About Halter
At Halter, we're on a mission to enable ranchers 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 pasture? No ATVs, 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
As the Customer Onboarding Lead U.S. (internally called a Launch Lead) at Halter, you'll lead a team of Onboarding Representatives (internally called Launch Representatives) deploying Halter onto new ranches across the United States. You own how launches happen in the US: how your team performs, how customers experience their first months with Halter, and how we deliver against our deployment goals. Launching means training ranchers and their animals on how to get the most out of our platform, and setting them up to successfully run their operation with Halter from day one.
This is a leadership role with real ownership. You manage your team's delivery and performance, set the operating rhythm for the region, and own US new deployment ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue). You'll work closely with Sales, Support, Rev Ops, Product, and the Global Launch team to make sure launches go well, customers see value fast, and the team is set up to scale as we grow across the US.
You'll be close enough to the field to know what's actually happening on ranches, and operational enough to spot patterns, fix what's broken, and build what's missing.

Who we're looking for

Experience coaching and developing frontline team members, with clear expectations and consistent follow-through
Strong operator: runs multiple priorities, builds clean feedback loops, and drives work to completion
Comfort using data to diagnose what's working, what's not, and where to focus
Ability to zoom out to redesign how the team operates, and zoom in to unblock a stuck deployment
Bias to action: makes good calls with imperfect info, and knows when to escalate, when to experiment, and when to standardize
Confident partnering across functions and influencing without relying on authority
Clear, direct communication
Genuine care for the people we serve and the quality of the work
Nice to haves

Startup or high-growth environment experience
