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?

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.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re looking for a motivated, hands-on Fleet Ops Manager to lead our fleet operations on the ground in South America. When we say Fleet, we mean the hardware - collars and towers that are what makes us Halter. This is a rare opportunity to build something genuinely new, leading a team and getting Halter up and running in a region with enormous potential for cattle producers.

You’ll own the operational system for the region from the ground up. That means leading and developing a team of Fleet Ops Specialists, owning the maintenance system, and making sure our hardware infrastructure runs without a hitch. You’ll be the first point of escalation when things get tricky in the field, and the person who makes sure the right people are in the right place at the right time.

South America is a critical and exciting market for us. You’ll help us understand the unique nuances of cattle production in the region and feed those learnings back to our product and engineering teams in Auckland. What you and your team learn in the field will directly shape what we build next.

You’ll work closely with dedicated teams in South America, the United States, and at Halter’s Auckland HQ. You’ll play a key role in making sure our pioneering producers in the region get an unmatched experience from day one.

WHAT YOUR DAY COULD LOOK LIKE

• Lead and develop your team: Lead, coordinate, and support a team of Fleet Ops Specialists across day-to-day operations. Support their growth, give great feedback, and help them focus on what matters.

• Performance management: Own performance management for your team. Set clear expectations, hold people accountable, and help everyone do their best work.

• Planning and scheduling: Plan and schedule team workloads to make sure the right people are in the right place at the right time across the region.

• Recruitment: Lead recruitment activities to keep the team resourced and all roles filled across South America.

• First point of escalation: Be the go-to person when things get tricky in the field. Help your team find solutions quickly and keep operations moving.

• Own the maintenance system: Build out, improve, and own the maintenance system for the South American
