Strategy & Operations - 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
