Help change the way Europe farms.\nFor more than 85 years, Gallagher has worked alongside farmers to solve real-world agricultural challenges. Today, that spirit of innovation continues through eShepherd™, Gallagher’s virtual fencing technology for cattle.\neShepherd combines solar-powered, GPS-enabled neckbands with intelligent software, giving farmers greater flexibility to manage cattle, grazing and virtual boundaries remotely. It’s practical technology designed around the realities of farming.\nNow, as eShepherd expands across Europe, we’re looking for an exceptional Business Development Manager to help turn opportunity into sustainable commercial growth.\nThis is not a role focused on maintaining an established portfolio.\nThis is true business development.\nYou’ll open doors, build relationships, develop new markets and win customers. If you’re at your best creating opportunities where they didn’t exist before, this could be the role for you.\nThe opportunity\nAs Business Development Manager - Europe, you’ll take ownership of developing new business across European markets.\nYou’ll build a strong pipeline from the ground up, identify prospective customers and partners, and lead commercial conversations from first introduction through to agreement.\nYou’ll work directly with farmers, livestock producers and industry partners, understanding their challenges and demonstrating where eShepherd can create genuine value. You’ll also bring valuable market intelligence back into the business, helping us understand customer needs, competitor activity, pricing and emerging opportunities.\nYour language skills could be a real advantage\nEurope isn’t one market. Relationships, language, farming practices and local understanding matter.\nWe’re particularly interested in people who combine strong commercial capability with the ability to communicate across cultures.\nFluent English is required, and additional European language capability would be highly advantageous, particularly German, Dutch, French, Hungarian or Swedish.\nWhether you speak two languages or several, your ability to build relationships with customers in their own language could be a genuine strength as we grow.\nWhat you’ll own\n· Hunt for and develop new business opportunities across your markets.\n· Build and actively manage a high-quality commercial pipeline.\n· Develop trusted relationships with farmers, livestock producers, partners and industry stakeholders.\n· Lead compelling customer conversations, presentations and negotiations.\n· Convert opportunities into customers and sustainable revenue.\n· Identify potential markets, partnerships and commercial opportunities.\n· Represent eShepherd at relevant agricultural events and industry forums.\n· Share customer, competitor and market intelligence with the wider business.\n· Collaborate across Gallagher and eShepherd as we continue our international growth.\nWhat you’ll bring\nYou’re a business builder: commercially driven, curious, resilient and comfortable creating something rather than inheriting it.\nIdeally, you’ll bring:\n· A proven record of winning new business and acquiring new customers.\n· Strong prospecting, pipeline management and negotiation capability.\n· A consultative, relationship-led approach to selling.\n· Confidence working autonomously across multiple markets.\n· Strong commercial judgement and the resilience to navigate complex sales cycles.\n· Excellent communication and presentation skills.\n· The flexibility to travel across Europe.\n· Experience in agriculture, livestock, AgTech or technical B2B sales would be highly valuable.\nWhy Gallagher eShepherd?\nHere, you get something unusual: the opportunity and ownership of a growing AgTech business backed by the heritage, scale and credibility of Gallagher.\nIt’s an opportunity to take proven agricultural innovation into new markets, build lasting customer relationships and have a visible impact on our European growth story.\nBring your commercial instinct. Bring your languages.
