Nofence has built the world’s first virtual fencing solution for livestock. The technology consists of a solar-powered collar that communicates with an app over the cellular network. Through the app, farmers can set up a new grazing area in seconds, and the long days of installing and moving fences are officially over! Livestock can graze longer and in more areas, and the farmer will always have visibility of their location. This means better profitability and more free time for farmers as well as improved animal welfare.

With a strong foundation of 3,000+ customers in Norway, the UK, Spain, we are now expanding in the US. To support this growth, we’re looking for a Sales and Support Specialist to join our dynamic team.

Our US headquarters is in Minneapolis, Minnesota, but we’re building a remote-friendly team across the country. We’re currently hiring in Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Illinois and Minnesota.

Join us on the journey to revolutionize agriculture and create a better everyday life for farmers and animals!

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.
