BCBA Training Manager

Training Manager Job Description

The Training Manager assists in the development, coordination, and delivery of new hire orientation for R/BTs, BCBAs, and Licensed Psychologists, ensuring a supportive and comprehensive onboarding experience across all staff levels. The Training Manager must effectively coordinate and collaborate cross-functionally to ensure new hires have any necessary training from other Frontera departments (e.g., people operations, product, engineering, clinical operations, payor operations, etc.). 

This position fully owns FronteraCare's Behavior Technician (BT) and Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) training functions across all regions. This role directly supervises the Training Support Specialist and is expected to personally execute every part of that position – new hire orientation, module tracking, coaching, and onboarding logistics. Beyond day-to-day training delivery, the Training Manager builds and maintains the training curriculum, schedules and audits training quality across all locations, owns training data and reporting, and drives automation and process improvement across the training pipeline. This position reports to the Head of Clinical Training.
