The Opportunity

We’re looking for a driven and strategic Business Development Manager to take eShepherd into the hands of more European farmers. You’ll be at the forefront of transforming livestock farming through Gallagher’s breakthrough virtual fencing technology.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role where you’ll balance strategic thinking with sales execution—working cross-functionally with our global eShepherd, marketing, and product teams to drive adoption and shape the future of sustainable agriculture.

What You’ll be Doing

• Build trust and engagement with farmers, ranchers, and industry stakeholders
• Drive adoption and revenue growth of eShepherd across Europe
• Qualify and convert high-value inbound leads into long-term customers
• Shape market entry and customer acquisition strategies in priority regions
• Gather insights to influence product roadmaps and regional innovation
• Partner with Customer Success to ensure exceptional onboarding and service
• Represent Gallagher at key industry events and speaking opportunities
• Collaborate globally with marketing, product, and sales colleagues
• Provide market and competitor intelligence for strategic decision making
  

Initially, this will look like

• Identifying and engaging early adopter farms in 1–2 key European markets
• Developing and executing a go-to-market plan tailored to regional needs
• Converting pilot customers and gathering feedback to inform product refinement
• Building a pipeline of qualified leads and strategic partnerships
• Representing eShepherd at major AgTech events to build awareness and credibility
  

The product: eShepherd™

At Gallagher, we don’t just imagine the future—we build it.

eShepherd™ is our breakthrough virtual fencing solution that enables farmers to monitor, move, and manage cattle from anywhere. Using GPS-enabled, solar-powered neckbands, farmers can create digital fence lines from their phone—transforming land use, reducing labour, and improving both environmental and animal welfare outcomes.

This is innovation with real-world impact—on pasture health, productivity, and profitability.
