrity
• Collaborate with a tight-knit, multidisciplinary team, including medical staff and clinical leadership, to support client progress

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

This is a rare opportunity to grow in a deeply rewarding managerial role that’s both hands‑on and mission-driven. You’ll be helping our staff provide the best care to First Responders and Veterans.

What You Bring to the Table:

You’re someone who shows up with heart, structure, and a strong work ethic. You’re confident in your technical skills—or eager to develop them—and ready to contribute to a fast-paced environment with high standards and a high level of support.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Holds active RADT or CADC
• Has prior BHT and Management experience, ideally in a residential or substance use treatment setting
• Is skilled at balancing clinical care, documentation, and teamwork
• Feels comfortable managing others, overseeing vehicle maintenance
• Understands the unique experiences and emotional needs of First Responders and Veterans
• Has strong communication, time management, and problem-solving skills
• Brings a positive, collaborative attitude—and isn’t afraid of working hard
