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.

We are searching for a Account Manager to support and grow Halter across Mid Canterbury, partnering with farm owners.
This is a chance to work with some of Halters stand out farming businesses in the South Island, and to help them unlock measurable outcomes across their farm.
You will be the primary partner for your farmers and their team. You will build deep, trust‑based relationships, make sure Halter is driving real business outcomes, and own retention, renewals, and growth across the farms.
This role is different from a typical Account Management role at Halter. Success will be driven by how well you coordinate across sites, align multiple stakeholders, and help farm owners and their teams make decisions consistently across their operations. This role does not sit with our corporate team and will work alongside our owner operator Account Management team.
Location note: This role is ideally based in Christchurch / Ashburton. Frequent travel around the region is a core (and fun) part of the job.

Own the retention, renewals, and expansion for Halter’s existing revenue across your portfolio.
Build and execute an expansion plan across farms within each parent organisation, including sequencing, stakeholders, timelines, and clear value outcomes.
Multi‑farm account management
Run a parent‑level account plan and ensure each farm within the group has clear goals, a success plan, and the right support.
Maintain a single view of health, benchmarking and value across each farm group, while still being present and practical on each farm.
Deployment & onboarding (at scale)
Support onboarding, training, and implementation of the Halter system across multiple farms.
Ensure owners, operations managers, and farm teams are set up for success.
When multiple farms are onboarding at once, lead structured, high‑touch rollout days.
Relationship building across stakeholders
Build relationships from owners and decision makers through to farm operations managers and farm workers.
Proactively cultivate genuine and trustworthy relationships with farmers, their teams, and families.
Farmer success & outcomes
Partner with customers to set clear business goals, timelines, priorities, and metrics of success at both farm and parent‑organisation level.
Make sure Halter is driving outcomes across productivity, labour efficiency, and day‑to‑day execution.
Problem solving & support
Provide prompt and effective communication and support, helping customers navigate operational change and technical challenges with calm, practical leadership.
Community & networking
Represent the Halter brand with pride.
Build strong local networks and help create community touchpoints (for example, discussion groups and local events).
Customer advocate
Act as the voice of the customer and bring context from the field to our product and wider Halter teams.
Significant Account Management experience
Proven experience managing a portfolio of accounts, driving renewals, and growing accounts through value delivery.
Comfort owning commercial outcomes and navigating complex stakeholders.
Deep farm systems knowledge
Strong understanding of dairy and South Island farm operating rhythms.
Practical knowledge of how decisions get made and implemented across farm teams.
Ability to work across roles and levels
You can work effectively with owners, farm operations managers, and farm workers.

Strong, trusted relationships with the owners and teams across your farm groups
100% retention across your portfolio

Measuring and proving Halter’s measurable impact on customer performance
