3 weeks ago

Hamilton, Waikato, New Zealand Halter Full time
Are you ready to build relationships and advocate with senior stakeholders in industry about the most transformative farming technology in New Zealand? This is not your usual role.
We're looking for an exceptional strategic relationship manager who is passionate about dairy farming.
You've successfully delivered value in the industry before at a strategic level.
However, you have unfinished business.
Maybe you've been looking for a product that's transforming an industry or a company that matches your ambition.
Well, timing is everything - this is that special role you've been searching for.
About The Role Halter is one of the world's fastest growing agritech companies, and the most transformative technology available to dairy and beef farmers.
With Halter's cattle collars and app, farmers can virtually fence and safely guide their cattle through their mobile phone, as well as monitor cattle health, fertility and location.
Our customers run more productive and sustainable farms, while caring for their animals.
You will work closely with key stakeholders in industry and the government to advocate for Halter and our customers.
You will partner very closely with our premier government relations advisory team on our engagement strategy and delivery.
Halter is changing lives for thousands of farmers.
Reporting to the VP of Strategic Relations, this is a rare opportunity to deliver meaningful impact for the benefit of an industry.
Location: Waikato - amongst our customer base and a manageable driving distance to our Auckland office.
A bonus if you have close access to a dairy farm with Halter or would consider getting Halter on a farm that you have a connection to, in order to be close to the product.
This role requires frequent travel around New Zealand (Waikato, Auckland, Wellington, South Island), so proximity to an airport is necessary.
Key Responsibilities: Advocacy - You'll deeply understand and communicate how the Halter system works and the benefits for farmers and the industry.
You'll form strong relationships with many Halter customers to understand their operations, how they use Halter, and the value they get with Halter.
You'll host stakeholders at customer farms and showcase their success and the broader benefits to the industry.
Stakeholder engagement & relationship management - Develop and maintain strategic relationships with key stakeholders in the industry and government, including industry bodies, leading organisations in the dairy and beef industries, senior politicians, and government agencies.
Strategy & delivering value - Deliver on our engagement strategy by working closely with our premier government relations advisory team.
You will deliver tangible value by leveraging the relationships you've built externally.
Spokesperson - Attend and present at events in the dairy and beef industries, strengthening cross-industry support.
Attend government events and meetings in Wellington.
Independent research partnerships - Manage relationships and scope research projects with independent agricultural research institutions in ANZ.
Identify commercial opportunities - Identify potential commercial opportunities for Halter that may arise, such as partner farms or commercial/product partnerships.
Other duties that may arise, for example, infrequent trips to Australia.
Core role requirements: Experience delivering value in the NZ dairy industry.
You're passionate about dairy farming and you're a natural host on a dairy farm.
Influencer & Communicator - You're an influential communicator and presenter with examples of presenting effectively to large audiences.
Proactive & Self-Directed - You have a proven track record of working in a highly self-directed, proactive, resourceful way to deliver tangible value.
Bonus Experience (not Essential For You To Apply): You have close access to a dairy farm with Halter or would consider getting Halter on a farm that you have a connection to.
Experience in either a senior business development role, relationship management, or a farm management role in the dairy industry.
Experience working with a scale-up or disruptive and innovative technology company.
Why our team loves working at Halter: Every now and again a company comes along that disrupts and transforms an entire industry, leaving society in a better place.
Our product changes the lives of our customers, directly improving their livelihoods and lifestyle.
Dedicate yourself to solving real-world problems alongside an epic team in a high-growth culture.
State-of-the-art, dog-friendly office that's been thoughtfully designed right in the heart of Auckland city.
Healthy body, healthy mind.
We're partnered with Southern Cross Health Insurance to support your well-being.
We offer 6 months of fully paid parental leave for primary caregivers and many other parental benefits.
Our personal growth is important.
Halter offers an annual $1000 self-development budget.
Our time to recharge is valued, we're offered wellness leave and unlimited paid annual leave.
We offer an inclusive and attractive remuneration package made up of salary, benefits and an employee stock ownership plan.
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.
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.
