Responsibilities
- Blaze is a structured fast-track 6-month program with hands-on coaching where you'll learn the full sales cycle - from prospecting to closing - and drive real revenue with customers, kickstarting your career in tech sales.
- Over 50% of manufacturing cost is decided in procurement - yet it still runs on Excel and scattered systems. Tacto builds the intelligence layer between atoms and bits: AI agents that automate 75% of manual procurement work and proactively identify 10%+ in cost savings.
- As you prove yourself through clear milestones, you'll earn your promotion to full-cycle Account Executive after six months.

- Own a BDR quota. Master outreach strategies, convert buying signals into opportunities and build consistent pipeline with weekly coaching
- Months 5-6: Win your first deals
- Transition to full-cycle AE work. Lead discoveries, deliver demos, navigate stakeholders, and close deals with dedicated AE mentorship
- Month 7: Launch as a full-Cycle AE
- You've proven yourself. Now it's full quota and full comp plan. You step into your promotion as a fully ramped Account Executive - no more "associate" in your title
