YOUR IMPACT Procurement is 60-70% of revenue for industrial companies and their biggest lever for profitability. Most can't make sense of their own procurement data, let alone use it strategically. Tacto changes that, and Solution Engineering is the function that turns our platform into customer reality. As Solution Engineering Lead, you own the engine that gets customers live, fast, and at quality. You sit between Product, Sales, and Customer Value, making sure every piece connects. You lead a team of ~5 Solution Engineers plus our Proof-of-Value function, own the link to Engineering on technical pipeline improvements, and are the senior technical face we put in front of customers when things matter most. You're building the implementation engine that scales with us. YOUR TASKS - Lead the team. Hire, develop, and manage ~5 Solution Engineers plus our PoV function. Set the bar for quality and speed.

Document what works, kill what doesn't, jump in hands-on when complexity demands it. - Own the vision. Develop and drive an idea on where the solution engineering team needs to develop, organizationally and technically. - Run presales. Conduct IT presales calls with prospects. Align with AEs on scope and technical stretch. Be assertive about what we can and can't commit to. - Drive technical scalability. Partner with Product, Data, and Engineering to automate manual work out of existence. Serve as the link between SE and the broader Tech org. Push for productization wherever the team finds workarounds. - Own customer escalations. Lead technical escalations with Heads of Procurement and IT. Be the senior presence customers trust and your team learns from. - Be AI-native. Use AI to 10x team productivity. Experiment, measure, scale what works, and build it into how the team operates.

There's a working SE function, a strong customer base, and clear direction. But the next stage of scale won't happen without serious system design, technical judgment, and people leadership. If you want a pure people-management role detached from technical depth, this isn't it. If you want to build the implementation engine behind one of Europe's most ambitious B2B SaaS companies, you'll love it here. INTERVIEW PROCESS 1. Intro call with our Talent team 2.
