Talent Acquisition Partner - eShepherd

About Gallagher

Gallagher is a proudly New Zealand-owned global technology group with more than 1,800 people and products used in over 160 countries. Within our Animal Management business, eShepherd is a fast-growing, globally distributed team building virtual fencing technology to help farmers manage livestock more effectively. As eShepherd scales across markets and functions, we’re looking for a Talent Acquisition Partner to help build the teams behind its next stage of growth.

About the Role

Help build the team taking eShepherd’s virtual fencing technology to the world. As Talent Acquisition Partner, you’ll work closely with eShepherd leaders to find and secure the talent needed to fuel its next stage of global growth.

You’ll own end-to-end recruitment across technology, sales and commercial, marketing, and specialist roles, combining proactive sourcing with smart, market-led hiring strategies. More than filling vacancies, you’ll shape talent pipelines, influence decisions and create an experience that makes exceptional people want to join eShepherd.

This is a visible, hands-on role with real impact. Working across New Zealand, Australia and other international markets, you’ll anticipate future capability needs, strengthen eShepherd’s employer brand and help a fast-moving global business scale with confidence.

What you'll be doing:

• Lead end-to-end recruitment across technology, sales and commercial, marketing, and specialist roles, delivering the talent eShepherd needs to scale

• Design agile, market-led recruitment strategies that keep pace with a fast-growing, globally distributed business

• Identify and engage hard-to-find talent through targeted sourcing, professional networks and proactive market mapping

• Build high-value talent pipelines that give eShepherd earlier access to the capability needed for future growth

• Create a standout, responsive candidate experience that builds trust and brings the eShepherd opportunity to life

• Turn talent, competitor and market insights into confident workforce and hiring decisions

• Champion eShepherd’s employer brand and develop targeted attraction campaigns for different roles and talent markets

• Use recruitment systems, data and technology to remove friction, improve visibility and deliver stronger hiring outcomes

About You

You’ll love this role if you bring the discipline of a great Talent Acquisition professional and the energy to thrive in a fast-moving, start-up-style environment. You understand the value of consistent processes, quality standards and working as one Talent team, while knowing when to adapt, move quickly and find a practical way forward.

Proactive and commercially curious, you build trust quickly, communicate with confidence and take real ownership of outcomes. You’re comfortable when priorities shift or the path isn’t fully defined, bringing sound judgement, fresh thinking and a roll-up-your-sleeves approach without losing sight of candidate experience, team commitments or the recruitment fundamentals that set everyone up for success.

What you'll bring to the team:

• At least five years’ end-to-end talent acquisition experience, ideally recruiting across multiple countries and markets within a complex global environment

• Strong proactive sourcing, market mapping and talent-pipeline capability

• Confidence partnering with senior leaders and influencing hiring decisions

• Excellent relationship-building and stakeholder-management skills across functions, markets and time zones

• The ability to manage multiple vacancies, ambiguity and changing priorities without losing momentum

• Strong communication, organisation and commercial judgement

• Experience using applicant tracking systems, recruitment data and sourcing technology

• A practical, collaborative and solutions-focused approach, with a commitment to continuous improvement

• Experience recruiting in a scaling business or agritech environment would be advantageous

Working at Gallagher

Gallagher offers the stability and expertise of an established global technology organisation, while eShepherd brings the pace and possibility of a high-growth business. You’ll join a team scaling across markets and functions, where priorities move quickly, ideas are welcomed and your impact is visible.

• Hybrid working environment

• A competitive salary and annual performance bonus

• Free onsite parking, a subsidised café and great local eateries
