Beacon Software is a technology-driven operator of vertical market software companies, backed by $550M+ in funding from top-tier investors. The company acquires and grows niche, founder-built businesses serving overlooked industries, using an AI-native platform to accelerate growth while maintaining founder autonomy. You'll join Beacon's Portfolio Product team as a hands-on Product Manager embedded across 2–5 portfolio companies simultaneously. Unlike traditional PM roles, you'll act as a fractional founding product leader, sitting close to GMs, operators, and customers to identify leverage points and ship software directly into each business. Key responsibilities include owning product outcomes across multiple companies, leading quarterly and annual planning, building and maintaining roadmaps, driving sprint execution, developing prioritization frameworks, building customer feedback systems, coordinating feature launches, and coaching developers and designers. You'll distill learnings into cross-portfolio playbooks that scale impact across the entire vertical. As your scope grows, you may build and lead a PM team, codify repeatable systems across verticals, set product standards across Beacon, and own strategy for an entire industry segment. The ideal candidate has 4+ years of product management experience in B2B SaaS (7+ years for senior candidates, including 2+ years in formal leadership or as a co-founder). You should have strong fundamentals in roadmapping, sprint planning, spec writing, and prioritization; sharp customer discovery instincts; ability to manage multiple stakeholders simultaneously; and proven influence without direct authority. Senior candidates should have a track record leading and developing other PMs. This role is especially suited for ex-founders, founding PMs, or early product hires at high-growth startups who want real ownership over business transformation through software and AI, enjoy shipping great product themselves, and are curious about private equity and profitable business models.
