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

About the role
We’re looking for an epic Customer Support Specialist to join our Auckland HQ team. Support at Halter isn’t a call centre. It’s a team of problem-solvers who understand our farmers, our product, and how everything connects. We’re the glue between customers and every part of the business - from field teams to product, engineering, and operations.
We work both reactively and proactively, jumping in fast when something’s not right, and reaching out when farmers just need a hand or some guidance. When someone gets in touch, you’ll take ownership from start to finish, listening, understanding what’s needed, and working with teams across Halter to drive the best outcomes on farm. You show up every day ready to make a difference - for farmers, their animals, and your team.
This role offers the opportunity to build a deep understanding of Halter’s products and customers, with pathways for career growth across the company.
What your day could look like
Talking directly with farmers through chat, email, and phone - understanding what’s happening on farm and helping them get things back on track fast.
Troubleshooting issues and using data, tools, and your own judgment to solve problems that matter.
Spotting patterns and raising insights that help us improve how Halter works for farmers and animals.
Working closely with our field, onboarding, and product teams to make sure every customer experience is seamless.
Taking ownership from start to finish - following up, keeping farmers in the loop, and making sure nothing slips through the cracks.
Owning your performance metrics, including response times, satisfaction scores, and quality of support.
Getting out on farm - seeing Halter in action and understanding the real impact of your work.
This could be for you if
You care deeply about creating better outcomes for farmers and their animals.
You’re curious - you don’t stop at the first answer, you dig deeper to understand why.
You bring calm to chaos and stay steady under pressure.
You bring energy and joy to your work, and you like being part of a tight team that has each other’s backs.
You build strong relationships - with farmers, teammates, and the teams you work alongside.
You take ownership. If something needs doing, you do it.
You’re comfortable learning complex systems and using new tools.
You’re collaborative and enjoy working across different teams.
The details
Full-time, rostered across 7 days
Regular days off will be either Friday/Saturday or Sunday/Monday
Based in our Auckland HQ
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.
Join our team
Halter is committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive workplace — a place where we can each be ourselves and do the best work of our lives. Research shows that while men apply to jobs when they meet an average of 60% of the requirements, women and under-represented groups of candidates tend to only apply when they meet every requirement. If you think you have what it takes but don’t necessarily tick every requirement on this job description, please still get in touch and apply to Halter. We’d love to chat to see if you’ll be an epic fit!
If this opportunity sounds like you, please apply below by sending through your cover letter explaining why you’re excited about this role and working at Halter, along with your CV, and we’ll be in touch!
