Job Description

Ultimo is a leading provider of Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) software for organisations where physical assets are mission-critical to operations.

Our platform supports maintenance, inspections, compliance, safety, and asset lifecycle management across environments — from utilities and energy providers to logistics networks and industrial businesses. In these industries, uptime, reliability, and operational control are not optional — they are fundamental.

Ultimo is part of IFS, combining the stability and global scale of a leading enterprise software group with the agility and entrepreneurial culture of a focused, product-led organisation.

Today, Ultimo operates with strong foundations: a proven product, long-standing customer relationships, and a clear ambition to continue raising the bar in how asset-intensive industries operate.

Why this role exists

Ultimo builds enterprise asset management (EAM) software for organisations where physical assets sit at the core of operations — utilities, energy providers, logistics networks, and industrial businesses.

This is mission-critical software. It supports uptime, compliance, asset performance, and operational reliability.

In the Benelux region, Ultimo has strong brand recognition and a growing install base of commercial customers

The opportunity now is to expand those relationships further — increasing adoption across sites, business units, and use cases, particularly across Utilities, Energy, and Logistics.

We are hiring an Account Executive – Strategic Accounts to focus on growing existing customers in this segment.

Why join Ultimo now

Ultimo is deliberately strengthening its commercial engine — moving from reactive engagement to proactive, value-led account growth

In the commercial segment, this means:

  • Expanding relationships within existing customers
  • Engaging operational and maintenance leaders earlier
  • Elevating conversations from tooling to business impact
  • Driving structured, long-term account growth

For the right AE, this is an opportunity to:

  • Own and grow an existing customer portfolio
  • Build meaningful relationships with real impact
  • Operate with autonomy, ownership, and visibility
  • Contribute directly to regional growth

Your mandate (Install Base / Expansion Focus)

As an Account Executive, you will:

  • Own and grow a portfolio of existing commercial accounts across Utilities, Energy, and Logistics in Benelux
  • Identify and develop expansion opportunities across sites, business units, and use cases
  • Lead upsell and cross-sell opportunities end-to-end
  • Build and deepen relationships with operational leaders, maintenance teams, and decision-makers
  • Position Ultimo through value-led, consultative sales conversations
  • Drive increased adoption and long-term customer value
  • Work closely with Customer Success, Pre-Sales, and Product teams

This role requires someone comfortable creating growth within existing accounts, not waiting for demand.

How you’ll operate

Ultimo operates like a scale-up inside a serious enterprise software business

  • High ownership
  • Clear accountability
  • Short decision lines
  • Expectation to challenge constructively
  • CRM discipline and structured pipeline management

You’ll be expected to operate with independence and commercial judgement

What we’re looking for

This role will suit someone who can demonstrate:

  • Proven success in account growth, expansion, or install base sales
  • Experience in B2B SaaS or software sales environments
  • Strong account planning and relationship management capability
  • Ability to identify and drive upsell and cross-sell opportunities
  • Confidence engaging operational and technical stakeholders
  • Structured pipeline management and forecasting discipline
  • Commercial resilience, ownership, and drive

Please note:

Experience in Utilities, Energy, Logistics, or asset-intensive industries is a strong advantage.

Fluency in Dutch and English is required.

Why Ultimo

  • Proven, mission-critical SaaS product
  • Recognised brand in asset-intensive industries
  • Strong install base with real expansion potential
  • Backed by IFS, operating with scale-up autonomy
  • Real opportunity to influence how the region grows

If you are motivated by building long-term relationships, expanding existing customers, and driving meaningful commercial impact — we would love to speak with you.
