eShepherd is Gallagher’s boldest venture yet, a tech-forward AgTech start-up backed by 85+ years of global innovation. We’re progress-over-perfection and unapologetically hands-on. Our team builds world-first virtual fencing technology that’s reshaping agriculture for good.
At Gallagher, we don’t just imagine the future, we build it.
eShepherd is our breakthrough virtual fencing technology, enabling ranchers to monitor, move and manage cattle from anywhere.
Using solar-powered, GPS-enabled neckbands, producers can create digital fence lines from their phone, transforming how land is used, reducing labour and improving environmental and animal welfare outcomes.
This is innovation with real-world impact on pasture health, productivity and profitability.
Find the opportunity. Start the conversation. Turn interest into action.
eShepherd is growing in the US, and we’re looking for a Customer Engagement Representative who can connect with livestock producers, understand their operation and turn genuine interest in eShepherd into commercial opportunities.

Delivering product demonstrations, representing eShepherd at events and presentations that bring eShepherd’s value to life.

Addressing customer questions and objections through the sales journey.
Supporting negotiation and close, and ensuring a smooth transition from sales into onboarding.
Maintaining accurate lead and opportunity information within the CRM.
Tracking conversion, pipeline growth and revenue performance.
We’re looking for someone who can comfortably talk cattle, grazing and technology, while knowing how to move a commercial conversation forward.
Ideally, you’ll bring:
Sales experience within a solution-selling environment.
Knowledge of AgTech solutions and/or a farming background.
Strong interest or knowledge in beef cattle grazing management.
Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
A commercial, results-focused mindset.
Confidence working independently in a fast-paced environment.
Experience using CRM and sales tools.
The ability to collaborate effectively across a wider team.
Alongside the opportunity to join eShepherd at an exciting stage of US growth, our benefits include:
Competitive base salary USD $80,000 to $95,000 plus up to 20% performance-based incentive.
Medical, Dental and Vision
Life, Accident and Disability Insurance
