Customer Experience Director

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.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

When a farmer needs help, your team answers.

That means 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in every market where Halter operates. Calving doesn’t wait for business hours, and neither do we.

As Customer Experience Director, you’ll lead Halter’s global Customer Experience organisation. You’ll oversee our Support Centre of Excellence in New Zealand, global escalations, Product Support and customer experience teams across every region.

This is a role for someone who can build the machine and stay close enough to the field to know whether it’s working.

You’ll own the global Customer Experience strategy, support operating model, organisation design, budget, headcount and tooling. You’ll lead the regional Heads of Customer Experience and be directly accountable to the executive team for the outcomes of the function.

One day, you’ll be working with your leadership team to design the support model for a new market. The next, you’ll be reviewing global escalation trends with Product and Engineering to make sure a recurring issue is fixed at the root. By the end of the week, you might be listening to a frontline support call, working with a regional leader on queue health, or helping the executive team understand what farmers are experiencing on the ground.

This role owns real customer and business outcomes. You’ll be accountable for response times, resolution times, customer satisfaction, escalation rates, cost to serve, support quality, leadership capability and the culture of a global team of more than 100 people.

You’ll work closely with Launch, Fleet Operations, Product, Engineering and Go-to-market Operations to make sure Halter runs as one company and farmers get the experience they deserve.

The impact is significant. Customer Experience is a major business pillar and a core part of Halter’s competitive advantage. This is one of the most important leadership roles in the business.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

We’re looking for a rare kind of global support leader: someone who has built high-performing customer organisations before, knows what exceptional looks like, and has the scars, standards and instincts to prove it.

You’ll have led customer support teams at scale in a fast-gro
