About the Job
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,...
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.

Key Responsibilities
You'll partner with local leaders and the global P&P team to stand up the core people infrastructure for a new market — then keep raising the bar as the team scales.
In practice, that means:
Establishing people processes, leadership rhythms, documentation, and workflows for a high-performing new market team
Coaching managers through feedback, performance conversations, development, and early employee relations matters
Owning onboarding quality so new starters understand the mission, operating model, and cultural bar from day one
Running people logistics — systems, documentation, compliance, and employee information
Supporting market-entry operations: office setup, field-team logistics, local vendor coordination, fleet and vehicle processes
Staying close to the ground and feeding signal back to People, Talent, Commercial, and leadership
Responsibilities will evolve. This is an early-stage role — you'll be part of making the whole thing work.
You're a high-judgment operator who builds trust quickly, stays calm in complexity, and brings clarity to ambiguous situations. You can challenge managers directly, handle hard conversations without flinching, and hold a high performance bar without losing fairness or care.
You know how to build from scratch. You don't need perfect systems to get started. You notice when things are missing or unclear — and you fix them. You bring absolute ownership to the work: you don't wait to be asked, you see what needs to happen and you make it happen.
Most importantly, you're genuinely connected to the mission. The farmers, ranchers, and animals at the heart of Halter's work aren't an abstraction to you — they're the reason the bar stays high.
Required Skills & Abilities
Experience in a People Partner, HRBP, or generalist people role
Strong judgment across performance, manager coaching, and employee relations
Experience building people processes, workflows, and operating rhythms
Operational discipline and attention to detail
Clear, direct communication in Spanish and English
Cultural fluency in Argentina and/or Uruguay
Comfort in fast-moving, high-standards environments
Grit, humility, and a bias toward action
Like building before things are fully defined
Can move between strategic thinking and hands-on execution
Give and receive feedback directly — and help build a culture where others do the same
Believe people experience and performance are mutually reinforcing, not in tension
Are willing to challenge leaders when the standard is slipping
Want to help shape the culture of a new market from day one
English proficiency is a requirement for this role. The recruitment process will include interviews conducted in English, and a significant part of the day-to-day work will also be conducted in English. Candidates should feel comfortable communicating, participating in professional conversations, and working effectively in English. If you are not comfortable having professional conversations in English, this role may not be the right fit for you.
The first people systems in a new market shape everything that follows. If we get this right, local hires will understand Halter's mission and standards from day one, managers will lead with clarity, and the team will move fast without creating people, compliance, or culture debt.
This role helps make that happen. You'll be one of the people responsible for ensuring Halter's Argentine team isn't just hired — but built well.
