Job Description
Halter is transforming farming with world-first technology that enables farmers to manage animals and land more efficiently, sustainably, and profitably. Already a leader in New Zealand and Australia, we are scaling rapidly in the United States — and we’re looking for a Communications Lead to help us tell our story.
The Role
As Communications Lead, USA, you’ll be the driving force behind Halter’s communications in our fastest-growing market. Reporting to the Director of Strategic Communications (Auckland HQ) with a dotted line to the US Country Manager, you’ll shape Halter’s profile through proactive PR, compelling storytelling, and effective issues management.
What You'll Do:
Build Halter’s profile across US media and industry channels.
Manage and direct our US PR agency.
Produce content: press releases, media kits, thought leadership articles, talking points.
Provide media training and spokesperson preparation.
Anticipate and manage reputational risks, with local crisis response capabilities.
Support internal communications and executive profile-raising.
What You'll Bring:
10+ years’ experience in communications, PR, or corporate affairs.
Strong media relationships and a record of securing high-impact coverage.
Experience with agency management and integrated PR campaigns.
Excellent writing and storytelling skills.
Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
Why our team loves working at Halter
At Halter, we’re committed to creating an environment where people thrive. We offer unlimited paid annual leave, as well as additional wellness days. Each year, every team member receives a $750 self-development budget to invest in whatever fuels their personal growth. We also offer 401k and make an employer match. We offer a 100% match on the first 3% you contribute, and a 50% match on the next 2%.
We offer twelve weeks of fully paid leave for primary and secondary caregivers. We offer comprehensive health, vision and dental insurance for our employees, to care for themselves and their families.
And finally, everyone at Halter is an owner. Every employee is part of our stock ownership plan; when we succeed, you share in that success.
Our office-first approach
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.
We’re office first, not office only. This means that working from the office every day is our default setting, but we flex when needed. Your growth, learning, and impact are truly unlimited here, and a big part of that comes from being together, solving problems, innovating, building context, and constantly learning from each other.
We have a state-of-the-art office in the heart of Boulder. Delicious snacks and drinks are readily available.
