Chief of Staff / Right Hand to the CEO

Leap: Fast-Track Generalist Program

Tacto

LEAP IS OUR FAST TRACK FOR SHARP GENERALISTS WHO WANT TO BUILD SOMETHING MEANINGFUL AT THE FRONTIER OF INDUSTRIAL AI Many of our best people come from generalist backgrounds, e.g., founded sth on their own, worked in consulting, finance, or high-growth tech. They've seen what great looks like and at some point, decided they want real ownership and impact over outcomes instead of watching from the sidelines. When you want to be a builder, this program is for you. We're hiring 5+ special roles across our commercial and product teams. You bring the toolkit, we give you ownership, resources, and a playground to build. Generalist means you're not easily boxed into one function or don't yet know where you want to specialize. You've operated across strategy, operations, sales, commercial, product, tech, or all of the above. Some of you have done that by building your own company or starting an initiative. Others have done it within high-performance environments like strategy consulting, venture capital, or finance. You learned to pick up new domains fast, structure hard problems, and deliver under pressure. Now you want to use those skills to build something meaningful with real ownership to make it work. If one of the positions seems like the perfect fit, apply directly for that role. If you're interested in multiple positions and the above sounds good, or you are interested in Tacto in general, apply to Tacto Leap - we'll figure out together where you'll have the highest impact. We look for the right mindset and potential - not the biggest egos. Let's talk if you think the above is intriguing. WHERE YOU'D COME IN 3-10y experience * Chief of Staff - Right hand to the CEO.

We care about how you think and how fast you can make things happen in new territory. However, most people who join through this program come from one of these paths: * Ex-Founders (exited, pivoted, or closed) - you've done the 0-to-1 thing. You want the next chapter with more resources, a great team, and a market that's ready * Ex-Consulting - you know how to structure ambiguity and deliver under pressure. Now you want to own what happens after the recommendation * Ex-Venture Capital / Private Equity / Investment Banking - you've evaluated hundreds of companies from the outside. Now you want to build one from the inside * Ex-High-growth tech (Palantir, Celonis, etc.) - you've already made the leap to tech. Now you want more ownership * Ex-High-growth Startups - you’ve joined a company early and helped it to scale significantly. Now you are looking for a new challenge * Special bees: Our best people did not follow a straight forward career, but shaped their own.

WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN TACTO Growth at the frontier of AI: You shape the future of technology and reinvent how manufacturing works, surrounded by best-in-class talent and leading minds in tech and society who challenge and inspire you to build for impact. We build the future instead of talking about it. Real ownership, real impact: You own outcomes, not tasks. No decks that sit in a drawer. No recommendations you never see implemented.

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. WHAT WE OFFER The people at Tacto are passionate about building the organization, growing themselves, and our product while having fun and being real. We have high expectations, great talent density, and a culture where your ambition, performance, and agency are what count - not where you come from or how big your ego is. You'll grow at the forefront of AI, have real ownership and impact, and be surrounded by the best people in their field who challenge you and make you better every day. That is demanding and rewarding, but that's where we thrive. Besides that you have: * Money: Competitive salary & equity in the company with real upside, so you are invested in our success * Workplace: A vibrant in-office culture (> 4 days/week) in a beautiful office in central Munich * Development: A development budget and regular exposure to exceptional people, e.g., Lunch & Learns, peer mentoring, external speakers * Time off: 26 + 4 vacation days per year (4 fixed “company rest days”) as well as regular off-sites and team events * Health: Wellpass membership, of course, a fruit basket (!), and access to Jobrad, for your health * Family & Social Security: Voluntary pension contribution, voluntary KITA subsidy for your children Tacto is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, age, marital status, disability, or gender identity. Please do not submit personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, data concerning your health, or data concerning your sexual orientation.
