ABOUT THE ROLE

We're searching for an exceptional marketing leader to grow Halter from our early days in Australia to one of Halter's biggest markets in the world. You’ll be building recognition for Halter’s brand that reaches every farming community in the country, with revenue performance to match. We've made our first moves on the ground and now we need a senior leader to build on that foundation.

This role is a key driver of Australia's full-funnel revenue performance: acquisition, expansion, and retention, all through marketing. You're not running events and content on instruction or directive from HQ. You are accountable for the Australian marketing strategy to achieve our revenue outcomes. That means thinking like a revenue owner first, and a marketer second.

Your job is to make sure marketing shows up as a genuine lever across that whole funnel: helping win new farmers, and also feeding the stories, proof points and community that keeps existing farmers expanding and retained. You, in tight collaboration with go-to-market leadership, will build this strategy, build the team to deliver against it, and own the demand and pipeline that drives Halter's Australian growth for years to come.

We want you to own marketing Australia. You will have full support from Halter’s global marketing team based in New Zealand HQ, with the brand and strategic frameworks you need to do your job - think of this as our DNA and standardised thinking and that lets every region move fast without reinventing the wheel. We are building the feedback loop to take your feedback and wins, and globalise them, to make Halter’s marketing brilliant in all of our key markets. But ultimately the buck stops with you in Australia - acquire, expand and retain the best farms in one of the best farming countries globally.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

- A full-funnel revenue thinker, not a channel specialist. You've owned acquisition, expansion, and retention outcomes, not just top-of-funnel demand generation. You think in pipeline and revenue contribution first, achieved through strategically driving brand awareness

- Deeply customer-led. You're energised by time on farm with Australian cattle and dairy farmers, and you turn that firsthand understanding into commercial decisions such as messaging, proof points, and channel choices, not just generic content ideas.

- A builder and world-class operator. You will build and lead a high-performing, efficient team, ideally with experience scaling a marketing or growth function in a fast paced environment. You will be comfortable rolling your sleeves up and playing ‘executor’, while also knowing the right time to give space to your team to win (or loose) and learn from that experience

- Genuinely commercial. You’re not just comfortable being measured on a revenue number - you demand it from yourself and your team. You move fast on real bets, you’re allergic to decisions not backed by data, and you thrive on seeing real results in real time.

- First-principles by instinct. You use Halter's global frameworks because they're smart, not because you're told to, and you know exactly when the Australian market demands something different, and can make that case with evidence, not opinion.

- A strong operator across both brand and demand. You’re equally comfortable in a tone-of-voice conversation and a CAC/ROI conversation, and you’re able to move between the two with ease

- Comfortable with ambiguity. You'd rather own the outcome and figure out the path than wait for a fully specified brief.

- AI-forward as a default operating mode, not a tool you occasionally reach for. You and your team use AI to draft and iterate content, personalise outreach at a scale a human team couldn't match manually, and analyse campaign and funnel data faster than a traditional team would. You treat headcount as a last resort after you've pressure-tested what AI can already do, not the other way around.

WHAT THE ROLE LOOKS LIKE

- Strategy & ownership: Own the Australian marketing strategy and budget end to end, setting the vision and the plan to take Halter from early-market entry to category leadership and one of our largest revenue markets.

- Organic…
