Who we’re looking for: We’re backing potential over polish. These are the traits that matter most

• A great human first

• You bring integrity, humility, and care. You do what you say you’ll do. You show up for your farmers and your teammates.

• Lifelong learner mindset

• You’re genuinely curious. You ask questions, seek feedback, and are excited to keep levelling up alongside a world‑class team.

• Hunger and grit

• You love chasing ambitious goals, solving hard problems, and sticking with it when things get tough.

• Positive energy and team spirit

• You lift the people around you, not drain them. You enjoy collaborating, sharing ideas, and celebrating others’ wins as much as your own.

• Comfort in a fast‑moving environment

• You’re at your best when things are dynamic. You can work autonomously, manage your time well, and stay focused on what matters most.

• The ability to thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced working environment with a high degree of autonomy.

• A hunger for success and personal growth, and an eagerness to evolve alongside a world-class team.

And these pieces give you an advantage, but are not a prerequisite:

• 3-5 years of experience in relationship management/account management roles.

• Experience in dairy farming or within the agriculture sector with a deep passion for helping farmers succeed.

• Strong business and commercial acumen

Why our team loves working at Halter:

• Work that genuinely matters. Every now and again a company comes along that transforms an entire industry and leaves the world in a better place. Our team gets to be part of something truly meaningful, helping farmers improve their livelihoods, spend more time with their families, and build more sustainable operations.
