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.\nWe’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.\nTo find out more, visit our LinkedIn & Instagram.\nAbout the role\n“Fun logistics.”\nThat's how our US Office Ops lead describes her job, and it sums up this role perfectly. It's the operational engine behind a 350+ person office - vendors, maintenance, thoughtful touches - run by someone who finds real satisfaction in a space that feels curated and intentional.\nWe're a high-growth company with teams across New Zealand, Australia, North (and now South!) America. Our stunning, Victoria Park adjacent, Auckland office is our global HQ and the centre of the action - 350 people today, with hundreds more to come, plus a constant flow of farmers, investors, candidates and partners through our doors.\nWe're an office-first company because we believe great environments help great teams do their best work. Our HQ isn't just where people turn up, it's where ideas move fast, relationships get built and the energy of Halter lives. As we scale, the space, the systems and the experience of working here need to scale with us.\nOur Office Operations Manager is heading off on parental leave, and we're looking for someone to step in and keep the engine running - and then some. This is a hands-on operational role with real ownership: you'll run the day-to-day of the office, keep improving how it looks and feels, and take on a growing piece of work around how Halter hosts the outside world. You'll work closely with our Office Ops team, collaborate with all our internal teams and report to our Exec Ops Partner.\nFor the right person this is a real entry point into a fast-scaling company. The fixed term covers the leave, but at the rate we're growing we'll need the extra hands for good.\nWhat you'll do\nOffice Operations\nManage the day-to-day with precision. Vendors, supplies, maintenance, invoices, logistics - nothing falls through the cracks on your watch.\nOwn vendor relationships and comms across cleaning, maintenance, security and supplies - holding them to the Halter high standard\n\nManage and resolve maintenance issues for our HQ fast - you close threads, always\n\nKeep the kitchens stocked, the coffee machines humming and the consumables flowing for 350+ people\n\nOwn the Friday staff drinks and snacks rhythm and look for creative ways to bring about connection within the team day to day.\n\nSpace and Experience\nKeep the office sharp, welcoming and visitor-ready, every day. You don't just maintain the space, you elevate it - you'll have real creative ownership over how it looks, feels and flows as the team grows.\nCommunity and Events\nAs Halter gets bigger, more of the industry wants to come to us - meetups, partner events, farmer groups, university visits, milestone celebrations. You’ll help make sure every one of them runs smoothly.\nSupport the teams hosting events at Halter HQ - Marketing, People, Sales and others own the event, you help with the setup, logistics and pack-down that make the day work\n\nBe a reliable pair of hands on event days: room setup, AV check, catering in and out, access sorted, space reset afterwards\n\nHelp keep the hosting playbook current - what worked, what didn’t, what the next person needs to know\n\nSystems and Scale\nBuild simple systems that remove friction as we grow. What does this office need to look like when the team is 3x the size? What's likely to break next, and how do we get ahead of it?\nSupport the fitout and move into our new Auckland HQ\n\nThink about how we physically scale without losing what makes the space great\n\nRecognise and fill gaps - what folks need that is currently missing\n\nWho you are\nYou don't wait to be told. You walk into a room and clock what's off, what could be better and what's about to become a problem. Then you fix it, often before anyone else notices.\nYou bring calm to chaos, warmth to the day and real pride to your work. You love being relied on, and you care about the details because that's just how you're wired.\nProven experience isn't the point. We're looking for someone ambitious, who wants to make things better and cares about the details - someone who sees \"fun logistics\" and thinks yes, that's me. Office management, ops, events or hospitality experience helps, but how you think and the standards you hold yourself to matter far more.\nWhat great looks like\nSelf-directed - comfortable owning your patch and running with it\n\nHighly organised - you juggle a lot of moving parts without dropping any\n\nDetail-obsessed - you notice the small things others miss\n\nSystems-minded - you build for scale, not just for today\n\nRelationship-driven - vendors, teams, visitors and external partners all trust you\n\nPositive energy - the office feels better because you're in it\n\nYou'll succeed at Halter if\nYou get real satisfaction from walking into a space and knowing it works because of you\n\nYou enjoy building simple systems that quietly make everyone's life easier\n\nYou like being the host - making a room full of people feel looked after is your idea of a good day\n\nYou want to be part of a high-performing, ambitious team and you raise the energy around you\n\nYou want genuine ownership and room to grow, not a checklist\n\nOur Benefits\nHealthy body, healthy mind. We're partnered with Southern Cross Health Insurance to support your well-being.\n\nWe offer 6 months of fully paid parental leave for primary caregivers, 4 weeks of fully paid secondary caregiver leave and many other parental benefits that support you and your family.\n\nDelicious snacks and drinks are available for your daily flow.\n\nOur personal growth is important. Halter offers an annual $1000 self-development budget to be used for anything that fuels personal growth.\n\nOur time to recharge is valued, we're offered wellness leave and unlimited paid annual leave.\n\nImportantly, we offer an inclusive and attractive remuneration package made up of salary, benefits and an employee stock ownership plan.\n\nOur Office First Approach\nHumans are wired for connection. Being office first is a core pillar of our culture because in-person connections drive your growth, learning, impact, and relationships. Strong relationships make it easier to disagree, give feedback, and do meaningful work together.\nWe're office first, not office only. Working from the office is our default, but we flex when needed. We have a high-trust culture where everyone is trusted to do what's best for Halter.\nOur office vibe is special, the high energy and spectacular people make work enjoyable. Your growth and impact are unlimited here, coming from solving problems, innovating, and constantly learning from each other.\nJoin our team\nHalter is committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive workplace - a place where we can each be ourselves and do the best work of our lives.
