About the company

At the company, we’re on a mission to enable farmers and graziers to run the most productive and sustainable operations. Our customers are using the company 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 the company. It's changing lives and transforming an industry. People join the company 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 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

Farmers with the company are writing the playbook for a world-first farming system, they are paving a new way of managing their land and animals, and in doing so, are unlocking more productive and sustainable uses of the world's agricultural land along with driving optimal profitability outcomes.

We've recently launched into the Beef Market! This is an opportunity to build a new market from the bottom up. The Beef industry has not had a disruptive and influential product in years and this is your chance to make a huge impact.

This role requires a proactive and hands-on approach, with a focus on both expansion and long-term customer satisfaction.

In this role, you will prioritise daily efforts that optimise growth performance and drive value for your customers. Working closely with cross-functional teams, including Product, Support, and other regional sales teams, you’ll share field insights to ensure the company’s technology continues to meet the needs of farmers. Your contributions will directly support the company’s mission to support 50% of the world's habitable landmass to be more productive and sustainable. This role is based in the Taranaki/Whanganui region. Applicants must live within the region. Travel is required to meet with farmers daily.

• Problem Solving & Collaboration: Resourceful and quick-thinking, you work well with cross-functional teams to address challenges and drive solutions.
