People & Performance Partner

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 Founders Fund, Bessemer Venture Partners, BOND, DCVC, Blackbird, Promus Ventures, Rocket Lab’s Peter Beck and Icehouse ventures.

At Halter, we're on a mission to enable farmers and ranchers to run the most productive and sustainable operations on earth. Argentina is one of our most important next frontiers. We're entering the market with high ambition and a small team that needs to move fast, learn quickly, and build trust from the ground up. We're hiring a People & Performance Partner to build the people foundation from zero to one.

You'll partner with local leaders and the global P&P team to stand up the core people infrastructure for a new market — then keep raising the bar as the team scales.

In practice, that means:

• Establishing people processes, leadership rhythms, documentation, and workflows for a high-performing new market team

• Coaching managers through feedback, performance conversations, development, and early employee relations matters

• Owning onboarding quality so new starters understand the mission, operating model, and cultural bar from day one

• Running people logistics — systems, documentation, compliance, and employee information

• Supporting market-entry operations: office setup, field-team logistics, local vendor coordination, fleet and vehicle processes

• Staying close to the ground and feeding signal back to People, Talent, Commercial, and leadership

Responsibilities will evolve. This is an early-stage role — you'll be part of making the whole thing work.

You're a high-judgment operator who builds trust quickly, stays calm in complexity, and brings clarity to ambiguous situations. You can challenge managers directly, handle hard conversations without flinching, and hold a high performance bar without losing fairness or care.

You know how to build from scratch. You don't need perfect systems to get started. You notice when things are missing or unclear — and you fix them. You bring absolute ownership to the work: you don't wait to be asked, you see what needs to happen and you make it happen.

Most importantly, you're genuinely connected to the mission. The farmers, ranchers, and animals at the heart of Halter's work aren't an abstraction to you — they're the reason the bar stays high.

• Experience in a People Partner, HRBP, or generalist people role

• Strong judgment across performance, manager coaching, and employee relations

• Experience building people processes, workflows, and operating rhythms

• Operational discipline and attention to detail

• Clear, direct communication in Spanish and English

• Cultural fluency in Argentina and/or Uruguay

• Comfort in fast-moving, high-standards environments

• Grit, humility, and a bias toward action

• Like building before things are fully defined

• Can move between strategic thinking and hands-on execution

• Give and receive feedback directly — and help build a culture where others do the same

• Believe people experience and performance are mutually reinforcing, not in tension

• Are willing to challenge leaders when the standard is slipping

• Want to help shape the culture of a new market from day one

The first people systems in a new market shape everything that follows. If we get this right, local hires will understand Halter's mission and standards from day one, managers will lead with clarity, and the team will move fast without creating people, compliance, or culture debt.

This role helps make that happen. You'll be one of the people responsible for ensuring Halter's Argentine team isn't just hired — but built well.
