We’re looking for someone to drive research and understanding of the different partnerships and industry connections that will be crucial to Halter in the US. You will lead in-depth research into the funding and research landscape, then help build materials and form relationships to educate the market about Halter. You will provide support to the wider Halter team, including BD Representatives who are then meeting with Stakeholders in their key States. In your first 12 months, your primary goal will be to grow Halter’s understanding of the industry and possible stakeholders, create priorities across the stakeholders, and connect Halter with different groups.

Analytical: A person who is naturally curious, and adept at running research projects from start to finish. You will be skilled at crafting research questions, knowing where to look for information, and then analyzing both quantitative and qualitative data to generate valuable insights.
-
A strong communicator: You will excel at turning large amounts of information into easy-to-action insights, that will be shared internally and externally. Your documentation will drive understanding across the Halter team, and you will be comfortable with both written and verbal communications.
-
Attitude: You enjoy working in a self-directed way, and have a track record of being a proactive self-starter. You are results-driven, highly motivated and eager to grow alongside a world-class team. You’ll have examples of your adaptability in a high-stakes environment, and times when you have had to think on your feet to deliver results.
Bonus role requirements:
- Experience within the agriculture sector.
- Experience with grant writing.
- Experience with Government relations or Land Grant Universities.
What your day could look like:

- Researching and providing a breakdown of potential partners for Halter in the US; including recommendations on priorities and approach to partnerships. Partnerships may range from research-based partnerships to commercial opportunities.
