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 this role exists
Ultimo builds enterprise asset management software for organisations where physical assets sit at the heart of operations.
Our software helps customers improve uptime, reduce operational risk, strengthen compliance, and increase asset performance.

We're hiring an Account Executive to drive net-new customer acquisition across a mixed commercial territory.
