Halter is on a mission to unlock more productive and sustainable farming and ranching.
The Role
The People Operations Coordinator will manage day-to-day operations for Australia and New Zealand teams, coordinating logistics and enhancing the employee experience in a dynamic, supportive environment.
Summary Generated by Built In
At Halter, we’re building world-class virtual fencing technology that transforms the way farmers and ranchers work. We tackle complex, real-world problems with technical solutions, helping farmers lift productivity, care for their animals, and farm more sustainably.
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.
About this role.
You’ll be our boots on the ground for the day-to-day people operations that keep our New Zealand and Australia teams running smoothly. This is a hands-on, operational role with broad exposure across People Operations, ideal for someone who cares deeply about doing an exceptional job, whatever the job.
This is a hands-on and varied role for someone early in their career, or making a career pivot. You’ll be hungry to get stuck in, work hard, and learn. Your character will really matter in this role - it’s critical that you bring joy, humility, a deep hunger to learn, and high standards for your own performance. We don’t care whether you have direct experience in this field. Instead, we’re looking for someone who excels at whatever they put their mind to - in the past, that might have looked like your studies, your sport, or a personal pursuit. You’ll be a weapon at organising and project management.
We’re creating this role because, as our team grows, there’s an increasing need for someone executing operational threads within our core markets. This work is essential to keeping our team humming and focused, while the systems and workflows that underpin them move along seamlessly.
In short, your day will be varied — with operational people threads, fleet management, and delivering awesome experiences for our New Zealand and Australia teams at the heart. You’ll be the ask-me-anything for our ANZ employees.
Key Responsibilities.
- People Logistics: Coordinate people-related logistics and operational threads, partnering closely with relevant functions to ensure the logistics that underpin our people are humming, and that people systems, information, and workflows are accurate and well maintained.
- Fleet Management: Coordinate the New Zealand and Australia fleet as the central person for ANZ fleet-related requests, documentation, and compliance. Ensure day-to-day needs are handled efficiently.
- People Experience: Help bring our culture to life by partnering with the People team to coordinate thoughtful, high-quality team moments, foster connection, and continuously improve how people experience work at Halter as we grow.
- This is a generalist role: Expect other responsibilities will pop up and you’ll be part of making it all happen.
A day in your life might look like.
- You’re early because it’s a new starter’s first day and you want to welcome them at the door. You have their desk ready, merch assigned and laptop provisioned, everything is sorted for them to hit the ground running.
- You open the merch cupboard - wow, it’s impossible to find what you’re after. You add a note to your list to order the chaos.
- It’s 10am. A fleet management request that needed to be dealt with immediately has derailed your day. You don’t mind - it was the most important thing to prioritise, and you’re stoked to have sorted a practical solution.
- You overhear the Hardware team chatting about how much they’ve been craving some mini hotdogs and make a mental note to order some of those delicious things for the next Friday drinks.
- These fleet requests are coming in thick and fast - insurance, license plates, the list goes on. You’re all over what needs to get done, and you’re getting it done.
- You remember tomorrow is someone in the team’s birthday - you remind their manager and let them know you’ve got some balloons in the cupboard they can use to decorate their desk with.
We're looking for someone who.
- Strong operational and project management ability - proven experience executing in fast-moving, ambiguous environments.
- High awareness and empathy - you’re great at reading between the lines and putting yourself in the shoes of others. A mindset of unreasonable hospitality - you apply a customer-service mindset toward employees.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills, and a deep care for the details.
- Excellent judgement and discernment - you are thoughtful, high-integrity and trustworthy.
- Systems thinker - you love building clear processes and systems that drive efficiency.
