🏢 About Halter

Halter is revolutionizing agriculture by developing smart technology that helps farmers monitor and manage their livestock remotely, leading to more productive farms, sustainable practices, and healthier animals. Unlike traditional ag-tech companies, Halter combines cutting-edge hardware, AI, and data analytics to solve real-world farming challenges. Working here means contributing directly to food security and environmental sustainability through innovative technology.

About This Role

As a Senior People and Performance Partner at Halter, you'll serve as a strategic advisor to leadership teams, helping scale people operations during rapid growth while maintaining the company's unique culture. You'll directly impact how teams develop, perform, and adapt as the company expands its agricultural technology solutions across the US market. This role is crucial for ensuring Halter's human capital strategy supports its mission of transforming farming practices.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve morning check-ins with engineering and product leaders to discuss team dynamics and performance challenges, followed by analyzing engagement survey data to identify trends. In the afternoon, you could be coaching a manager on developing their team through Halter's growth phases, then collaborating on designing an inclusion initiative that supports the company's expansion into new agricultural regions.
