Your Impact

Tacto is redefining manufacturing with its Procurement Intelligence platform that 300+ manufacturers in DACH already use every day. We've found product-market fit, retention is strong, and the pipeline keeps growing fast. Now we want to level up our ambition even more and grow beyond our proven core - into adjacent markets, segments, and revenue streams.

We're expanding on three core fronts:

  1. International expansion — taking Tacto beyond DACH into new geographies

  2. Enterprise expansion — moving upmarket into the enterprise segment

  3. Account expansion — unlocking growth within our existing customer base through upsells, cross-sells, and strategic price increases

We're hiring one person per track - each with full ownership over their expansion vector. You'll own one of our key future revenue streams from day one and will have the chance to build a best-in-class team around it.

Your Tasks

  • Explore the opportunity: Research, size, and validate your expansion track. We already know the direction - you figure out the fastest path to revenue in your area and start executing

  • Get your hands dirty: Build your own pipeline from scratch, run the sales cycles, and close deals yourself. Cold outreach, discovery calls, demos, negotiations, etc

  • Build repeatable systems: Turn messy learnings into playbooks others can run - pricing, messaging, sales cycles, objection handling. You write the playbook, you don't run someone else's

  • Orchestrate cross-functionally: Work with Product, Sales, Marketing, CX, and Talent to make your expansion track work end-to-end

  • Scale what works: Once the motion is proven, you hire your team and build a growth engine others can run

Your Profile

  • 3+ years in high-performance environments - Tier 1 management consulting, VC-backed startups, or as a founder

  • You can own complex projects end-to-end without someone looking over your shoulder

  • Strong problem-solving, strong communication, and high agency

  • You're comfortable building from nothing - the research phase, the first cold call, the awkward early demos where the pitch isn't polished yet

  • You have industry touchpoints or at least a genuine curiosity for industrial procurement

  • Fluent German and English (other languages a plus)

Who thrives here (and who doesn't)

This role is for people who can move fast between thinking and doing. You're not starting from zero - there's a proven product, a strong customer base, and clear strategic direction. But the expansion playbooks don't exist yet, and you'll need to figure out what works through real-world execution, not slide decks. If you need perfectly defined processes or clear KPIs from day one, this will feel frustrating. If you like turning a strategic hypothesis into revenue quickly, you'll love it here.

Interview Process

  1. Intro call with our Chief of Staff - we figure out together if there's a fit and which of the three expansion tracks matches your strengths best

  2. Deep dive with our Head of Revenue or Strategy & Ops Lead - depending on your focus area

  3. Get to Know Call with out CEO

  4. Case study + Meet the Team
