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.

THE ROLES
We’re hiring two partners: one to work with our Customer and Go to Market teams, and one to work with our Product and Engineering teams.
Both roles sit inside a team that takes people and performance seriously - not as an HR function on the periphery of the business, but as a genuine commercial partner within it. These are roles where the work is real and the impact is visible.
You’ll work closely with managers across your area in New Zealand to develop performance, strengthen leadership, and navigate complexity early. You’ll be close to the work and the people, not operating from a distance.
Day to day, that looks like: coaching managers through difficult conversations, handling early employee relations matters with confidence, spotting patterns before they become problems, and building clarity and accountability into how teams operate. You’ll carry signal up and bring perspective down.
- Customer and Go to Market: you’ll partner with the teams who sell to, onboard and support our farmers, where pace, targets and customer outcomes shape the work.
- Product and Engineering: you’ll partner with the teams who design and build Halter’s software, where technical depth, craft and team design shape the work.
You’ll report into the Head of Partnering for your area and work alongside a tight team of partners who operate the same way: with judgment, not just process.
WHAT WE'RE ACTUALLY LOOKING FOR
We’d love someone with HR experience, but we’re genuinely open to people who’ve developed these skills in less traditional ways. If you’ve spent time in roles that called for commercial judgment, clear communication, and navigating people challenges without a set playbook, we’d love to hear from you.
Beyond your background, what matters most is that:
- You think commercially.
- You’re comfortable holding high standards even when it’s easier not to.
- You can challenge someone directly and care personally.
- You move at pace, can make calls with incomplete information, and bring precision rather than process.
- You know the difference between signal and noise, and you bring the former.
Let us know which role you’re most drawn to - or if you’d be open to either.
