Job Summary
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. Theyve 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.
Were 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 youre not easily boxed into one function or dont yet know where you want to specialize. Youve 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 youre interested in multiple positions and the above sounds good or you are interested in Tacto in general apply to Tacto Leap - well figure out together where youll have the highest impact. We look for the right mindset and potential - not the biggest egos. Lets talk if you think the above is intriguing.

Typical backgrounds that thrive here

Ex-Founders (exited pivoted or closed) - youve done the 0-to-1 thing. You want the next chapter with more resources a great team and a market thats 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 - youve evaluated hundreds of companies from the outside. Now you want to build one from the inside

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 products 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. Were 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 Europes leading tech entrepreneurs and industry veterans.
Why It Matters
Manufacturing forms Europes economic backbone driving a fourth of Europes 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. Europes 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.
