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. 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.

About the role

Due to an internal promotion, we're looking for an Marketing Events Specialist who’s great at doing one thing above all else: making things happen. This role’s about rolling up your sleeves and delivering events that connect with dairy and beef farmers in meaningful and down-to-earth ways. Halter is changing the way farming gets done - giving farmers better data, more control and time back for the things that matter.

Events play a huge role in how farmers experience Halter for the first time, who our team are and how we stay connected in the farming community. You’ll work closely with our NZ Marketing Manager, Global Events Manager, and wider sales and marketing teams to plan and deliver regional and national events - this includes on-farm field days and major industry events like Mystery Creek Field Days and regional expos.

If you love making things happen, being out on the farm learning from farmers to understand what great events could look like for them, and care deeply about great experiences, this role is for you. This role involves travel around New Zealand for events, and requires that you have a full New Zealand driver’s license.

What your day could look like

• Planning and coordinating events: You’ll be executing on events from start to finish. This means making sure timelines are on-track, booking venues, coordinating suppliers, organising travel and accommodation, managing merch and signage.

• Execution and logistics: On event days, you’ll support on-the-ground logistics to help everything run smoothly. This might include setting up spaces, managing registrations, coordinating suppliers, and helping troubleshoot any issues that come up. You’ll also support pre and post-event communications such as invitations, reminders, follow ups and surveys, working with the wider marketing team to make sure materials are clear, accurate and on-brand.

• Working cross-functionally with sales and marketing: You’ll work closely with marketing, sales and wider customer teams to make sure everyone is aligned and well-prepared for each event. This includes internal coordination so sales teams understand the purpose and value of events, and marketing team members who are supporting you with artwork and promotion. You’ll help keep information flowing and timelines clear so events run smoothly.

• Tracking results and improving our events: You’ll help track event activity and outcomes - including registrations, attendance and other success metrics. You’ll support the collection of feedback and learnings to help improve future events and processes.

• Capturing content and supporting community: We love sharing what happens at events on social, and having a bank of farmer quotes that we can use. You’ll help capture content at events - taking photos and videos, collecting quotes and stories. You’ll also assist with merchandise ordering, gifting and other farmer love activities.

Who are we looking for

• Ready to roll up your sleeves: You enjoy getting into the details and making things happen. You’re reliable, organised (did someone say colour coordinated spreadsheets?!) and taking responsibility for your work.

• A clear and confident communicator: You love chatting with a range of people - from sales team members and suppliers to farmers at events. You’re friendly, practical and able to ask questions when something’s unclear.

• Keen to learn and grow: You’re excited to build experience in events and marketing. You take feedback well, enjoy learning new skills and are motivated to keep improving how things are done.

• Calm and capable: You stay level-headed when plans change or things go wrong. You’re solutions-oriented, escalate issues when needed and support the team to keep things moving.

• (A nice to have, but definitely not necessary) Got experience with farmers, farming or the rural industry. This could come from growing up rurally, working in agriculture, or spending time around farms so you understand what farmers resonate with. If this doesn’t apply to you, that’s ok! We’re looking for someone who’s interested in learning more about the industry and how we can keep running events that are awesome for farmers.

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.
