Marketing & Growth Manager

Job description

YOUR IMPACT Procurement is the single biggest cost position for industrial companies, often over 50% of revenue. Tacto brings AI to strategic procurement so teams can move faster and unlock savings at scale. But in a world that's going increasingly digital, the companies that win are the ones that build real, physical relationships. As a Marketing & Growth Manager at Tacto, you'll build the physical layer of our go-to-market — hands-on, from day one. Your core is our proven event and training formats: regional procurement meetups and Tacto Trainings & AI Masterclasses across Europe. You take them and run them like clockwork, more cities, more sessions, sharper every time. You coordinate speakers, manage logistics, chase down every detail, and make sure the experience delivers. YOUR TASKS - Run Regional Events: Own our regional procurement meetups end-to-end, from planning to last follow-up and run them on a steady, repeatable cadence across markets. - Deliver Trainings & Masterclasses: Plan and execute Tacto Trainings and AI Masterclasses for procurement and manufacturing leaders, reliably, and at a high bar, every single time. - Grow the Community: Help grow our community platform for procurement and manufacturing leaders in Europe, the group of people who keep showing up. - Scale What Works: Formats like Atoms & Bits (our flagship event) already have traction, help take them from good to bigger and sharper. - Grow Into More: Over time, pick up partner formats, enterprise and C-level events, and market expansion events as we open the Netherlands and the US. - Become AI-Native: Use AI tools across your entire workflow, from research and outreach to planning and content. You'll work in one of the most AI-forward teams in European B2B and learn to operate at a speed most marketing teams can't match. YOUR PROFILE - You're early in your career, fresh out of university or with a few internships under your belt (fast-paced agency experience is a plus) and ready for real ownership from day one. - You've already organized things people actually showed up for, a university event, a student initiative, a side project and you're hungry for more. - You're a driven operator: you execute fast, get things done without needing every step spelled out, and chase details until they're right. - You're reliable and detail-oriented. When you own something, it's done right on time, fully thought through, and at a high quality bar. - You work seamlessly across teams. Sales, Product, Customer Value, Partners. You align stakeholders, keep everyone in the loop, and make things happen across functions. - You communicate with strong confidence, in German and English. - You're passionate about the industrial world, factories, supply chains, how things get built. You thrive in environments where software meets real-world impact. - You use AI tools to move faster than people expect. WHO THRIVES HERE You're the person who gets things done without being asked twice. Handed a format that already works, you don't reinvent it, you run it better each time: tighter logistics, sharper follow-up, a room that's fuller than last time. You notice the detail nobody else caught and fix it before anyone has to ask. And because you move fast and own things fully, more responsibility keeps coming your way. Enterprise events, partnerships, new markets. WHY TACTO - Build, don't manage: You take our proven event and training formats and scale them — real ownership over a growing part of our go-to-market, not event logistics. - Grow fast, learn everything: Start with regional events and trainings, then grow into partnerships, enterprise events, and new markets as you prove yourself. - Real ownership, early: You'll run things end-to-end from day one — a level of responsibility that's rare this early in a career. - Physical is the new edge: In an AI-first world, everyone's going digital. The companies that win are the ones that also show up in person. You'll help build that advantage. - Strong foundation: 100+ people, backed by Sequoia & Index, founded by ex-BCG + TUM/Berkeley alumni. AI-first platform, shipping daily. - Setup: Munich, in office (4+ days), 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. 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.
