Are you ready to build relationships and advocate with senior stakeholders in industry about the most transformative farming technology in New Zealand? This is not your usual role. We’re looking for an exceptional strategic relationship manager who is passionate about dairy farming. You’ve successfully delivered value in the industry before at a strategic level. However, you have unfinished business. Maybe you’ve been looking for a product that’s transforming an industry or a company that matches your ambition. Well, timing is everything - this is that special role you’ve been searching for.
About the role
Halter is one of the world’s fastest growing agritech companies, and the most transformative technology available to dairy and beef farmers. With Halter’s cattle collars and app, farmers can virtually fence and safely guide their cattle through their mobile phone, as well as monitor cattle health, fertility and location. Our customers run more productive and sustainable farms, while caring for their animals. You will work closely with key stakeholders in industry and the government to advocate for Halter and our customers. You will partner very closely with our premier government relations advisory team on our engagement strategy and delivery. Halter is changing lives for thousands of farmers. Reporting to the VP of Strategic Relations, this is a rare opportunity to deliver meaningful impact for the benefit of an industry.
Location:
Working remotely from one of NZ’s biggest dairy hubs - preference for the Waikato (or greater Auckland) - alternatively could be in Christchurch. A bonus if you have close access to a dairy farm with Halter or would consider getting Halter on a farm that you have a connection to, in order to be close to the product. Frequent travel is required around NZ (to the Halter office in Auckland, to Wellington and to other Halter farms), so reasonable proximity to an airport is necessary.
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? No quad bikes, no dogs, no fences. Just a group of cattle walking at their own pace. People say it looks like magic. Our customers are revolutionizing grazing with Halter. 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.
