About CRV
At CRV, we’re proud to be at the forefront of innovation in the dairy industry. As a global leader in herd improvement with operations across Europe, North and South America, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand, our mission is simple: to help dairy farmers build healthy, efficient herds through cutting-edge genetics and expert support.
We partner with farmers to provide world-class genetic tools and insights that help them meet their unique goals. With a strong focus on innovation and adaptability, we’re committed to delivering solutions that respond to evolving industry needs — here in New Zealand and around the world.
About the Role
Are you seeking a role that offers variety, autonomy, and the chance to make a genuine impact on New Zealand’s primary sector?
CRV is looking for a driven, self-motivated sales professional with a solid background in dairy farming and a passion for helping farmers succeed through tailored genetic solutions.
As part of a small, agile team backed by a global network of experts, you’ll enjoy both independence and the support of international specialists.
This is your opportunity to contribute to a future-focused organisation making a real difference on-farm.
Key Responsibilities
- Promote and represent CRV’s range of genetic products and services.
- Collaborate with dairy farmers to develop and implement customised breeding plans.
- Provide ongoing post-sales support to ensure customers meet their herd improvement goals.
Location: The sales territory for this role is the Central & Southern Southland region, so ideally the successful candidate would be located in a central position to service these areas.
What We Offer
- Stability – Join a global organisation with long-term career potential.
- Competitive package – Salary plus performance-based incentives.
- Perks – Company vehicle (for personal use), fully subsidised health insurance (for you and your family), and income protection cover.
- Work-life balance – 37.5-hour work week with flexible hours.
- Development – Access to industry training and professional growth opportunities.
- Support – A team environment across the business that fosters trust, collaboration and a shared sense of purpose that helps everyone succeed.
About You
You’ll bring a deep understanding of the NZ dairy sector, including seasonal cycles and on-farm decision-making. While experience in hands-on dairy farming, animal breeding or genetics is advantageous, it’s not essential — a curious mindset and eagerness to learn are key.
You’ll also demonstrate:
- Strong self-management, planning, and organisational skills.
- Confidence in communicating the value of CRV’s solutions to farmers.
- A collaborative approach to relationship-building across teams and with customers.
- Proficiency in digital tools and attention to administrative detail.
- A successful track record in rural sales is highly desirable.
If you're a people-focused professional with a passion for dairy farming and a drive to deliver exceptional service, this could be the perfect next step in your career.
Applicants for this position must be eligible to work in NZ.
