Logistics 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.

About the role

Halter is the world’s leading provider of virtual fencing technology, on a mission to make 50% of the world’s land more productive and sustainable. We are building a world-first operating system that is transforming how farmers manage their land and animals. It is ambitious technology - but it only matters if it lands perfectly in the real world.

That is where the Logistics Specialist role comes in.

Every week, new farmers are joining Halter, chomping at the bit to receive their hardware and get started on the journey. Collars, towers, and accessories need to be packed, freight coordinated, and delivered on a rapid timeline. When a deployment runs well, it feels seamless. When it doesn’t, everyone feels it. We are looking for someone to come in and run our dispatch process like a clinic.

You will own the end-to-end flow of hardware going out to new customers. Think of yourself as the air traffic controller of our dispatch operation - directing traffic, clearing bottlenecks, spotting risks early, and keeping everything moving at pace. This role sits at the centre of operations. You will be the person who sees what is happening in real time and makes sure momentum never drops.

Key Responsibilities

• Coordinate and dispatch new hardware orders to farmers across all New Zealand regions

• Work closely with our 3PL partners, holding them accountable to speed and quality

• Manage timelines, track shipments, and proactively solve delivery issues

• Keep our internal teams aligned and informed

• Dive into the details when something doesn’t look right

• Continuously improve the dispatch process so it scales cleanly
  

You'll be a great fit if you

• Naturally take ownership (you don’t wait to be told something is stuck)

• Like running a tight ship and take pride in operational excellence

• Can zoom into the detail without losing sight of the bigger picture

• Are confident holding partners accountable

• Stay calm under pressure and enjoy high-tempo environments

• See problems as puzzles, not blockers
  

Why this role matters

Standards, speed, and getting it right for farmers matter deeply here. When deployment is sharp, disciplined, and thoughtful, everything downstream works better - from customer experience to cash flow to global expansion. If you are excited by the idea of building an operational engine that can scale globally - and being the person at the centre of making it world-class - we would love to hear from you!

There is real scope for this role to grow. As complexity increases, this could evolve into broader ownership across logistics, supply chain optimisation, international freight, inventory strategy, or operational leadership. If you’re ambitious, this is a front-row seat to building something that scales worldwide. This isn’t just about dispatching hardware - it is about building the engine that powers Halter’s global expansion. You will be directly involved in shaping and strengthening a world-class supply chain from the ground up. As we scale beyond New Zealand & into new markets, the systems, standards, and rhythms you help build will form the backbone of our global operations.

You won’t just execute a process - you’ll help design the future state. Maybe you have worked in logistics, supply chain, operations, warehousing, dispatch, or manufacturing. Maybe you have been the person who quietly keeps everything moving behind the scenes. This isn’t a passive coordination role. We are looking for someone with hunger.

Our Office First Approach

There’s a reason you visit your friends in person, live with your family and don’t do dinners over Zoom. Humans are wired for connection. We believe a world-class, in-person office culture is the best way for high-performing teams.

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.
