Portfolio Product Manager

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.

As a Portfolio Product Manager, you'll own product outcomes for 3-4 portfolio companies. You'll drive quarterly planning, roadmap development, prioritization, and sprint execution while building the capabilities of each team. You'll be a fractional product leader responsible for setting and achieving product goals.
Key Responsibilities

• Lead quarterly and annual planning sessions, helping teams set product visions and translate them into achievable goals.
• Build and maintain product roadmaps that balance customer needs, business goals, and technical constraints
• Guide sprint planning and execution, improving team velocity and predictability over time
• Develop prioritization frameworks that help CEOs and teams make better product decisions
• Set up customer feedback systems that turn qualitative inputs into actionable roadmap decisions
• Help teams collect and analyze product usage data.
• Review feature specifications for clarity, completeness, and strategic fit
• Coordinate feature launches across engineering, sales, marketing, and support teams
• Coach team members (developers, designers, early PMs) to think like product managers and improve their ability to write specs, talk to customers, and make prioritization trade-offs
• Configure and optimize project management tools (Jira, Linear, Asana).

What We're Looking For

• 4+ years of product management experience, ideally in B2B SaaS
• Strong product fundamentals: roadmapping, sprint planning, spec writing, prioritization frameworks
• Strong customer discovery skills and ability to identify high-impact opportunities
• Comfortable managing multiple projects and stakeholders simultaneously
• Strong communication skills and ability to influence founders and executives
• Entrepreneurial mindset and comfort with ambiguity
• Has the ability to thrive with a high level of autonomy and responsibility

This role is perfect for you if

• You are an ex-founder and/or want to start your own B2B SaaS company one day.
• You get satisfaction from building capability in others, not just shipping features
• You want to join a profitable, fast-growing startup.
• You want to learn about interesting verticals and markets.
• You are commercially-minded.
• You are curious about the world of private equity, rollups, and AI.

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.
