About Ultimo

Ultimo is a leading provider of Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) software for organisations where physical assets are critical to operations — including manufacturing, utilities, logistics, and infrastructure.

Our platform supports maintenance, inspections, compliance, safety, and asset lifecycle management across complex environments. It is deeply embedded in day-to-day operations where uptime and performance matter.

Ultimo is part of IFS, a global enterprise software company. This provides long-term backing, global scale, and continued investment — while Ultimo retains the agility and entrepreneurial mindset of a focused SaaS business.

Today, Ultimo operates with a strong foundation: a proven product, long-standing customer relationships, and clear growth ambition across key markets.

Why this role exists

Ultimo builds enterprise asset management (EAM) software for organisations where operational performance depends on the reliability of physical assets.

In the Benelux region, the business has strong brand recognition and an established customer base. The next phase of growth is focused on expanding into new enterprise accounts, particularly across Utilities, Energy, and Logistics. We are hiring a Senior Account Executive – New Business to lead that expansion. This is a true enterprise hunting role — focused on opening strategic accounts, building pipeline, and leading complex sales cycles.

This means:

• Expanding into high-value, asset-intensive industries

For experienced enterprise AEs, this creates an opportunity to:
