Product Manager (opens in new tab)

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 — 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. 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. 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 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. How We Use AI in Our Hiring Process: To ensure transparency, we want candidates to know that Beacon Software uses Artificial Intelligence and AI-enabled tools to assist with screening, reviewing, organizing and highlighting profiles and applications that match the key requirements for each role. AI does not make hiring decisions: Every application is reviewed by a member of our team, and all decisions throughout the process are made by humans. We use AI to support efficiency and consistency, not to replace human judgment. We are committed to a fair, thoughtful, and equitable experience for every candidate. #J-18808-Ljbffr Beacon Software
