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?

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.

ABOUT THE ROLE: As Halter scales into multiple hardware products and new geographies, the gap between what we're planning to sell and what we're able to make has real consequences. Getting that balance right, consistently and at speed, is the job of the Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) Lead. This role owns the S&OP process at Halter: the cadence, the data, the conversations, and the decisions. This is Halter's first dedicated S&OP role, so you'll be building the process from scratch - designing the cadence and tooling just as much as running it, while bringing our commercial and operations teams together to build a shared plan both sides trust.   WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR: - Design and own the end-to-end S&OP cadence at Halter, from demand review through supply review to executive S&OP. - Facilitate the monthly S&OP cycle, bringing together commercial, forecasting, supply planning, and operations stakeholders and driving the process to a consensus plan. - Identify mismatches between demand and supply early, quantify the impact, and drive the cross-functional conversations needed to resolve them. - Maintain a clear view of inventory and availability across the product portfolio and markets. - Manage planning across Halter's international markets, accounting for different lead times, freight modes, regulatory requirements, and demand patterns by region. - Prepare executive S&OP meetings so leadership can focus on decisions, not data, surfacing key trade-offs with a recommended path. - Track actions and commitments coming out of S&OP and hold teams accountable to them. - Continuously improve the S&OP process as Halter scales, the product portfolio grows, and planning maturity increases. - Build and maintain the reporting and visibility Halter needs to understand its supply health and forecast accuracy - giving leadership a clear, current picture of where the business stands and where the risks are.   WHAT YOUR DAY COULD LOOK LIKE: - Solid experience running S&OP or integrated business planning processes in a hardware or manufacturing environment. You've owned the process, not just participated in it. - Experience building or significantly improving an
