Head of Corporate Sales (AU)

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.

We are searching for a driven and skillful Head of Corporate Accounts to work alongside and grow Halter’s Corporate accounts across Australia in both Beef and Dairy sectors. We’re looking for someone with commercial nous, X-factor and the ability to overcome complex negotiations. Could be a bit of you?
You’ll be a hunter at heart, chasing and growing the largest accounts. When the pressure is on in the biggest moments, you’ll be someone that wants to be in the game. You might find yourself in a boardroom in Brisbane negotiating a multi-million dollar contract one day, reporting key KPI’s to a GM the next day, upskilling and training your team the next and in the stockyards by Friday. You’ll be exceptional at aligning a team around a strategy, in order to deliver undeniable results to customers, that makes future business a no-brainer. You’ll be at all levels of a farming org, able to masterfully share context and build trusting relationships.
This isn’t a typical role.

You will build relationships across Australia's most influential farming leaders, while working closely with senior leaders and the exec team within Halter.

Halter entered Tasmania two years ago and has rapidly expanded to now have 20% of the state's dairy herd with Halter - a thriving customer base managed by a talented, local team. Halter recently entered Queensland and NSW, and now has a growing team and customer base across both states.
In Victoria and South Australia, Halter is preparing to launch operations following recent regulatory approval for virtual fencing. In Western Australia, Halter does not yet have customers. In these states there is a groundswell of demand for Halter across thousands of farmers. In Australia, virtual fencing is regulated by individual states' animal welfare legislation. Until recently, several states had legislation that did not permit farmers to use high-quality virtual fencing technology. With NSW parliament's announcement regulating virtual fencing, and Victoria and South Australia following suit, these barriers are now lifting.

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!
