Role brief

growthroles summary, based on the employer's posting.

What you'll do

  • Grow existing commercial accounts, prioritizing key customers and expanding into additional sites, plants and business units
  • Build account plans from operational insight, then create opportunities across the customer base
  • Run upsell and cross-sell deals from discovery through close with operations, IT, procurement and executive buyers
  • Use consultative, value-focused conversations to connect customer needs with expansion opportunities
  • Coordinate with European sales, Customer Success and Pre-Sales, while improving how US, EU teams work together

What you bring

  • You have a record of expanding existing SaaS or enterprise software accounts
  • You have sold into manufacturing, industrial settings or another asset-intensive sector
  • You can generate new opportunities within current customers and lead discovery around their needs
  • You can manage complex buying groups and take commercial ownership of deals

Who this fits

This role suits an experienced seller who wants to grow established accounts rather than hunt for new customers or manage accounts passively. You’ll work remotely in the US, with the Midwest or East Coast preferred, and collaborate with European teams.

From the employer

Ultimo is an industry-leading SaaS EAM platform used by 2,000+ organisations globally to maximise uptime, control costs, and operate safely.

The platform is modular, scalable, and deeply embedded in operational environments - from manufacturing plants and production lines to logistics fleets and critical infrastructure.

Ultimo is part of IFS, a global enterprise software company with 6,000+ employees. This provides long-term backing, scale, and continued investment - while Ultimo retains the agility and focus of a dedicated product organisation.

📍 US Remote (Midwest / East Coast preferred)
EAM / CMMS | Install Base Growth


Why this role exists

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.

Why join Ultimo now

EAM is a core strategic focus for IFS.

A significant investment was made to accelerate growth and establish market leadership and the North American expansion is a key part of that strategy.

For you, that creates a clear opportunity:

  • Warm accounts with real expansion potential
    You’re not opening doors from scratch. These customers already trust the product your role is to unlock the next phase of growth.
  • You help define how the US market scales
    North America is still early. You won’t inherit a fixed playbook you’ll help shape how expansion is done.
  • Meaningful deals, realistic timelines
    Commercial accounts are large enough to matter, but agile enough to move. You’ll close impactful deals in quarters, not years.
  • Visibility and career impact
    Strong performance here is visible. You’re not one of hundreds you’re helping build the US growth engine.

Your mandate (Install Base / Expansion)

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.

How you’ll operate

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.

What We’re Offering

  • 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

The bottom line

This is strategic account expansion within a proven customer base.

If you’re motivated by ownership, commercial impact, and the opportunity to build something meaningful in the US market we’d love to hear from you.

What we’re looking for

This role will suit someone who can demonstrate:

  • 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.

Ultimo's headquarters is based in the Netherlands with more than 2000 global customers, and is a leading Enterprise Asset Management software provider with a strong reputation for the completeness, flexibility, and configurability of its SaaS EAM solutions.

In the world of Ultimo, asset management processes and the software they require take centre stage.
