Agricultural Market Developer
We are seeking a dynamic and results-driven Agricultural Market developer to drive our spare parts business within the agricultural sector. This is a strategic commercial role focused on acquiring new partners (independent workshops, dealers, and fleets) and increasing our "share of wallet" with existing customers.
The ideal candidate is a technical-commercial expert who understands the agricultural aftermarket, can build trust with mechanics, and possesses a "hunter" mentality to capture market share from both OEM and other aftermarket competitors.

- Conduct continuous competitor analysis, monitoring pricing, product range, and promotions from both OEMs and other aftermarket suppliers.
- Identify and report product range gaps and new opportunities to the purchasing and product management teams.
- Proactively identify, target, and acquire new customers, focusing on independent workshops, agricultural repair specialists, and spare parts distributors.
- Manage and grow existing accounts, developing strategies to increase their purchase frequency and product mix (share of wallet).
- Negotiate commercial agreements, including pricing structures, discount tiers, and promotional support.
- Develop and execute channel strategies tailored for dealers, workshops, and large agricultural fleets.
- Act as the primary technical expert for our product lines.
- Master our digital catalogs and cross-reference tools, demonstrating their value and accuracy to customers.
- Provide pre-sales technical support to mechanics and parts personnel, building confidence in the quality and compatibility of our parts.
- Collaborate with the marketing team to design and launch effective local promotions (e.g., "Harvest Season Filter Kits," "Off-Season Maintenance Deals").
How to succeed / Your profile
- 3-5+ years of experience in a commercial, technical, or business development role specifically within the agricultural spare parts aftermarket.

- A proven track record of achieving sales targets and acquiring new customers in a competitive B2B environment.
- Excellent interpersonal and negotiation skills. Must be able to communicate technical concepts clearly and build strong relationships with mechanics, workshop owners, and dealers.
- Self-motivated, proactive, resilient, and highly organized.
- Fluency in English and Italian is required
- Valid driver's license and willingness to travel extensively within the assigned territory.
