As a Product Specialist at JCB Compact Products, you’ll play a pivotal role in driving customer engagement, product excellence, and supporting JCB’s wider strategic goals. This is a key position requiring a blend of commercial awareness and product expertise to strengthen our offering in a competitive market. You’ll act as a vital link between product development, sales, and customer support, helping to improve efficiency across the team and enhance both dealer and customer experience. By streamlining product enquiries and reducing time spent on troubleshooting, you’ll directly contribute to increased customer satisfaction, loyalty, and ultimately, sales growth.

• Working closely with Engineering and Operations to support sales specials and capture new product requirements
• Partnering with Marketing to develop high-quality product collateral, including literature, photoshoots, and videoshoots
• Delivering excellent product support and customer service to the dealer network via phone and digital channels

This will be suited to you if…

• You are degree qualified (or equivalent) and have strong organisational, planning, and communication skills
• You bring a commercial mindset, ideally supported by experience in agricultural or construction machinery (though this is desirable, not essential)
• You are proactive, curious, and motivated to continuously learn, contribute ideas, and drive improvements
• You may currently be working in an agricultural or construction environment and are looking to transition into a more commercially focused role
