Job Description
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, DCVC, Blackbird, Promus Ventures, Rocket Lab’s Peter Beck and Icehouse ventures.

Halter is reshaping the future of livestock farming. Our collars and software let farmers move and manage animals with a swipe of their phone - no bikes, no fences, no stress. As we scale across NZ, Australia, and the USA, great support isn’t optional - it’s critical.
We’re looking for multiple Customer Support Shift Leads to run the floor, support our Specialists, and make sure farmers get fast, thoughtful, high-quality help every day. Shift Leads are hands-on leaders - deeply connected to the work, close to customers, and trusted by the team. This is a role for people who are used to being on the floor, making calls in real time and supporting both customers and teammates when it matters.
Farming and ranching are 24/7, 365 days a year, and New Zealand will become the true core of our global, around-the-clock support strategy.
This is not a role where you sit back and manage from a distance. You’ll spend most of your time in the queue, solving meaningful problems for farmers and setting the standard for how support should feel. The rest of your time goes into coaching, 1:1s, quality reviews, and keeping the shift running smoothly. You’ll work closely with the Customer Support Manager, other Shift Leads, and teams across Halter to deliver a support experience farmers genuinely trust. This isn’t a role about ticking boxes or handling simple requests. You’ll be dealing with real-world complexity, supporting farmers on tough (and good) days, and helping your teammates do their best work.
What your day could look like:
Handle complex, high-impact support tickets that require judgement, empathy, and a deep understanding of farmer context
Support Specialists in real time, answering questions, unblocking investigations, and guiding next steps
Run the shift day-to-day, keeping queues flowing, priorities clear, and customers supported
Jump in where needed to support the team during busy periods or tricky situations
Coach Specialists through regular 1:1s, feedback, and quality reviews
Use data daily to understand volume, quality, trends, and risks across your shift
Escalate effectively and work closely with Product and Engineering when issues need deeper investigation
Share insights from customer conversations to help improve product, processes, and the overall experience
Spend time on farm when needed to better understand how farmers use Halter and where support can make the biggest difference
Contribute to proactive support initiatives like education content, risk identification, and customer outreach
Support clear handovers and collaboration across APAC and USA shifts
Help embed consistent ways of working, standards, and rhythms across the team
Lift team confidence and capability through calm leadership, clarity, and follow-through
This is for you if:
Strong experience in a customer-facing support or service role
Experience coaching, mentoring, or leading others (formally or informally)
A high bar for quality and customer experience
Comfortable handling complex issues and guiding others through them
Confident using tools like Intercom or Zendesk and improving how work flows
Able to use data to spot trends, prioritise work, and improve outcomes
Clear, calm communicator who builds trust quickly
Comfortable balancing ticket work with coaching and leadership responsibilities
Curious, improvement-minded, and motivated to raise the standard
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 $1,000 self-development budget to invest in whatever fuels their personal growth.
We offer six months of fully paid leave for primary caregivers and four weeks of fully paid leave for secondary caregivers, along with a range of additional family-friendly benefits. To support your wellbeing, we offer subsidised health insurance through Southern Cross.
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, dog-friendly office in the heart of Auckland City and a test farm in Morrinsville. Delicious snacks and drinks are readily available.
