Job description

Jora New Zealand will close on 9th September 2026. Thank you for being with us, we are cheering you on as you continue your career journey.

We're looking for an Events Specialist who's great at doing one thing above all else: making things happen. This role is about rolling up your sleeves and delivering events that connect with Australian cattle and dairy farmers in ways that feel real, not corporate.

You'll work across two very different kinds of events, and both matter equally. On one side: scrappy, rep-led grassroots events alongside our sales team - think farm BBQs, pub shouts, small on-farm gatherings, where the whole point is trust, not polish. On the other: our biggest national and high-profile events, where Halter needs to show up with genuine power and stand out from everyone else in the room. You'll support both, learning when an event needs to be cheap and authentic, and when it needs to be premium and unmissable.

This role involves regular travel around the country for events, and requires a full driver's licence.

What The Role Looks Like

Supporting grassroots, rep-led events at scale

working closely with our sales team, you'll help support the team running frequent events that build trust on the ground - farm BBQs, open days, welcome events. You'll make sure every one is tracked, lead-gen is captured, and Territory Managers, Business Development Executives and Account Managers feel genuinely supported rather than left to organise it themselves.

Supporting national and high-profile events.

You'll play a hands-on role in our biggest brand moments - the events built to make Halter stand out at scale. This means logistics, supplier coordination, on-the-ground execution, and making sure every detail holds up to the standard these events demand.

Execution and logistics.

You'll own the details that make events run smoothly: venue bookings, supplier coordination, travel and accommodation, merch and signage. On event days, you'll be on the ground handling setup, registrations, and troubleshooting whatever comes up. You'll also run pre- and post-event comms including invitations, reminders, follow-ups, surveys, working with the content team to make sure everything's clear, accurate, and on-brand.

Working cross-functionally.

You'll work closely with reps, sales, and the wider marketing team to keep everyone aligned and prepared. That means making sure sales understands the purpose of each event, marketing has what they need to support you, and information flows clearly so nothing falls through the cracks.

Tracking results.

You'll help track event outcomes - registrations, attendance, pipeline impact - and pull together feedback and learnings to make the next event better than the last.

Who We Are Looking For

Ready to roll up your sleeves.

You enjoy getting into the details and making things happen. Organised, reliable, and you take ownership of your work without needing to be chased.

A clear and confident communicator.

You're comfortable talking to anyone. Reps, Account Managers, suppliers, farmers at a BBQ, or a stakeholder at a national event. Friendly, practical, and you ask questions when something's unclear rather than guessing.

Keen to learn and grow.

You're building a career, and you want the range: grassroots and high-production, not just one. You take feedback well and are motivated to keep getting better. There's a real path here to grow into a senior specialist role as you build that range.

Calm and capable.

You stay level-headed when plans change or something goes wrong on the day. You're solutions-oriented, know when to escrow, and help the team keep moving.

• Delicious snacks and drinks are available for your daily flow.
• Healthy body, healthy mind. We're partnered with Southern Cross Health Insurance to support your well‑being.
• We offer 6 months of fully paid parental leave for primary caregivers, 4 weeks of fully paid secondary caregiver leave and many other parental benefits that support you and your family.
• Our personal growth is important. Halter offers an annual $1000 self‑development budget to be used for anything that fuels personal growth.
• Our time to recharge is valued, we're offered wellness leave and unlimited paid annual leave.
• Importantly, we offer an inclusive and attractive remuneration package made up of salary, benefits and an employee stock ownership plan.

Our Office First Approach

Humans are wired for connection. Being office first is a core pillar of our culture because in-person connections drive your growth, learning, impact, and relationships. Strong relationships make it easier to disagree, give feedback, and do meaningful work together.

We're office first, not office only. Working from the office is our default, but we flex when needed. We have a high-trust culture where everyone is trusted to do what's best for Halter.

Our office vibe is special, the high energy and spectacular people make work enjoyable. Your growth and impact are unlimited here, coming from solving problems, innovating, and constantly learning from each other.
