General Manager - Collision

Build the Future of a High-Performance Collision Center

Our client is looking for a driven, tech-savvy General Manager to lead operations and help scale our collision repair business.

If you thrive in fast-paced environments, love improving systems, and want real ownership over business results, this role offers a unique opportunity to lead and grow a high-performing shop.
