About the role
We are looking for a passionate and driven Customer Support Specialist to join our Auckland HQ-based team. This is your chance to be part of a positive disruption in the farming industry, directly shaping and impacting how Halter’s technology is used on thousands of farms around the world.
In the future, when we look back on farming and remember a time when farmers used to get cows in, plate metre pasture, put fences up, pull tillers… you’ll be able to say you played a pivotal role in that transformation. You’ll be part of an outstanding team, dedicated to making sure farmers get the most out of Halter.
Reporting directly to the Head of Customer Support, you’ll be the first point of contact for our farmers, providing a mix of proactive and reactive technical support and education as they learn to get the best out of Halter.
We’re looking for big thinkers who know how to get stuff done. People who are comfortable working in a dynamic environment where they’ll be challenged daily. We want people who are obsessed with helping our farmers succeed. To nail this role, you’ll need to learn quickly, use your initiative, and work well under pressure and tight deadlines.
This role is about two things: supporting Halter’s farmers all the way through the process to make their farms more productive and efficient, and building genuine, lasting relationships with them. These goals go hand in hand, and the best candidates will be motivated and excited to excel in both.
Our Office First Approach
There’s a reason you visit your friends in person, live with your family and don’t do dinners over Zoom. Humans are wired for connection. We believe a world-class, in-person office culture is the best way for high-performing teams.
Being office first is a core pillar of our culture. We believe in-person connections are key to driving your own growth, learning, impact, and building genuine long-lasting relationships. Strong relationships make it easier to disagree, give feedback, and do meaningful and aligned work. We don’t like having heaps of rules or policies, but this means having strong, trusted relationships is critical.
We’re office first, not office only. This means working from the office everyday is our default setting, but we flex when we need to. We have a high-trust culture, so everyone is trusted to do what’s best for Halter.
Our office vibe is something special, it’s hard to describe until you’re here, but people at Halter who have come from fully remote or hybrid companies say they could never go back - the high energy and spectacular people they are now surrounded by everyday makes work so enjoyable. Your growth, your learning and your impact is truly unlimited here, and a big part of that comes from being together solving problems, innovating, building context, and constantly learning from each other.
About Halter
At Halter, we’re on a mission to enable farmers and graziers to run the most productive and sustainable operations. Our customers are using Halter to break free from the time-intensive constraints of conventional practices. Imagine watching 500 cattle stand up and walk calmly towards their next break?

It's changing lives and transforming an industry. People join Halter to do meaningful work. By joining us you’ll be solving challenging problems within a talented team and a culture built for high performance. Our team out-think, out-work and out-care. We’re committed to delivering real change in the world - this isn’t easy, and in truth, we love that it’s hard. We’re backed to deliver on a mission that matters by Tier 1 investors including Bessemer Venture Partners, DCVC, Blackbird, Promus Ventures, Rocket Lab’s Peter Beck and Icehouse ventures.
