About Ally Behavior Centers:
Ally Behavior is a fast-growing autism therapy company, built around exceptional clinical quality and an unmatched family experience. We’ve grown at roughly ~70% CAGR over the last four years and we’re building toward our next chapter: 10x’ing our center footprint over the next five years.
Scaling something this important requires more than plans; it requires leaders who can translate strategy into execution, build durable operating systems, and do the hard, unglamorous work to drive outcomes for kids and families.
This company has been built by investing in high-potential people earlier in their career and giving them meaningful responsibility as the business scales. Many of our leaders have grown into their roles by taking ownership of hard problems, delivering impact, and earning expanded scope over time. This role continues that tradition and it is designed for someone who wants to grow quickly by doing real work that matters.
Overall, Ally Behavior is a dynamic, fun, and rewarding place to work that offers superior growth and leadership opportunities in a supportive, engaging environment. We have a unique and collaborative culture that is driven by our diverse team of professionals and our core values of Serving Others, Treatment Excellence, All One Ally, Resourceful in Finding Solutions, and Striving to Grow. We are looking for someone to help us provide the best possible service to our clients!
Role Overview (and why it exists):
We are hiring a Chief of Staff to help lead this growth journey. This is an “outsized role” for a hungry, high-aptitude operator who wants to lead businesses and is eager to earn increasing responsibility quickly.
The Chief of Staff will be staffed on the company’s highest-impact initiatives - often ambiguous, cross-functional, and urgent. You will work closely with the executive team and have meaningful exposure to the CEO, while reporting to a key executive sponsor. This role is intentionally designed as a launchpad into senior leadership at Ally. We expect the person in this seat to earn increasing ownership quickly and to grow into a materially larger leadership role as the company scales.
This is not a “watch from the sidelines” job. It is not purely advisory. It is not “strategy decks and analysis only.” It is a role for someone with a do-whatever-is-necessary mindset: if the best way to win is to build the tracker, run the analysis, map the workflow, fix the handoff, sit with operators, draft the communications, and drive implementation - you will do that. Ally wants executives that run towards the problems, not away.
Key Responsibilities:
You’ll operate as a force multiplier for your executive sponsor and the leadership team. Owning initiatives end-to-end and personally driving deliverables to completion.
You will be “thrown” on to the projects that matter most to the business. Examples include:

Data-driven ABA therapy for young children
Ally Behavior Centers provides early intervention autism treatment for children 18 months to 6 years in the DC area, offering ABA therapy along with diagnostic evaluations, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. Therapies are data-driven with small caseloads to tailor plans and track progress; families bring children to the centers for targeted therapies and assessments, where clinicians build individualized treatment plans focused on communication, social skills, and early academic readiness. The company differentiates itself by prioritizing personalized, small-scale care over rapid expansion, aiming for high-quality support rather than becoming the largest provider. Its goal is to help each child reach their full communication and social potential and prepare them for academic success, while guiding families with comprehensive tools and guidance, with revenue from service fees.
