About our Business Development roles
Farmers with Halter are writing the playbook for a world-first farming system, they are paving a new way of managing their land and animals, and in doing so, are unlocking more productive and sustainable uses of the world's agricultural land along with driving optimal profitability outcomes.
Halter helps farmers to grow more grass and graze their land more efficiently while driving mating performance and monitoring every cow 24/7. We have removed many of the barriers farmers face on a day-to-day basis. Halter farmers don't need to get up at 4am to get the cows in, put up a fence, measure pasture, or detect heats… they do all of this automatically and more proactively through the Halter App. They can schedule their mobs to meet them at the dairy for milking, run as many mobs as they want, and allocate precisely the right amount of feed. Welcome to farming with Halter!
We are always searching for tenacious sales hunters to lead Halter's expansion across existing and new markets in New Zealand. Whether you're new to sales, have some experience or vast experience, we're open to people who are driven, have a passion for farming, driving meaningful change and possess strong emotional intelligence.
This is an opportunity to positively disrupt an industry and pioneer groundbreaking change on some of the highest-performing dairy & beef farms. You will be leading expansions for one of the world's fastest-growing companies by helping equip farms with Halter technology that will transform the way they farm to become leaders in productivity and sustainability. You will be working closely with a passionate Customer team on the ground in the area and backed by a team of exceptional people at Halter's Auckland HQ, to ensure this is the best & highest-impact job you'll ever have.
