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

Halter is on a mission to bring the world's farming onto a smarter, more sustainable platform - and getting there means hiring a lot of brilliant people, fast, without losing what makes Halter, Halter. That's where this role comes in.

We're looking for our first-ever VP Talent: someone who can set the strategy that takes Halter to thousands of people by 2028, and stay close enough to the ground to make sure every candidate - whether they're in Denver, Buenos Aires, Taranaki or Auckland - has an exceptional experience. You'll own talent end to end: early careers, company-wide hiring, and executive search, from first sourcing message through to signed offer.

You'll be leading a large multi-functional team (15+ and growing), so this role is as much about people leadership and execution intelligence as it is about strategy. You'll build the culture, systems, and operational rigour that let a team that size move fast without losing quality. And you'll do it as a genuine partner to the Executive team - shaping the hiring strategy, not just executing it.

It's a rare opportunity: building a strong existing foundation into a world-class function, with real influence over how Halter scales, and a seat at the table where those decisions get made.
