About Ultimo

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 complex 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.

Job Description

Account Executive – New Business (Enterprise), Benelux

Focus on Utilities, Energy & Logistics 

Fluency in Dutch and English is required for this customer-facing role.
📍 Benelux | Hybrid / Remote
 

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. The opportunity now is to expand into new enterprise accounts across Utilities, Energy, and Logistics.

We are hiring a New Business Account Executive to focus exclusively on net-new customer acquisition in this segment.

This is a true hunter role.

Why join Ultimo now

Ultimo is deliberately strengthening its commercial engine — moving from reactive demand to proactive, value-led selling.

In the enterprise segment, this means:

  • Building new relationships in underpenetrated verticals
  • Engaging operational and maintenance leaders earlier
  • Elevating conversations from tooling to business impact
  • Driving new logo growth in strategically important industries

For the right AE, this is an opportunity to:

  • Own a clear vertical focus
  • Open new accounts in serious, asset-heavy industries
  • Build something meaningful with autonomy and visibility
  • Operate in a structured but entrepreneurial sales environment

Your mandate (Net New / Hunter Focus)

As an Account Executive, you will:

  • Own new business acquisition across Utilities, Energy, and Logistics in Benelux
  • Proactively build pipeline through targeted outbound and account planning
  • Identify and qualify opportunities within enterprise organisations
  • Lead full sales cycles from first conversation to close
  • Engage operational leaders, maintenance managers, and decision-makers
  • Position Ultimo as a long-term operational partner

This role requires someone comfortable creating momentum, not waiting for it.

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 net-new B2B SaaS or software sales selling to enterprise organizations
  • Strong outbound and prospecting capability
  • Confidence leading full sales cycles
  • Ability to engage operational, technical as well as C-Suite stakeholders
  • Structured pipeline management and forecasting discipline
  • Commercial resilience 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
  • Clear commercial growth mandate
  • Backed by IFS, operating with scale-up autonomy
  • Real opportunity to influence how the region grows
     

If you are motivated by building new relationships, opening strategic accounts, and operating with autonomy in a serious software business — we would love to speak with you.

Additional Information

 

 

  • IFS Referral Bonus Code: SH
  • Job Location: On site
  • Core Responsibilities

    You will be responsible for driving net-new customer acquisition across the Utilities, Energy, and Logistics sectors in the Benelux region. This involves proactive outbound prospecting, managing full sales cycles, and positioning Ultimo as a strategic operational partner to enterprise-level decision-makers.

    Requirements

    The role requires proven experience in B2B SaaS or enterprise software sales with a strong focus on outbound prospecting and full-cycle management. Fluency in both Dutch and English is mandatory, and experience in asset-intensive industries is considered a significant advantage.
