[Hiring] Account Executive – Strategic Accounts (Expansion), Manufacturing @IFS

Role Description

Ultimo builds enterprise asset management (EAM) software for organisations where physical assets sit at the heart of operations - particularly across manufacturing, logistics, food & beverage, utilities, and facilities. This is mission-critical software, embedded deeply in how customers operate day to day.

You’ll inherit a portfolio of commercial accounts that already use Ultimo. Your mandate is to expand those relationships - across business units, sites, and product modules - and turn initial deployments into enterprise-wide adoption. This is a build-and-expand role - not new logo hunting, and not passive account management.

As a Senior Account Executive, you will:

• Own and grow a portfolio of install-base accounts
• Focus strategically on your top accounts
• Build and execute account expansion strategies based on real operational insight
• Identify opportunities across plants, sites, and business units
• Lead upsell and cross-sell sales cycles end-to-end
• Engage operations leaders, IT, procurement, and C-level stakeholders
• Drive value-led, consultative sales conversations
• Collaborate closely with EU sales teams, Customer Success, and Pre-Sales
• Help shape how US–EU collaboration works in practice

This role is about expansion through insight, not volume through activity.

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

• High autonomy and ownership
• Direct access to leadership
• Expectation to take initiative and improve how things are done
• CRM-driven environment with clear expectations around pipeline and forecasting

You’ll be trusted to run your accounts, make decisions, and drive outcomes.

Qualifications

• Proven success growing install base / expansion accounts in SaaS or enterprise software
• Experience selling into manufacturing, industrial, or asset-intensive environments (or adjacent sectors)
• Ability to create pipeline within existing accounts
• Strong diagnostic discovery and value-based selling capability
• Confidence navigating complex, multi-stakeholder organisations
• Strong commercial judgement and deal ownership
• High ownership mindset and bias toward action
• Experience with asset management, CMMS, or operational software is a strong plus

Benefits

• Salary Range: $125,000 to $150,000 plus 100% variable compensation, uncapped
• Flexible paid time off, including sick and holiday
• Medical, dental, & vision insurance
• 401K with Company contribution
• Flexible spending accounts
• Life insurance and disability benefits
• Tuition assistance
• Community involvement and volunteering events
