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.

The Role.

At Halter, we don’t just "do" finance; we build the engine that powers our global growth. We are looking for a Finance Manager who is as comfortable in the weeds of a Tier 1 ERP as they are in the boardroom. This isn't a role for someone who wants to sit in the back office, you’ll be a key navigator as we charge forward toward our mission.

You’ll lead a high-performing team to ensure our financial foundations are rock-solid, our risks are managed, and our strategic decisions are backed by razor-sharp insights.

What You’ll Be Doing.

1. Driving the Operational Engine You'll own the daily heartbeat of our finance function. From overseeing AP/AR and payroll to managing our treasury, you ensure the gears keep turning. Your goal? A month-end close so accurate and timely it could set a world record.

2. Automation architecture. Design and implement end-to-end automated workflows across the finance function. Your baseline assumption: if a human is doing it repeatedly, a system should be doing it instead. Hunt for every opportunity to take manual work off the table.

3. AI-powered finance ops. Champion the adoption of AI-driven financial tools, from anomaly detection and forecasting models to intelligent reporting. Evaluate, pilot, and embed solutions that keep Halter ahead of the curve. We don't do manual work if a machine can do it better, and you'll be the one making sure it doesn't.

4. Strategic advisory & insights. You aren't just reporting on the past; you're helping us build the future. You'll provide the data-driven "so what" to senior leadership, identifying cost-reduction opportunities and guiding long-term business decisions that move the needle.

5. Safeguarding the growth. As we scale globally, you'll be the architect of our internal controls. You'll implement the systems and processes needed to safeguard our assets and manage risk across international borders.

6. Leadership & mentorship. Lead, mentor, and inspire our finance staff. Build a culture where automation curiosity is celebrated, continuous improvement is the norm, and "we've always done it this way" is a red flag, not a justification.

Who You Are.
  • The ERP Expert (or Enthusiast): You ideally have 3+ years of experience managing inventory in a Tier 1 ERP (NetSuite is our favorite, but SAP, Oracle, or Microsoft Dynamics are great too).

  • The Fast Learner: If you don't know our specific system yet, you’re the type of person who rolls up their sleeves and masters it by the end of week one.

  • The High-Performer: You thrive in fast-paced environments. "Good enough" isn't in your vocabulary; you're driven by accuracy and impact.

  • The Strategic Thinker: You see the story behind the spreadsheets and can communicate complex financial concepts to non-finance people with ease.

  • The Team Player: You’re ready to join a team that works hard, laughs often, and is obsessed with achieving Halter’s mission.

What you need to know about the Melbourne Tech Scene

Home to 650 biotech companies, 10 major research institutes and nine universities, Melbourne is among one of the top cities for biotech. In fact, some of the greatest medical advancements were conceptualized and developed here, including Symex Lab's "lab-on-a-chip" solution that monitors hormones to predict ovulation for conception, and Denteric's vaccine for periodontal gum disease. Yet, the thousands of people working in the city's healthtech sector are just getting started, to say nothing of the tech advancements across all other sectors.
