About JLG, An Oshkosh Company
JLG began in 1969, when our founder, John L. Grove set out to resolve growing safety concerns in the construction industry. Since then we have been committed to understanding the challenges and delivering innovative solutions to the access market. We partner with customers to provide quality equipment, training opportunities and trusted support within the access industry. 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.

This leader will act as the strategic hub across Engineering, Operations, Sales, Service, Marketing, and global teams—driving alignment, accelerating decision-making, and ensuring successful product execution from idea to market and throughout the lifecycle of their assigned product platform. Success in this role requires commercial acumen, technical curiosity, strategic thinking, and the ability to influence without authority in a complex global environment.
