Role Description
The Collision Instructor & Peer Group Facilitator delivers ATI's curriculum to independent collision shop owners and their teams, facilitates confidential peer advisory groups for collision shop owners and leaders, and hosts recurring member workshops on high-impact collision topics such as estimating and insurance-company negotiation. The position combines deep collision industry expertise with strong instructional and facilitation skills, translating complex business concepts into practical, immediately applicable knowledge for collision shop owners and their teams.
All three functions—instruction, facilitation, and workshop delivery—are core to the role. The relative balance between them is flexible and is expected to evolve over time as ATI's collision program grows.
