This is an entry level opportunity for someone to positively disrupt an industry and pioneer groundbreaking change on some of the highest‑performing beef farms.

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.

• A phenomenal attitude and a team player with the ability to consistently overcome challenges.
• The ability to thrive in a dynamic, fast‑paced working environment with a high degree of autonomy.
• A hunger for success and personal growth to be able to evolve quickly alongside a world‑class sales team.
• Bachelor’s degree (ideally agriculture).
• Base knowledge of beef farming systems preferred.

What your day could look like

• Prospecting & Expansion: Sourcing new leads and opportunities through proactive outreach, referrals, industry events, and other channels, as well as responding to inbound queries. You’ll manage the full sales pipeline from lead generation through to close.
• Hitting Sales Targets: Manage your pipeline and meet high‑growth sales targets by screening, qualifying, demonstrating the product, and successfully negotiating contracts with customers.
• Customer Account Management: After the sale, maintain close relationships with customers to ensure their ongoing satisfaction, provide support, and address any challenges they face with Halter’s products. You’ll also ensure a smooth handoff from sales to customer onboarding and deployment of Halter, helping customers get the most value from Halter’s solutions.
• Territory Ownership: A high level of ownership in your territory working with regional agricultural groups to foster deep relationships across the beef industry.
• Customer Onboarding: Assist in owning the end‑to‑end customer experience during onboarding and deployment of Halter’s product, ensuring a smooth transition from sales to implementation.
• Field Learnings & Feedback: Serve as the primary point of contact for gathering customer feedback in your territory. Work closely with Support, Product, and R&D teams to share insights from the field that can drive product improvements and innovations.
• Collaborating with Support Teams: Partner with the Support Team to resolve any issues your customers encounter quickly. You’ll escalate problems as needed and ensure that customers in your territory feel fully supported.
