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.

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.

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.
