About the role

Farmers with Halter are writing the playbook for a world-first farming 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 along with driving optimal profitability outcomes.

Your contributions will directly support Halter’s mission to support 50% of the world's habitable landmass to be more productive and sustainable. This role is based in the Taranaki/Whanganui region. Applicants must live within the region. Travel is required to meet with farmers daily.
