Business Development Executive (Taranaki / Whanganui)

About the role

Farmers with Halter are writing the playbook for a new production system, they are paving a new way of managing their land and animals, and in doing so, are unlocking more productive and sustainable uses of the world's agricultural land. 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 driven hunter with a strong track record to lead Halter’s expansion in the Taranaki / Whanganui market. This is an opportunity to positively disrupt an industry and pioneer groundbreaking change on some of the highest-performing dairy farms. You will be working with a team to lead the Taranaki 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.

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.
