Everest People is thrilled to partner with Afimilk once again. Afimilk believes that responsible agriculture and profitable agriculture are one and the same.

About the role

As Afimilk’s Customer Support Specialist, you will work alongside farmers, the Afimilk sales team and dealerships to provide on-going pre-sales and post-sales support. This role is all about ensuring dairy farmers understand how to navigate AfiFarm software to best manage their herds efficiently and sustainably.

This is a role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, loves solving problems, and knows how to connect with people — especially farmers.

You’ll become the go-to expert on Afimilk’s farm management software (AfiFarm), helping farmers get the most out of their technology. You’ll deliver hands-on training, troubleshoot challenges, and collaborate with both local and international teams to ensure every farmer feels confident, supported, and heard.

While you’ll work remotely from your home office, you’ll spend a good portion of your time out on the road, visiting farms across the South Island, and occasionally supporting events, dealer visits or team meetings in other regions. You will:

• Be a trusted AfiFarm expert – understanding the software inside out and how it impacts day to day dairy operations.
• Provide exceptional pre and post sales support to farmers and dealers – via phone, online, or in person.
• Support Afimilk’s dairy farmers with training sessions (one-on-one and group) and deliver webinars and presentations so they gain the most value from Afimilk’s monitoring, automation and milking intelligence solutions.
• Tackle service calls and tech queries by listening deeply, analysing the issue and tailoring solutions that work.
• Be the face of Afimilk, represent the business and brand at field days, conferences, industry events and trade shows – sharing our story and supporting our customers.
• Report and collaborate closely with Afimilk’s Application Support Manager for NZ & AUS to ensure all Afimilk farmers and dealers are happy and well-supported.
• Work closely with the Afimilk Sales team across New Zealand to assist with pre-sales presentations to individual or groups of farmers.
• Create visual training content - articles, tutorials, brochures and presentations to empower farmers to use our tools effectively.
• Keep everything organised via our CRM (Salesforce), ensuring nothing slips through the cracks.
