(Senior) Account Executive

YOUR IMPACT

Procurement is the single biggest cost position for industrial companies – often 60-70% of revenue. It's also their biggest lever to drive profitability. Yet most still run it manually with outdated tools and gut decisions.

As an Account Executive at Tacto, you'll change that. Backed by a strong prospecting team that fills your pipeline with qualified leads, you own the sales process from first meeting to signed contract – helping manufacturing companies across Germany transform their biggest cost center into their biggest competitive advantage. We have 15,000+ potential customers in DACH alone and a product that genuinely solves their problems. Your job is to show them what's possible and close the deal. You'll work directly with Heads of Procurement and C-Level decision-makers who control millions in spend, demonstrating how Tacto turns data into savings, compliance, and strategic advantage. This is a dynamic growth phase where your wins directly shape our trajectory. Own your numbers, convert your leads, and help us build the future of industrial procurement.

OUR BACKGROUND

Tacto is building the intelligence layer that connects AI to the physical world of manufacturing, starting with procurement. AI is transforming every industry, but it stops at the factory gate. The knowledge that holds manufacturing together - part costs, suppliers, materials - is scattered across systems and people. Over 50% of a product's cost originates from suppliers, making procurement the single largest cost lever in manufacturing and the missing connection between the digital and the physical world. Yet it still runs on Excel and legacy systems. We're changing that with our Procurement Intelligence Platform, trusted by hundreds of companies running billions of Euros of material.

Based in Munich, we are 100+ passionate builders who are in-office, with high expectations, fast growth, and a lot of fun. We are supported by >€50m from Sequoia, Index, and Europe's leading tech entrepreneurs and industry veterans.

WHY IT MATTERS

Manufacturing forms Europe's economic backbone, driving a fourth of Europe's GDP and providing over 30% of jobs. These hidden champions and global market leaders manufacture the physical world around us, from the machines that build our cities to the medical devices that save lives.

But the world is changing. The US dominates the digital world of bits. China is scaling the world of atoms, manufacturing at unprecedented speed and scale. Geopolitics are more uncertain than ever. Europe's strength lies in its deep industrial knowledge through generations of engineering. Manufacturing worldwide runs on European machines and software. But that heritage is only an advantage if we leverage it in the age of AI.

Tacto builds the AI that connects Atoms and Bits, empowering our Industrial Base to Stay Stronger and building a lighthouse for European tech.
