(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 Yet most still run it manually with outdated tools and gut decisions.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.
