The Marketing Representative Development Program prepares new employees for a career of significant roles in John Deere's Equipment divisions.

Through three rotational assignments over a 15-18 month period, marketing reps develop company, product and customer knowledge.

Varied work assignments include experience with John Deere’s product lines, marketing and customer support activities, and the independent dealer organization.

There are two similarly structured career paths, Sales & Marketing or Customer & Product Support, that marketing reps choose based on education, interests and opportunity, which prepares employees for full-time positions in marketing & sales and customer & product support.

The marketing rep program includes three rotations: an initial 6-9 month assignment focused on developing product knowledge, a 3-4 month Regional Training Program instructor assignment training dealer personnel, and a 6-9 month assignment in a role that provides additional experience with the organization and product.

Projects focus on learning the product line and marketing, sales, and customer support processes, while working as an instructor at the Regional Training Program provides marketing reps with an opportunity to teach product strategy, features and benefits to dealer employees.

Following the third rotation, marketing reps are available to enter their first full-time position.

*Relocation is typically required for each rotational assignment as well as the full-time position.
