BCBA Clinical Leader Role at Centria - $105K+ in Columbus
Career & Market Insight
This role is a compelling opportunity for BCBAs who want to avoid the burnout common in in-clinic or high-travel field-based models. Centria's telehealth model addresses several structural pain points in ABA careers.
Compensation vs. market: The $105K base is at the upper end of the BCBA salary range nationally (median ~$75K–$90K per BACB and industry surveys). Add $12K+ in bonuses and a potential $10K sign-on, and total first-year compensation could approach $127K — well above average, particularly for a fully remote role.
Career development signals:
- Explicit mentorship pathway: mentoring junior BCBAs, clinical training leadership, and stepping into director-level roles are all mentioned.
- CEU stipends and paid CEU days protect your certification and signal that Centria views continuing education as a business priority, not a personal expense.
- Exposure to Practical Functional Assessment (PFA) and Skills-Based Treatment (SBT) keeps your clinical skills aligned with current best practices, which are increasingly in demand.
Green flags: No non-compete is a significant positive — it removes a major risk factor that plagues many ABA companies. Predictable caseloads and dedicated operations support are strong work-life balance indicators.
Watch for: The "up to $105,000" phrasing means entry-level candidates may start lower. Clarify starting salary expectations during the interview. Also confirm the specific market assignment early, as location affects both the $10K sign-on eligibility and your periodic travel commitment.
