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.

We’re looking for a world-class commercial leader to build, scale and lead Halter’s market entry into Argentina and Uruguay.
You’ll own the regional revenue number, champion Halter’s first customers and build a high-accountability commercial organisation from the ground up.
This is a groundbreaking role and an opportunity to help revolutionise one of the world’s most significant beef and cattle markets.
You’ll span the full commercial picture. You’ll build and lead the Enterprise Sales organisation, and help shape the customer experience from first conversation through to long-term adoption, retention and expansion.
You’ll be on of the primary commercial voices for Argentina and Uruguay, translating what you learn from farmers and ranchers into clear priorities for Halter’s product roadmap, go-to-market strategy and global planning.
You’ll build the team from scratch — hiring, developing and scaling an funtion capable of winning complex Enterprise accounts across two important agricultural markets.
This is a deeply hands-on leadership role. You’ll spend meaningful time in the field working alongside farmers and ranchers, shaping execution on the ground and ensuring your team is consistently raising the bar.
You’ll bring discipline, rigour and clarity, while leading with warmth, candour and high support. One day, you might be working through a complex commercial opportunity with one of Argentina’s largest cattle producers. The next, you’ll be coaching your team in the field, shaping regional marketing priorities or working with Product to turn customer insight into a roadmap decision.
This is not a role for someone waiting for a finished playbook. It’s for someone who can build the market, the team and the operating model at the same time.
You’ll have demonstrated success scaling revenue and leading teams through rapid growth — from post-product-market fit to meaningful commercial scale.
You’ll be comfortable holding the full commercial picture, not just the sales number.
You’ll have owned growth-focused regional revenue targets, with responsibility for delivering ambitious results and maintaining forecast accuracy across a field organisation.
You’ll have worked with large, complex customers and navigated multi-stakeholder sales cycles from first conversation through to close.
You’ll understand how to build a pipeline of Enterprise accounts, create account strategies, qualify opportunities, manage complex negotiations and expand value over time.
You’ll be a hunter at heart. You’ll walk towards the pressure of large targets and want to be involved in the biggest, most important opportunities.
You’ll also know that winning Enterprise customers is about more than a great pitch. It’s about understanding how the business works, what is keeping its leaders up at night and how Halter can create value across the operation.
You’ll know how to build something from scratch: the right team structure, the right talent, the right territories and the right commercial rhythm.
You’ll be comfortable creating clarity where there is ambiguity, making decisions with imperfect information and changing direction quickly when the market tells you to.
You’ll understand pipeline health, forecast variance, territory performance, leading indicators, productivity metrics and the financial levers that drive a regional business.
You’ll use data to find the real opportunities and risks, then use judgement and customer insight to decide what to do next.
You’ll have a track record of translating customer and field insight into concrete product requirements that changed the roadmap.
You won’t simply pass feedback to Product. You’ll build the commercial case, create structured feedback loops and help the organisation understand what is blocking adoption and growth in Argentina and Uruguay.
Field-first, customer-centric leadership
You’ll be comfortable leading from the front and spending meaningful time on farm.
You’ll have a firsthand understanding of how farming businesses operate and what it takes to earn trust with farmers and ranchers. Deep familiarity with Argentina — and ideally Uruguay — including the farming culture and business environment, is important.
You’ll bring deep skill in pipeline discipline, forecasting rigour and building scalable sales systems.
You’ll have experience creating clear customer segmentation and territory design, aligning forecasts and resourcing with product capabilities and market opportunity.
You’ll know how to run a commercial operating rhythm: pipeline reviews, forecast cadences, deal reviews, team communication and clear accountability loops.
You’ll be direct, empathetic and high-support. You’ll know how to elevate talent, develop managers, reinforce high standards and create a culture of excellence.
You’ll be fluent in Spanish and English, operating confidently across both every day and bridging the regional team with Halter’s global headquarters.
You’ll be calm, decisive and energised by the opportunity to build from scratch.
You’ll bring urgency, ownership and adaptability to a rapidly scaling business entering a new market. You won’t need a perfect playbook to get started.
Build, develop and performance-manage the regional commercial organisation from the ground up.
Design the right structure, hire exceptional people and build the coaching infrastructure required to support growth in Argentina and Uruguay.

Own the regional revenue number and the performance of the Enterprise business.
Develop and execute an Enterprise Accounts strategy aligned with Halter’s expansion goals.
Get up to speed quickly with Halter’s sales model, product and customer journey.

Run regular reviews on pipeline health, forecast variance, territory performance, leading indicators and productivity metrics.
Work with the leadership team to enable accurate monthly and quarterly revenue forecasting.
Partner with global Revenue Operations to design scalable dashboards, reporting and insights that drive behaviour and decision-making.
Build a commercial rhythm that creates clarity around priorities, targets, expectations, blockers and accountability.

Manage newly sourced and inbound leads through screening, qualification and the early stages of the pipeline.
Develop account strategies for complex, multi-stakeholder opportunities.
Understand the structure, needs and problems of large farming organisations.

Lead complex sales cycles, negotiations and executive relationships through to close.

Act as the primary commercial voice translating Enterprise customer reality into clear, prioritised Product and Engineering requirements.
Partner with Halter’s global Product team to advocate for adaptations that fit Argentine and Uruguayan farming operations.
Feed field insights from Sales, deployment and Customer Experience into product planning cycles in a structured and rigorous way.
Participate actively in product roadmap reviews, representing the commercial case for prioritisation decisions that affect South American growth.

Influence global forecasting, product planning and broader go-to-market strategy.

Use field insights to shape sales strategy, territory design, role clarity and coaching priorities.
Stay close to market dynamics, customer needs and the realities of running a cattle operation.
Build the trust and credibility required to make Halter a meaningful part of the region’s agricultural future.
This is a role for someone who wants to build the market, lead from the front and take responsibility for something enormous.
You’ll be helping Halter win its first enterprise customers in Argentina and Uruguay, build a world-class regional team and change how some of the world’s most important cattle businesses operate.
