The Role
About the role

- Contribute to improving the broader deployment process to deliver an exceptional experience for ranchers.
- Work cross-functionally across teams to deliver the best outcomes for our farmers and ranchers.
Who are we looking for
- The ability to meticulously manage projects from start to finish.
- Someone who is proficient with using Google Workspace and has the ability to learn software products quickly e.g. surveying tools.
- Exceptional verbal and written communication skills; you will be coordinating with team members and contractors in various regions.
- Great attention to detail, you will need to ensure work carried out by contractors and casual employees is to a high standard and completed on time.
- Excellent time management skills, you will need to prioritise jobs effectively and will be working to tight turn around times.
- A proactive thinker who can identify opportunities and action process improvements.
- Experience using tools such as Virtual Surveyor, ASANA or similar project management tools and radio frequency planning software would be a bonus.
- The right person with an exceptional attitude will be able to learn the required technical skills to succeed. So, if you’re excited by this role, we strongly encourage you to apply.

Our Office First Approach
There’s a reason you visit your friends in person, live with your family and don’t do dinners over Zoom. Humans are wired for connection. We believe a world-class, in-person office culture is the best way for high-performing teams.
Being office first is a core pillar of our culture. We believe in-person connections are key to driving your own growth, learning, impact, and building genuine long-lasting relationships. Strong relationships make it easier to disagree, give feedback, and do meaningful and aligned work. We don’t like having heaps of rules or policies, but this means having strong, trusted relationships is critical.
We’re office first, not office only. This means working from the office everyday is our default setting, but we flex when we need to. We have a high-trust culture, so everyone is trusted to do what’s best for Halter.
Our office vibe is something special, it’s hard to describe until you’re here, but people at Halter who have come from fully remote or hybrid companies say they could never go back - the high energy and spectacular people they are now surrounded by everyday makes work so enjoyable. Your growth, your learning and your impact is truly unlimited here, and a big part of that comes from being together solving problems, innovating, building context, and constantly learning from each other.
