About the Role

Your mission will be to follow up on potential and current customers. Currently we do not engage in outreach sales or cold calling. All outbound calls are made through enquires and follow up calls. We thrive to create good customer relations, or as we say in Norwegian a “kjøle god” customer experience.

We will offer full training in our product, but previous experience of working with farmers would be a great advantage.

• Contribution to projects across the organization.
• Improving the customer journey.
• Contributing to developing the UK Team and shaping our structure.

About you

We are looking for someone who is:

• Independent and self-driven.

About Nofence

Managing livestock has always been a challenge. Humanity has tried everything from herding with dogs to walling the animals in with barbed wire, electric, and wooden fences, but these are costly and time-consuming solutions and often in conflict with the local wildlife. It has also left vast areas of potential pasture overgrown and underutilized.

Until now.

Enter virtual fences. What started as a small group of farmers and engineers with a big idea has become Nofence – the world’s first virtual fencing solution for livestock. Curious about how it works? Find out more here.
