About Halter

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.

About the Role

Getting finished collars from our factories to the right market, at the right time and at the right cost, is one of the most commercially critical things Halter does. Get it wrong and markets run short while others sit on excess stock, freight costs creep up, and customers wait.

As Global Inventory Planner, you’ll make sure that doesn’t happen. You’ll own the flow of finished goods from factory to market against the plan, hold stock on hand in every market and warehouse to target, and own our international freight from factory to destination.

You’ll be deep in the details: projecting where stock will be in every warehouse weeks ahead, planning what ships where and when, managing forwarder performance and cost, and spotting where a market will drift from target early enough to act. You’ll work alongside our Global Logistics, Procurement and Production teams, our contract manufacturers and the wider Supply Chain team, bringing the inventory view that keeps the plan honest and visible.

This is a hands-on role. You’ll pick up real projects from day one and deliver them, and you’ll build the planning rhythm and discipline that make delivering to our stock policy the normal state. As Halter expands into new markets, there’s room to grow with it.

What You’ll Do

• Own the forward view of stock on hand and weeks of supply for every finished goods item, in every market and warehouse, built from factory output, shipments in transit and the sales pipeline.

• Execute to our stock policy, keeping stock on hand within target for every item, market and warehouse, and flag early when the policy needs revisiting.

• Decide what ships where, when and how, and make the trade-offs between markets when supply is tight or demand moves.

• Own international freight from factory to market, including forwarder selection, volume splits, and mode and route decisions.

• Set how we split volume across forwarders to get the best price and lead time, keeping competition alive on every lane so we’re never reliant on a single provider.

• Build relationships with the people who make things happen at our forwarders, and use them to secure space, expedite and clear delays fast.

• Build the reporting the business trusts on inventory by market and warehouse, and on freight cost by lane, market and unit landed.

• Plan finished goods through product transitions and new market launches, so inventory never becomes the critical path.

What You Bring

• Inventory planning experience for a physical product across multiple markets or warehouses, including owning the trade-offs between them.

• A strong grasp of weeks of supply, safety stock, inventory targets, and how a forecast and a production schedule turn into a shipment plan.

• Real experience managing international freight forwarders across air and sea. You know the levers that move cost and lead time.

• Commercial instinct. You use performance data and competition to get better results from providers.

• Sharp analytical skills. You’re fluent in the data behind an inventory plan and comfortable building your own models and reporting.

• Strong ownership and follow-through. You keep track of every shipment and position that matters, and you close things out.

• Clear, direct communication, whether it’s an inventory update for a senior stakeholder or an expedite request to a forwarder.

• Low ego and comfortable with hard conversations. You handle them with honesty and good judgement about when to escalate.
