Your Impact

Procurement is the single biggest cost position for industrial companies, often over 50% of revenue. It's also their biggest lever to drive profitability. Yet most still run it manually with outdated tools and gut decisions. AI has reached almost every industry, but it stops at the factory gate.

As an Account Executive at Tacto, you'll change that. Backed by a stellar prospecting team, 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. You're selling industrial AI to the companies that are the backbone of the German economy. We have 7,000+ potential customers in DACH alone, have Product-Market-Fit, close to zero churn and a product that genuinely solves our customers' 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 our AI turns their data into savings, compliance, and strategic advantage. What you show them is not a better tool, it's a system that thinks alongside the buyer. This is a growth phase where your wins directly shape our trajectory. Own your numbers, convert your leads, and help us bring AI to the physical world of manufacturing.
