Senior Account Executive – Enterprise SaaS | New Logo Manufacturing
Why this role exists
Ultimo builds enterprise asset management software for organisations where physical assets sit at the heart of operations — with a particular strength in manufacturing environments, alongside utilities, infrastructure, and healthcare.
This is mission-critical software, deeply embedded in how customers operate day to day. The product is proven, the customer base is real, and in several markets Ultimo is already a trusted standard.
The opportunity now is about how the business grows next.
Ultimo is deliberately raising the bar on its commercial motion — shifting toward more proactive, executive-level, value-led enterprise selling, with a clear focus on winning new manufacturing customers across the UK.
We’re hiring a Senior Account Executive to help shape that next chapter, owning a manufacturing-led, net-new territory.
This is not a plug-and-play role. It’s a role for someone who wants ownership, influence, and genuine impact.
About Ultimo
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 join Ultimo now
Ultimo is moving from legacy success to intentional growth.
In some markets, historic strength led to reactive selling and under-leveraged opportunity. Leadership is openly addressing this and investing in a more deliberate enterprise sales approach, with greater emphasis on net-new logo acquisition within manufacturing.
For experienced AEs, this creates a rare opportunity:
- A credible product and customer base already in place
- Clear executive sponsorship to raise standards
- A manufacturing patch with genuine whitespace, allowing sellers to shape how the business wins new customers
What you’ll own
- End-to-end ownership of net-new enterprise and upper mid-market opportunities within a manufacturing-led patch
- Proactive pipeline creation across large manufacturing organisations
- Executive-level, value-based sales conversations with operational, technical, and commercial leaders
- Close collaboration with Pre-Sales, BDRs, and Customer teams
- Direct input into Ultimo’s evolving UK go-to-market approach
How you’ll operate
Ultimo operates like a scale-up inside a serious enterprise business:
- High autonomy and fast decision-making
- Direct access to leadership and short lines to power
- A genuine expectation to take initiative and drive change
Qualifications
What we’re looking for
This role will suit someone who can demonstrate:
- True quota-carrying ownership of complex B2B or enterprise deals
- Experience building pipeline proactively, including outbound pursuits into large manufacturing organisations
- The ability to initiate buying journeys, not just respond to demand
- Strong diagnostic discovery and value-led selling skills
- Commercial resilience and sound judgement in less-than-perfect conditions
Industry experience in manufacturing, industrial, or engineering environments is a strong plus; however, sales craft and mindset matter more than domain background.
Interested?
If you’re motivated by ownership, judgement, and the opportunity to build a manufacturing customer base from the ground up — we’d love to hear from you.
