Nofence is a Norwegian scale-up building the world’s first virtual fencing solution for livestock.
We’re currently expanding internationally and hiring a Senior Sales Executive for Ireland. Our team works across borders, with colleagues based in Norway, the UK, the USA and Spain. From engineers and designers to grazing advisors and customer support, we combine practical knowledge with technical expertise.
We're looking for someone who is self-motivated, energetic, and hardworking, preferably with experience from Agriculture or AgTech. To succeed in this role, it’s important that you’re based in Ireland and have a strong understanding of Irish farming practices, local culture and the language farmers use day to day. This is a remote role within Ireland. Since we are still in the early stages of our growth, you will have the opportunity to have a huge impact on how we build our team.
Join us to support sustainable farming and help reshape a global industry, one field at a time.
About the Role
Your mission will be to follow up on potential and current customers. We thrive to create good customer relations. This requires that we understand the customers needs and can guide them through how to best utilize our product. We will offer full training in our product, but previous experience of working with farmers would be a great advantage. Some travel is required, like customer visits, fairs and monthly visits to our UK office in Shropshire to stay connected with the wider team.
Main Responsibilities
- Respond to and close inbound sales from Ireland and non-commercial Nofence countries, via phone and email, ticketing system, and other tools.
- Lead outbound sales efforts in Ireland, in a structured and scalable manner from strategy to execution.
- Host webinars, field days and demo days across Ireland, Scotland and UK
- Represent Nofence with partners, cooperatives and government officials in Ireland
- Travel to relevant events and occasionally customers
- Contribute to sales forecast for Ireland
- Contribute with relevant market insight to global teams and product development
In the current phase of growing our team we will need someone who is adaptable and willing to contribute to non-sales related tasks like;
- Support
- Contribution to projects across the organization
- Improving the customer journey
- Contributing to developing the team and shaping our structure
About you
We are looking for someone who has:
- A degree or equivalent in a field relevant to the position. Practical experience and engagement can compensate for a lack of formal qualifications
- Proven experience as a sales executive or similar role in a tech company or agriculture.
- A background which makes you able to answer questions related to agriculture, pasture management, or animal husbandry
- Keen interest in our product and ability to gain competence in our technology
- Excellent English oral and writing skills
- Strong communication skills
We are looking for someone who is:
- Independent and self-driven
- Ambitious and result-oriented
- Genuinely interested in livestock production
- A team player with a heart for the greater good
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.
