People & Performance Partner - Go to Market

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.

This role sits inside a team that takes people and performance seriously - not as an HR function on the periphery of the business, but as a genuine commercial partner within it. It's a role where the work is real and the impact is visible.
You'll work closely with managers across our Customer and GTM teams in Australia to develop performance, strengthen leadership, and navigate complexity early. You'll be close to the work and the people, not operating from a distance.
Day to day, that looks like: coaching managers through difficult conversations, handling early ER matters with confidence, spotting patterns before they become problems, thinking through Australia as a region (not just how the GTM team are functioning), and building clarity and accountability into how teams operate. You'll carry signal up and bring perspective down.
You'll report into the Senior People & Performance Partner - GTM and work alongside a tight team of partners who operate the same way: with judgment, not just process.

We'd love someone with HR experience, but we're genuinely open to people who've developed these skills in less traditional ways. If you've spent time in roles that called for commercial judgment, clear communication, and navigating people challenges without a set playbook, we'd love to hear from you.
Beyond your background, what matters most is that:

• You think commercially.

• You're comfortable holding high standards even when it's easier not to.

• You can challenge someone directly and care personally.

• You move at pace, can make calls with incomplete information, and bring precision rather than process.

• You know the difference between signal and noise, and you bring the former.

This isn't primarily a policy administration or process management role, and it isn't a support function that sits behind the business and reacts.. If you're looking for a highly structured environment where established 'HR best practice' guides every decision, this might not be the right fit - but if you're energised by ambiguity and real problems, it could be a great one.

Halter operates by a set of principles we genuinely live by: absolute ownership, max velocity, operating from first principles, and playing for the front of the jersey. That shapes how decisions get made and how we operate.
We operate in a high-performance environment - feedback is direct, expectations are clear, and the standard doesn't drop for comfort. If that sounds like somewhere you'd thrive, this would be a great role for you.

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!

If this opportunity sounds like you, please apply below by sending through your cover letter explaining why you’re excited about this role and working at Halter, along with your CV, and we’ll be in touch!
