Graduate Business Development Executive; Tasman​/Canterbury

About the role

Halter helps farmers to grow more grass and graze their land more efficiently while driving mating performance and monitoring every cow 24/7. We have removed many of the barriers farmers face on a day-to-day basis. Halter farmers don’t need to get up at 4am to get the cows in, put up a fence, measure pasture, or detect heats… they do all of this automatically and more proactively through the Halter App.

They can schedule their mobs to meet them at the dairy for milking, run as many mobs as they want, and allocate precisely the right amount of feed. Welcome to farming with Halter!

We are searching for a fresh grad with a strong desire to launch their career with Halter! We're looking for someone to help Halter’s expansion in the Tasman/Canterbury market whilst also playing a crucial part in assisting the team with events and local days across the South Island.
