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
At Halter, we are building the future of agriculture, and that requires a world-class financial engine. We are looking for a Credit Control Manager who is a master of balance: someone who can protect our cash flow while maintaining the incredible relationships we’ve built with our farmers and ranchers.
This isn’t a "sit behind a spreadsheet" role. We need a proactive communicator who isn't afraid to pick up the phone, have a real conversation, and find solutions that keep Halter charging forward. You’ll be the heartbeat of our cash inflows, ensuring our ledger is pristine and our collection processes are world-class.
What you'll be doing
The Relationship Builder (Debt Collection) - You’ll proactively manage overdue payments via phone and email. You aren't just "chasing debt"—you’re checking in with our farmers and ranchers, resolving hurdles, and ensuring the partnership stays strong. You’ll have a direct impact on keeping our cash flow healthy and predictable.
Risk Architect (Credit Management) - You’ll be the gatekeeper of our growth. You’ll evaluate new credit requests, set smart limits, and monitor credit ratings to ensure we are scaling safely across different global markets.
Ledger Perfectionist - You’ll keep the engine room tidy—processing invoices, allocating receipts with precision, and reconciling accounts so our data is always source-of-truth ready.
Dispute Detective - When an invoice doesn't get paid, you’re on the case. You’ll investigate discrepancies, resolve queries, and bridge the gap between our customers and our internal teams to get things back on track.
Strategic Forecaster - You’ll provide the "weather report" for our cash. By preparing aged debtor reports and forecasting expected inflows, you’ll give senior management the visibility they need to make big moves.
The Negotiator - Sometimes things don’t go to plan. You’ll use your empathy and commercial savvy to establish payment plans that support our farmers and ranchers through their seasonal cycles while protecting Halter’s interests.
Who you are
The People Person: You actually enjoy picking up the phone. You can be firm when necessary, but you always lead with empathy and a "Halter-first" attitude.
The Solution Finder: You don't just see a "late payment"; you see a puzzle to solve. You’re a natural negotiator who finds the win-win for both the business and the customer.
The FinTech Enthusiast: Like the rest of our team, you’re always looking for ways to embrace AI and tech to automate the boring stuff so you can focus on the high-value conversations.
The Detail Maven: You take pride in a clean ledger. You’re organized, accurate, and move with the speed of a high-growth startup.
The Mission-Driven Peer: You’re excited to join a high-performing finance team that works hard, supports each other, and celebrates every win.
Our Benefits

Our time to recharge is valued, we're offered wellness leave and unlimited paid annual leave.
Importantly, we offer an inclusive and attractive remuneration package made up of salary, benefits and an employee stock ownership plan.
Our Office First Approach
Humans are wired for connection. Being office first is a core pillar of our culture because in-person connections drive your growth, learning, impact, and relationships. Strong relationships make it easier to disagree, give feedback, and do meaningful work together.
We're office first, not office only. Working from the office is our default, but we flex when needed. We have a high-trust culture where everyone is trusted to do what's best for Halter.
Our office vibe is special, the high energy and spectacular people make work enjoyable. Your growth and impact are unlimited here, coming from solving problems, innovating, and constantly learning from each other.
