The future of food production hinges on an important question: How do we feed the world’s growing population without compromising our natural resources? Both dairy and beef farmers feed our population and hold the keys to vital climate solutions. At Halter, we’re on a mission to enable farmers to run the most productive and sustainable farms. Farmers are using Halter to break free from the time-intensive constraints of conventional farming. They’re growing more grass, increasing milk production and/or helping their cattle gain more weight (for beef farming) and improving the health and well-being of their cows.
We bridge deep tech into farming. Halter enables farmers to remotely shift, virtually fence and proactively monitor their cows’ health and behaviour. Can you imagine watching 500 cows or cattle walk calmly towards the milking shed or their next break? No quad bikes, no dogs, no fences. Just a mob of cows walking at their own pace. People say it looks like magic. Our customers are revolutionising farming with Halter. It's changing lives and transforming an industry.
People join Halter because they want 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,

About the role
We are searching for an exceptional Regional General Manager to lead the growth of Halter’s North Island Business, covering the full customer cycle (from new sales through to customer success). We’re looking for someone with commercial nous, X-factor, charisma and the ability to overcome complex challenges. This is a rare opportunity to play a pivotal role in leading the region's growth into the hundreds of millions of ARR.
Could be a bit of you? You’ll be excited by exponential growth, and feel right at home leading on ambitious strategies. When the pressure is on in the biggest moments, you’ll be someone who wants to be in the game. You might find yourself juggling time on farm with customers, coaching and developing your team, through to driving growth strategy and cross-functional priorities within Halter. You’ll be masterful at building trusting relationships, and managing a team and enjoy advocating for customers while bringing a solutions-oriented mindset to the table.
This isn’t a typical role. This is a high-stakes role, spearheading Halter’s growth in the North Island.
Aside from jumping on the Halter roller coaster, you will be making a real world impact, making farming more productive and sustainable. You will build relationships across New Zealand's most influential farming leaders while working closely with senior leaders and the exec team within Halter.
Up for the challenge? Let’s talk.
This role can either be based in Auckland or Waikato.
