We are a global company, and our products—including mobile elevating work platforms, telehandlers, utility vehicles and accessories—can be found all over the world.

• Guide pricing strategy and monitor portfolio performance, including margin, market share, and competitive positioning.
• Lead successful product launches, including field trials, demonstrations, and go-to-market execution.
• Equip Sales and Service teams with the tools and messaging needed to clearly articulate value-based selling propositions.
• Engage directly with customers, dealers, and rental partners to validate strategy and identify growth opportunities.
• Coach and mentor team members while driving accountability and delivering measurable business results.
