Halter is a New Zealand based tech scale-up, and has a $165 million valuation after our Series D funding. This funding was led by global technology investment firm Bond, whose portfolio includes Airbnb, Facebook, and Spotify. Halter is now the leading operating system for running a dairy or beef farm, combining solar-powered smart collars for each cow, connectivity towers, and a powerful mobile app that allows farmers to manage their cattle and pasture from their phone. Using sound and vibration cues, the system enables farmers to guide and move cattle, set virtual fences, and monitor their herds 24/7 - transforming daily operations and driving major gains in efficiency, safety, and sustainability. At Halter, we’re building world-class virtual fencing technology that transforms the way farmers and ranchers work. We tackle complex, real-world problems with technical solutions, helping farmers lift productivity, care for their animals, and farm more sustainably.

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Talent Specialist to join our People and Culture team. This is a great role for someone who’s passionate about finding great talent and working across various markets. We fundamentally believe the biggest driver of company success will be the speed and quality of our hiring. It sets the foundation for everything else that we do to achieve our ambitious mission.

This role will be based in our Auckland City office. 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.
