About The Position

At Tacton, we aren’t just building a tool — we are building the AI-powered Work OS that runs modern businesses. With $1.4B+ in annual revenue and over 250,000 customers globally, we are leading the shift to agentic work — where AI agents automate entire workflows, not just individual tasks. Major manufacturers like Canva, Flight Centre, Uber, and David Jones are already working this way. As we continue to grow our North American presence, our US team is the engine for new pipeline generation and market expansion. We aren’t looking for someone to read scripts; we are looking for curious, commercially sharp prospectors who can open doors and create real opportunities in the mid-market and enterprise space.

You’ll work closely with our marketing and sales teams to nurture and convert prospects into qualified opportunities. This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated, self-drive individual to thrive in Tacton’s fast paced and collaborative environment.
