Why Join Us

At eShepherd, we’re transforming livestock management with smart virtual fencing technology that gives farmers more freedom, flexibility, and insight. Our mission is simple: make farming easier, more sustainable, and more productive — without compromise.

We’re in a high-growth phase. That means big opportunities, rapid decision-making, and the chance to shape something that’s scaling globally. You’ll be part of a team building new products, entering new markets, and solving real-world challenges for farmers every day.

What makes us different? We combine startup-to-growth energy with the backing of Gallagher — a global leader trusted for nearly 85 years across 100+ countries. That means you get the excitement of building something new, with the confidence that comes from proven reliability and resources.

Our roots run deep in a purpose we live every day: Protect what matters most. It’s not just about technology — it’s about trust, care, and impact. From supporting livestock operations to helping farmers thrive, this purpose shapes how we innovate and how we look after our people and their families.
