Job Summary
As a Senior Product Manager for Launch you will play a critical role in one of the most important parts of the customer journey - implementing the system on a farm training animals and users and setting both up for a long and successful future with Halter.
Halter is a psychological and physical step-change for our customers - it isnt like onboarding to your typical consumer SaaS product. The system interacts with the land the animals and the people on a farm so it is vital we do a good job of launching each and every customer with a high degree of precision and care. That said we have big ambitions and growth plans so we need to be able to do it in a way that scales. We need to delete steps where it makes sense lean into automation and productisation where possible and know when to apply a human touch for maximum impact.
Your job will be to immerse yourself in this space and orchestrate the development of a world-class launch process working closely with our customers and subject-matter experts on both the product and go-to-market sides of the business.
What youll do
- Own the productisation of launch end-to-end. Take full ownership of this problem space - understanding the status quo - what we do now and why we do it that way - and then working with our launch team other product teams and our customers to discover defining and deliver impactful improvements to this part of the customer journey.
- Lead continuous discovery and delivery. Continuous discovery and development leveraging learnings and technical progress to make launch and onboarding 1% better every day. Throw away the textbook frameworks and processes - our product and the way it is implemented by our customers is unique - be pragmatic and nimble to identify impactful opportunities and deliver results.

Direct engagement with farmers in the field as well as internal experts to gather insights and feedback to inform the problems and opportunities we focus on.

- Shape product strategy. Identify a north star for launching customers and use that to influence Halters product strategy as well as identifying how advancements in Halters product influences the way we launch customers. Youll look ahead to where technology customer needs and the industry are going - not just where they are today.
- Be a product advocate and storyteller. Clearly communicate the why behind what were building. You will have stakeholders across Halter as well as in every single customer that implements Halter on their farm - you need to bring them on the journey and help them understand the big picture for every step of the launch process.
- Leverage AI and automation. The state of AI and automation changes by the day. Ignoring this means getting left behind. You will invest the time understanding how AI can be leveraged to increase the amount of work you get done as well as the velocity of that work.
Who you are:

You care deeply about building things that solve real problems in the real world. Experience with the onboarding stages of the customer journey especially during periods of rapid scale is a bonus.
- Comfortable with ambiguity and complexity. You dont need everything to be defined up-front. Youre confident navigating uncertainty breaking down messy problems testing ideas and iterating toward better solutions.
- Highly curious and eager to learn. You enjoy becoming an expert in your domain and youre motivated by understanding how things really work.
- Strong at prioritisation and focus. You can cut through noise identify the signal and make hard calls about what not to do. You understand that progress comes from focus not feature volume.
- Comfortable leveraging AI and automation. You know your way around relevant AI tooling and understand how to leverage it effectively in the work you do as a force multiplier.
- A clear and compelling communicator. You can articulate problems decisions and trade-offs simply and effectively to a wide range of audiences - from engineers to farmers to executives.

- You have great product taste. You care about simplicity usability and elegance. You sweat the details because you know they matter especially for complex products used in demanding real-world environments.
What sets Halter apart from most SaaS companies
- Halter is real-world in every sense. Our product becomes a digital twin of land and animals. It guides animals models land and monitors behaviour in real time. Product decisions have immediate physical consequences in the real world.
- We build for an extreme spectrum of users. Some of our customers are data-hungry and AI-fluent. For others this may be the first technology - especially a mobile app - theyve used to run their business. Crafting products that work beautifully across this spectrum is hard and its critical to get right.
- We are exceptionally close to our customers. You will talk to farmers constantly. Youll hear feedback early often and unfiltered - both good and bad. The best insights often come from being in the field which usually means gumboots and standing almost literally in our customers shoes.
- We take risks and blaze new trails. Much of what we build has no existing template. Greenfield product technical and design challenges are common and our willingness to tackle them head-on is what keeps us ahead of the competition.
- We turn ideas into reality fast. We have world-class designers and engineers who bring concepts to life with speed and quality. As quickly as we can define a solution we look for lightweight ways to test it in the field. Prototypes and conversations are useful but our most valuable learning comes from seeing real products used by real farmers doing real work.
