Lead Product Specialist

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.

• Travelling across Australia to spend time with Product Specialists, understand regional challenges and ensure the team has the support it needs.

• Helping shape the longer-term strategy, structure and capability of the Product Specialist function as Halter continues to grow.

What we're looking for

• Proven experience leading, coaching or developing high-performing teams, ideally in agriculture, agritech, technology or a related industry.

• Strong agricultural knowledge and practical farming experience, with a genuine understanding of Australian farming systems, livestock management and the challenges farmers face.

• A natural people leader who genuinely enjoys developing others, providing feedback and helping teams succeed.

• Strong technical curiosity and the ability to understand complex products, systems and technologies.

• Experience working cross-functionally and building strong relationships with different teams and stakeholders.
