Beacon is building the essential technology infrastructure for the everyday economy: the businesses, organizations, and services that make real life work, and that mainstream tech has largely left behind. We acquire, operate, and grow vertical market software companies. They are niche, founder-built businesses serving industries that are often overlooked and too profitable to ignore.

Our model is simple: we seek out founders who have built their business by spending years understanding their market and prioritizing their customers' specific needs. We buy great businesses, invest in their continued growth, and hold them permanently, accelerating that growth with an AI-native platform built specifically for vertical market software. No mandate to cut, flip, or roll up into something unrecognizable.

We are not a financial firm. We are technology entrepreneurs and operators who believe the most important businesses in the world are already running quietly in industries most people never think about. Our job is to find them, support the people who built them, and make them better.

Beacon is backed by a diverse base of investors, with $550M+ raised to date, including General Catalyst, Lightspeed, D1 Capital, CPMG, the family offices of the founders of Stripe, DoorDash, and Ramp, and evergreen funds built for the long game.

## Our Values at Beacon Software

- **Humility:** We acknowledge that the path to getting to the right answer involves being wrong along the way. We have strong beliefs which are weakly held. We actively seek new ideas and believe we can learn from anyone at any time.
- **Honesty:** We are truth seeking in our approach to business problems. Business is a repeat game and we believe that human relationships generate alpha. We understand that trust is earned over a lifetime and can be lost in an instant.
- **Hunger:** We play to win. We hold ourselves to high standards and will not be outworked. We take pride in having a deep sense of responsibility to ourselves, each other, our partners, and our customers. We believe to whom much is given much is expected.
- **Horizon:** We seek to build a generational software company. This will take decades. We manage our expectations and those of our partners to take advantage of the 8th wonder of the world - compounding growth.

## About the Role

You'll be joining Beacon's Portfolio Product team, a cross-functional group of Product Managers, Engineers, Designers, GTM experts, and Data Scientists. We work directly with our 30+ portfolio companies, businesses we're acquiring at roughly one per week, to drive measurable outcomes through AI and software.

As a Product Manager, you'll own product outcomes for 3-4 portfolio companies at a time. You'll sit close to the GM, the operators, and the customers, figuring out where the leverage is and shipping software directly into their business. The best PMs in this role won't just deliver for the companies they're deployed at. They'll compress what they learned into reusable playbooks that ship to every other portfolio company in the same vertical.

This is not a consulting role. We ship software, not slides. The deliverable is a running system.

## Key Responsibilities

- Own product outcomes for 3-4 portfolio companies simultaneously, acting as a fractional product leader embedded in each business
- Lead quarterly and annual planning, helping teams set product visions and translate them into achievable goals
- Build and maintain roadmaps that balance customer needs, business goals, and technical constraints
- Drive sprint planning and execution, improving team velocity and predictability over time
- Develop prioritization frameworks that help CEOs and operators make better product decisions
- Build customer feedback systems that turn qualitative inputs into actionable roadmap decisions
- Coordinate feature launches across engineering, sales, marketing, and support
- Coach developers, designers, and early PMs to think like product managers
- Distill learnings into cross-portfolio playbooks that scale impact beyond your assigned companies

## What We're Looking For

- 4+ years of product management experience, ideally in B2B SaaS
- Strong fundamentals: roadmapping, sprint planning, spec writing, prioritization frameworks
- Sharp customer discovery instincts and ability to identify high-impact opportunities fast
- Comfortable managing multiple companies and stakeholders simultaneously
- Ability to influence founders and executives without direct authority
- High autonomy, low ego. You figure things out and get them done
- Entrepreneurial mindset and genuine comfort with ambiguity

## This role is perfect for you if...

- You are an ex-founder or want to start your own B2B SaaS company one day
- You want real exposure to how profitable businesses are built and scaled across multiple industries
- You get more satisfaction from building capability in others than shipping features yourself
- You are commercially-minded and curious about private equity, rollups, and AI
- You want to work somewhere that moves fast, and has the results to prove it

Product

Beacon Software is a permanent capital holding company which acquires and grows essential businesses. We are a profitable Series C firm that combines great technologists, operators and M&A professionals to accelerate the scale of the ambition of the dozens of businesses we own and operate. We are supported by capital from tier-1 venture capital, crossover, and endowment investors as well as the founders of the leading technology companies from the past decade.

We are growing our team in Toronto, San Francisco, and New York.

You'll be joining Beacon's Acceleration team: a cross-functional group of Product Managers, Engineers, Designers, GTM experts, and Data Scientists. We work closely with portfolio companies to solve problems, create and implement playbooks, and build new features and products.

## Our Values at Beacon Software

- **Humility:** We acknowledge that the path to getting to the right answer involves being wrong along the way. We have strong beliefs which are weakly held. We actively seek new ideas and believe we can learn from anyone at any time.

- **Honesty:** We are truth seeking in our approach to business problems. Business is a repeat game and we believe that human relationships generate alpha. We understand that trust is earned over a lifetime and can be lost in an instant.

- **Hunger:** We play to win. We hold ourselves to high standards and will not be outworked. We take pride in having a deep sense of responsibility to ourselves, each other, our partners, and our customers. We believe to whom much is given much is expected.

- **Horizon:** We seek to build a generational software company. This will take decades. We manage our expectations and those of our partners to take advantage of the 8th wonder of the world - compounding growth.

## About the Role

Beacon Software buys businesses. You get to grow them.

Specifically, you'll design and run go-to-market experiments for a pod of 3-4 companies we've acquired in a particular industry (education, industrials, parks & rec, etc).

This can take any shape: you might launch ads, cross-sell into other portfolio companies, game plan a conference, scrape high-intent lead lists, write copy, or vibe-code a dashboard.

To put it another way, you'll be a fractional head of growth, with an eye towards systems and playbooks that generalize across portfolio companies.

We're looking for an animal who can go into a business, ask the right questions with little context, launch experiments, and drive revenue.

Basically, we're looking for [The Wolf](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOZB6mNqhuA), but for growth.

## Key Responsibilities

- Meet with your pod leader and portfolio company GMs, marrying product direction with user learnings to brainstorm growth experiments.
- Prioritize, build, and launch experiments that meaningfully drive revenue.
- Identify and optimize growth loops at portfolio companies.
- Track and improve conversion at every major step of the marketing funnel.
- Build systems (e.g., playbooks, Claude skills, mini-products) that less technical GMs and portfolio company employees can use to run GTM experiments themselves.
- Hire other great growth people.

## What We're Looking For

- Former founders and growth marketers/GTM engineers with a track record of cracking growth channels and loops, ideally in B2B SaaS.
- Strong growth fundamentals: prioritizing channels, breaking down funnels, developing ICPs, automating prospecting and leadgen, copywriting, CRO, etc.
- Clear, concise writing.
- Comfort saying no to the wrong priorities.
- Enough vibe-coding chops to be dangerous, but not a man-with-a-hammer.
- Software engineering or finance background is a plus, but not required.
