Graduate Business Development Executive (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 Canterbury market whilst also playing a crucial part in assisting the team with events and local days across the South Island.

This is an entry level opportunity for someone to positively disrupt an industry and pioneer groundbreaking change on some of the highest-performing dairy farms. You will be assisting the the South Island team through expansion for one of the world’s fastest-growing companies by helping equip farms with Halter technology that will transform the way they farm to become leaders in productivity and sustainability. You will be working closely with a passionate Customer team on the ground in the area and backed by a team of exceptional people at Halter’s Auckland HQ, to ensure this is the best job you’ll ever have.

In addition to your CV, we want to see a cover letter to show us why you’re the right fit for this Business Development Graduate role - demonstrate your creative, out-of-the-box thinking and help us understand what makes you tick and why you want to work at Halter!

We're targeting someone to start within this role in March 2026. This role is based out of our Christchurch office. Applicants must live within the region. Travel is required to meet with farmers daily.

What your day could look like

• On-farm sales meetings : Understanding the needs and problems of your prospects then clearly communicating functionality, benefits and highlighting value relative to each farming operation.
• Manage and assist the team with events and open days.
