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 Founders Fund, Bessemer Venture Partners, BOND, DCVC, Blackbird, Promus Ventures, Rocket Lab’s Peter Beck and Icehouse ventures.

About the role

This is our first in-house tax hire, and you'll join to own the tax function end to end. Income tax, GST, FBT and transfer pricing are already in motion across our entities, supported by a strong finance team and external advisors. What's missing is a single owner who can pull it all together, lift the standard, and build a function fit for a company that's scaling into new markets fast.

You'll sit within the Group Reporting team and own tax governance, compliance and strategy across every jurisdiction we operate in, and every one we're about to. The finance team runs much of the day-to-day mechanics, so this isn't a role built around preparing returns. You set the direction, own the risk, review what goes out the door and make sure the whole system holds together as we scale. That said, we're a lean team, and there will be times you need to get your hands dirty to get something done right.

You'll be the go-to for tax across the business, partnering with finance, legal, people and commercial teams, briefing senior leaders and management, and coordinating a global network of advisors. You won't need to be the expert in every market. You'll need to be the person who knows what questions to ask, who to ask them of, and how to land a clear answer with the business.

If you're a tax generalist who likes owning the whole picture, gets a kick out of building things properly, and can hold your own in a room of senior leaders, you'll feel at home here.
