Product Growth

Your Impact

Tacto helps 300+ manufacturers turn supplier data into negotiation leverage. Our sales-led motion in DACH is compounding. Now we need to build what comes next. This role isn't about optimizing funnels, it's about finding entirely new ways for Tacto to grow that don't scale linearly with headcount - supplier network effects, viral mechanics in industrial supply chains, product wedges that acquire users on their own. You're building growth loops from scratch, and the best ones will feel like standalone businesses inside Tacto.

Your Tasks

• Find and ignite the next compounding growth loop. Supplier referrals, community effects, embedded workflows that pull in new users — you identify the highest-leverage mechanic, then build it end to end

• Own organic acquisition. Build a technical SEO and AI-search (GEO) engine that turns industrial procurement queries into scalable pipeline. This is infrastructure, not content marketing

• Launch product-led wedges. Concept and ship product experiences that create user acquisition without proportional sales investment. Bridge product and revenue

• Go 0-to-1, repeatedly. Whiteboard → prototype → validation → scale. You run this loop fast, kill what doesn't work, and double down on what does.

Your Profile

• You've built something from zero before - at a VC-backed startup, as a founder, or inside a high-growth company where you operated like one

• You think of founding your own company at some point - we are looking for someone we'd love to back if you started your own company

• Extreme ownership: you build the roadmap, you find solutions, you don't wait for permission

• Ego-free overachiever: makes everyone around you better

• Fluent in German and English

Why Tacto

• Autonomy. You define strategy with the founders 20% of the time. The other 80% you're building

• Strong foundation. 100+ people, founded by ex-BCG + TUM/Berkeley alumni, backed by Sequoia & Index. AI-first platform, we are building for the endgame

• Timing. DACH product-market fit is proven. You're not fixing something broken — you're building the next layer of a company aiming for €100M+

• Setup: Munich, in office (4+ days office), competitive comp + equity

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.
