Level
Lead / Manager
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 Founders Fund, Bessemer Venture Partners, BOND, DCVC, Blackbird, Promus Ventures, Rocket Lab’s Peter Beck and Icehouse ventures.
Halter is helping farmers and ranchers run more productive, sustainable operations, technical support is critical to making that possible.
As our product and global customer base grow, we need a Product Support Manager to build the team that solves Halter’s hardest technical problems. When an issue is complex, high-stakes or affecting a customer’s animals, your team will be accountable for finding the answer and getting them back on track.
You’ll lead the leaders and the team responsible for Halter’s toughest technical challenges: our Virtual Fencing Specialists, Platform and Hardware Support Engineers, and Escalations team.
Your team sits between Customer Experience and Product and Engineering. Every technical issue requiring deeper engineering support comes through your team first after being properly investigated, clearly evidenced and escalated only when it genuinely needs to be.
A big part of your role is helping Support solve more independently. You’ll build the technical capability of your own team and our Customer Experience teams globally, giving them the tools, knowledge and confidence to diagnose root causes and resolve more issues themselves.
You’ll be part of Halter’s global Customer Experience leadership team, working closely with regional leaders to determine which capabilities should sit centrally, what each market needs locally and how our technical support model should evolve as Halter grows.
There’s a reason you visit your friends in person, live with your family and don’t do dinners over Zoom. Humans are wired for connection. We believe a world-class, in-person office culture is the best way for high-performing teams.
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. Strong relationships make it easier to disagree, give feedback, and do meaningful and aligned work. We don’t like having heaps of rules or policies, but this means having strong, trusted relationships is critical.
We’re office first, not office only. This means working from the office everyday is our default setting, but we flex when we need to. We have a high-trust culture, so everyone is trusted to do what’s best for Halter.
Our office vibe is something special, it’s hard to describe until you’re here, but people at Halter who have come from fully remote or hybrid companies say they could never go back - the high energy and spectacular people they are now surrounded by everyday makes work so enjoyable. Your growth, your learning and your impact is truly unlimited here, and a big part of that comes from being together solving problems, innovating, building context, and constantly learning from each other.
Halter 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. Research shows that while men apply to jobs when they meet an average of 60% of the requirements, women and under-represented groups of candidates tend to only apply when they meet every requirement. If you think you have what it takes but don’t necessarily tick every requirement on this job description, please still get in touch and apply to Halter. We’d love to chat to see if you’ll be an epic fit!
