Who We Are

At John Deere, our work shapes the world around us – from the infrastructure we rely on, to the machines that keep industries moving.
Our Construction & Forestry (C&F) business supports customers who operate in demanding, high pressure environments, where uptime, reliability and performance matter every day.
We’re proud of our values – Integrity, Quality, Humanity, Commitment and Innovation – and we’re equally proud of the people who bring them to life.

 

 

The Opportunity

This is a high‑impact, commercially focused role for someone who thrives in customer‑ and dealer‑facing environments and wants to directly influence aftermarket performance. As C&F Aftermarket Lead, you will own and grow Parts, Service and Aftermarket Kit performance across your territory. You’ll partner closely with dealers and internal teams to identify growth opportunities, remove execution barriers, and lift aftermarket capability and results.

The role begins with strengthening core fundamentals and evolves into leading growth across more complex aftermarket categories as the business scales.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

  • Leading the C&F aftermarket dealer portfolio across the assigned territory, partnering with multiple dealers to drive consistent commercial outcomes.
  • Driving territory‑wide aftermarket revenue growth through improved parts capture, service uptake, and aftermarket kit conversion.
  • Building and executing dealer‑specific growth plans at scale using John Deere aftermarket tools and insights, in partnership with internal stakeholders.
  • Analysing territory performance to identify systemic opportunities and blockers, converting data and dealer feedback into targeted actions.
  • Improving aftermarket profitability through strategic inventory evaluation and optimisation to support current and future demand.
  • Reviewing dealer inventory positions to identify slow‑moving or misaligned stock and partnering with dealers to reset inventory strategies.
  • Embedding repeatable dealer processes to increase participation, order activity, and sustainable sales results across the network.
  • Contributing to the design and optimisation of aftermarket programs, including pricing, utilisation and effectiveness, in collaboration with pricing and marketing teams.
  • Driving clear, consistent dealer communication to support adoption of aftermarket programs and initiatives.
  • Lifting dealer capability by identifying common training needs and partnering with the Training Team to deliver practical aftermarket sales training.
  • Enhancing customer experience at scale by partnering with parts fulfilment and logistics teams on execution, escalations and service recovery.
  • Representing and supporting C&F through dealer engagement, events and industry associations to strengthen relationships and build sales momentum.

About You

 

You’re commercially minded, confident working autonomously, and comfortable operating where not everything is clearly defined.

What you bring today:

  • Dealer or customer facing sales experience, ideally within construction, equipment or heavy industry
  • Strong commercial and analytical capability, including confidence using Excel and data to analyse performance, inventory and growth opportunities
  • Solid aftermarket exposure, with working knowledge of parts and service environments
  • Proven ability to influence without authority and build strong relationships across dealers and internal stakeholders
  • A confident, self‑driven mindset with the energy to take initiative and move the needle

What sets you up for the future:

  • Comfort working in ambiguity, where priorities shift and decisions rely on judgment rather than process
  • Ability to identify short‑term wins and longer‑term parts growth opportunities, and translate them into annual growth plans, campaigns and category strategies
  • Capability to lead growth in more complex parts categories over time, supported by strong data analysis (forecasting, dealer segmentation, pricing and gap analysis)
  • A collaborative, small‑team mindset, acting as a connector across functions to drive aligned outcomes
  • Strong emotional intelligence and resilience, remaining reflective and solutions‑focused under dealer pressure, with a long‑term belief in the C&F opportunity for John Deere and its dealers

If you have the experience outlined above, and the passion to succeed, we would love to hear from you!
