Kane Selection Ltd is representing a top-performing John Deere Construction and Forestry dealer with a strong footprint across its territory. The business is seeking a Used Equipment Manager to take full ownership of the used equipment operation across the company.

This is a senior, individual-contributor role based at the Mobile corporate location. The position sits alongside branch and sales leadership and acts as a commercial resource to the new equipment sales team. The role is steady-paced, relationship-driven, and long-term in nature, with limited travel and high autonomy.

This role owns the used equipment lifecycle across a multi-location dealer business. The successful candidate will:

• Own the full P&L for used equipment across the business
• Set and control values on all incoming trade-ins
• Manage used equipment inventory levels, aging, and disposition strategy
• Drive consistent and disciplined equipment turn
• Act as the valuation authority for new equipment sales
• Support front-end deal profitability through effective trade strategy
• Source used equipment for resale opportunities where appropriate
• Manage disposition through dealer channels, direct sales, and auctions
• Develop and maintain auction relationships
• Work closely with branch leadership, sales management, and corporate leadership
• Operate independently with minimal oversight once established

To succeed in this role, you will need:

• Experience managing used equipment within a dealer, broker, or fleet environment
• Strong trade evaluation and valuation expertise
• Understanding of auctions and secondary market channels
• A disciplined, commercially minded approach to inventory and risk
• Comfort operating in a relationship-led, lower-bureaucracy business culture
• A steady, long-term mindset rather than a change-agent profile

Senior sales professionals seeking a stable, non-travel-heavy role are a strong fit.

This is a full-time, permanent role offering long-term career growth. A competitive compensation package, benefits, and relocation support are provided. The company values trust, initiative, and a hands-on, customer-first approach.
