Senior Account Executive – Enterprise SaaS | New Business |

Ultimo provides enterprise asset management (EAM) software used by manufacturing and other asset-intensive organisations to manage, maintain, and optimise physical assets across sites and regions.

Customers operate in environments where uptime, safety, compliance, and long-term performance matter. The software is operational backbone, not a nice-to-have tool.

Ultimo is part of IFS, providing long-term backing, scale, and investment while Ultimo retains its own product focus, identity, and entrepreneurial, scale-up operating model.

Why this role exists

Ultimo builds enterprise asset management software for organisations where physical assets sit at the heart of operations.

Our software helps customers improve uptime, reduce operational risk, strengthen compliance, and increase asset performance.

• Own a broad Enterprise territory
• Build pipeline and create opportunities from scratch
• Operate with autonomy and visibility
• Influence how Ultimo continues to grow across the UK market
• Join a business with proven product-market fit and strong executive backing

This is an opportunity to build, not maintain.
