• Partner with leadership teams to problem‑solve training challenges and implement solutions that enhance technician retention and performance.
• Provide support to Mentors by facilitating bi-monthly meetings, sharing updates, and ensuring alignment with company training standards.
• Travel quarterly to observe Mentor performance, deliver in-person feedback, and maintain consistency in training quality across regions.
• Conduct RBT Competency Assessments for new hires to verify mastery and compliance with BACB standards.
• Maintain organized records of training completions, competencies, and feedback to support data-driven decision‑making.
• Collaborate with the Learning and Development team to recommend improvements to training content, delivery, and tracking processes.
• Serve as a central point of contact for field leaders on technician training progress, timelines, and program performance metrics.

Why Work at Butterfly Effects?

What Do You Bring to the Role?

• An Associate's degree or higher (Bachelor's degree in Applied Behavior Analysis, Psychology, or a related field preferred).
• Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) certification preferred; training and support to obtain certification will be provided if not yet certified.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to organize information clearly and professionally.
• Excellent multitasking, time management, and organizational abilities in a fast‑paced environment.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite and general computer systems; experience with CentralReach, Rippling, or Litmos is a plus.
