This is a field-based position covering the Southeastern U.S.; relocation assistance is available for non-local hires.
What you'll do:
- Deliver technical support and herd health consultation to dairy producers, with an emphasis on data-driven, farm-specific solutions that identify improvement opportunities and appropriate pharmaceutical interventions.
- Analyze herd and operational data from farm software (e.g., DC305 and other dairy technologies) to diagnose drivers of performance, build economic models, and generate clear, actionable recommendations for producers.
- Build and maintain strong relationships with dairy producers, veterinarians and other industry stakeholders to understand needs and tailor solutions that drive measurable results.
- Serve as the company's interface with academic, government and private research partners, bringing new dairy technology and analytic approaches into practical use.
- Train sales teams and customers on product use, data interpretation, and decision-support tools to accelerate adoption and improve on-farm outcomes.
- Support sales and marketing through customer visits, group presentations, scientific knowledge transfer, development of technical bulletins, webinars and other outreach activities.
- Travel regularly (approximately 50% or more), prioritizing high-value customer engagements and opportunities with strong ROI.
What we're looking for:
- Education: D.V.M. and/or Ph.D. in Animal Science with a dairy focus.
- Experience: Minimum 5 years in dairy veterinary practice or animal science with substantial experience in data analysis and/or economic modeling.
- Technical skills: Proficiency with dairy data tools and software (DC305 or comparable platforms) and the ability to convert data into practical management recommendations.
- Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to present technical concepts clearly to producers, vets and sales teams.
- Collaboration: Strong interpersonal skills, experience working cross-functionally, and a track record of building trusted customer relationships.
Preferred:
