Head of Sales

**The Company**

Our purpose at Gallagher is to ‘protect what matters most’ and we live it every day. Not only does our technology protect some of the world’s highest security environments and agriculture businesses in over 160 countries, but our purpose also means we care deeply about our people and their families. Gallagher has been in business for over 85 years, and we are just as committed to creativity and innovation today as when we started. Headquartered in New Zealand, and with offices in 10 locations around the world, we’re proud to employ over 1400 people throughout #TeamGallagher. The North American market has experienced exponential growth over the last four years. We have offices located in Riverside, MO, Canton, GA and Owen Sound, Canada.

**The Product**

Throughout our history we’ve been known to develop award-winning solutions, and we have launched the next. Named eShepherd, this future farm technology allows farmers to monitor, move and contain livestock anywhere on their ranch, breaking down those difficult to fence paddocks into smaller grazing cells to run a more efficient and thriving pasture-based system. Our technology provides real-time data and 24/7 visibility of livestock, increasing productivity and profitability, improving animal health outcomes, and offering a cost-effective solution for environmental compliance and sustainable practices. eShepherd is a solar powered, GPS enabled, livestock neckband that enables you to simply draw your virtual fence anywhere on your property and your cattle learn to move with and remain within the virtual barrier.
