Enterprise Account Executive

YOUR IMPACT

As an Enterprise Account Executive, you will play a key role in driving Tacto’s expansion into large, complex industrial organizations. You are responsible for guiding enterprise deals from qualified opportunity to contract signature and will directly shape how Tacto wins and grows in the enterprise segment.

In this role, you will work with C-level decision-makers in Germany's largest industrial enterprises, helping them transform procurement into a strategic, AI-driven function. Beyond closing deals, you'll contribute to building enterprise-ready structures – connecting value engineering with sales, shaping deal teams, and establishing enterprise-focused processes that let us win repeatably at scale. Your core mission is to demonstrate the measurable business impact of Tacto in highly complex environments and turn strategic potential into signed contracts.

YOUR TASKS

• New Business: You own complex, multi-stakeholder deals in Tacto's largest accounts, from first meeting to signed contract
• Deal Leadership: You run executive demos, workshops, business cases, and negotiations, and navigate procurement and legal processes through to close
• Account & Segment Strategy: You build account strategies for the largest industrial groups and map how these organizations buy across sites and buying centers, landing in one business unit and expanding across divisions, plants, and modules
• Customer Added Value: You act as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders, building business cases that clearly quantify ROI, savings, and strategic impact
• Sharpen the Motion: You turn what works in your deals into best practices the enterprise team can build on, and feed insight back to Product and Leadership
• AI Native, in both directions: You sell AI into the enterprise, and you run on it. You use AI to research accounts, prepare executive conversations, and run complex pipelines with maximum efficiency

YOUR PROFILE

Now you may wonder what experiences and skills you need for this role. We believe that problem-solving, creativity, and drive are more important than tools that can be picked up. However, the following references will give a guideline of what experiences we think might be helpful.

• A proven closing track record in complex enterprise B2B software sales: multi-stakeholder, high-value deals, long sales cycles (6+ months)
• You've sold into large, complex organizations and know what good looks like; you bring a proven approach and adapt it to our conditions rather than needing one handed to you
• You lead deals with senior and C-level stakeholders and keep long, multi-threaded cycles moving to signature
• You sell value over features and translate technical depth into business impact
• You bring strong sales fundamentals and apply common methodologies (e.g. MEDDIC, SPIN, SPICED) pragmatically
• Low ego, high integrity, team-first: you're here for the mission and the craft, not just the commission, and you make the people around you better
• Excellent written and verbal communication in German and English
• Curiosity for procurement, supply chain, or manufacturing is a plus

WHO THRIVES HERE

You're a closer, and you take pride in owning complex, high-stakes deals from first meeting to signature. You've sold into large, layered organizations before, so you bring a point of view on how to win and adapt it to how Tacto works. But the way you win matters as much as the winning. You're low-ego and genuinely team-first, the kind of person colleagues want in the room, who shares what works and lifts the people around them. A serious closer who's also a great person to work with.

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.
