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:
Paid social is where most farmers meet Halter for the first time. This role makes sure every one of those first impressions is a good one. You're the engine room of Halter's paid social. The Performance Marketing Manager sets the strategy and owns the number, but you keep the engine running as we grow. You build the campaigns, launch the tests, keep the accounts clean and tell the team what the data is saying. This is a hands-on role with a clear path to owning a channel. You'll learn how a high-tempo creative testing engine works from the inside, working alongside the Brand and Regional teams on what gets made and how it performs. You'll do it with AI as a core tool. Campaign builds, creative analysis, reporting and quality checks - we expect you to use AI to move faster, catch more and spend your time on the work that needs judgement.

What we're looking for:
We don't care where you've come from. What matters is that you've built and run paid campaigns hands-on and you sweat the detail. You're precise. You'd rather catch a broken link or a wrong audience before launch than explain it after. You're fast. You can take a brief to a live campaign the same day, without cutting corners. You're comfortable with numbers. You can read a results table, spot what's off and explain it in plain language. You're curious about why an ad works, not just whether it did.
What your day could look like:
Building next week's creative tests in Meta for New Zealand dairy and United States beef - different audiences, different hooks, same clean structure. Trafficking a new batch of video from the Brand team into the right campaigns, formats and placements. Checking daily spend and pacing across markets and flagging an ad set that's overspending before it costs money. Closing out a creative test and writing up the result so the whole team learns from it. Chasing down why leads from one campaign aren't showing up properly in HubSpot. Pulling together the weekly paid social readout: what moved, why, and what we should do next.
You'll crush this role if you:
Get it right first time. Your campaigns launch clean, your naming is consistent and your tracking works. Keep the testing engine moving. Tests go live when they're meant to, and close out with a clear answer. Notice things. You spot the creative that's tiring, the audience that's saturating or the cost that's creeping, and you raise it early. Want to grow. You're building towards owning a channel, and you're already thinking about what you'd test next. See AI as a core work tool. You've already built it into how you work and you're faster because of it.
