Customer Onboarding US Lead

About the role

Our ranchers deserve a world-class customer experience. As the Customer Onboarding Lead for the USA, you’ll be responsible for delivering this experience for our ranchers when they first join Halter, ensuring they are best set up for success to realise the value of our product as quickly as possible. 

This is a critical role to support our expansion for this year and beyond, as we begin to move our growth focus to the United States. To help you achieve this, you’ll be leading a local onboarding and deployment operations team, to ensure our customers have what they need, when they need it, whilst also working closely with our Auckland, New Zealand-based Onboarding team to support the continuous improvement. You’ll be responsible for ensuring we consistently deliver a stand-out customer experience for our ranchers, and that our process, automation, and systems constantly evolve alongside our business to support economic scale in the US.

Compensation: $85K/yr - $95K/yr.

What your day could look like

• Customer Onboarding Program. As our product evolves, so too should the way we onboard our customers. You will lead the charge on constantly iterating the US onboarding experience, inline with the global strategies, ensuring an accessible customer onboarding program for all ranchers, tailored to each customer segment or region as required.
• Operational Optimisation. Ensure that ranches are set up with the right Halter infrastructure (e.g. transmitting towers) at the right time to operate with our product, and that this is done in the most efficient and economical way for both Halter and the customer.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration. Foster relationships with other internal teams across Product and Customer functions, to establish feedback loops to deliver a seamless customer experience. You will be our ranchers’ biggest advocate internally through the early stages of their Halter Journey, and eyes and ears on the ground for our New Zealand-based product team to ensure our product is fit for purpose for the region.
• Team leadership. Build and foster an innovative and collaborative team of high-performing individuals, where the common goal is to provide the best customer experience for our ranchers specifically through their initial onboarding experience. 

Who are we looking for

• Customer obsessed: Customers are front of mind—all the time. The right person for this role will be someone passionate about putting themselves in a rancher’s shoes to understand how we can deliver the simplest and smoothest experience to get onboarded and gain value from Halter in the shortest amount of time possible.
• Sound operational mindset: You have proven project management capability, which means you are able to identify levers to pull that result in key commercial outcomes. 
• Metric driven: Able to drive key commercial results by understanding key data metrics to make decisions and strategies for how our onboarding and deployment operation teams reach targets.
• Cross-collaborative: You’re able to work across multiple stakeholders and teams by building rapport, trust and credibility.
• A dynamic range of thinking: You have a first-principles mindset and can think big picture but can dive right into specific onboarding factors and variables across multiple teams and business scenarios to continuously improve the engine. 
• Strong leadership experience: Proven ability to manage high-performing teams.
• To be successful in this role you’ll be someone who is super comfortable with thinking on your feet, operating at max velocity, and caring deeply about our rancher experience.

Our Office First Approach

There’s a reason you visit your friends in person, live with your family and don’t do dinners over Zoom. Humans are wired for connection. We believe a world-class, in-person office culture is the best way for high-performing teams. 

Being office first is a core pillar of our culture. We believe in-person connections are key to driving your own growth, learning, impact, and building genuine long-lasting relationships. Strong relationships make it easier to disagree, give feedback, and do meaningful and aligned work. We don’t like having heaps of rules or policies, but this means having strong, trusted relationships is critical.

Our office vibe is something special, it’s hard to describe until you’re here, but people at Halter who have come from fully remote or hybrid companies say they could never go back - the high energy and spectacular people they are now surrounded by everyday makes work so enjoyable. Your growth, your learning and your impact is truly unlimited here, and a big part of that comes from being together solving problems, innovating, building context, and constantly learning from each other.
