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 , but for growth. Why would you want this role? Get a first-person view into the world of private equity, rollups, and AI. Access proprietary learnings about vertical SaaS businesses in a variety of industries. Work with a team of former YC founders, growth leaders, and execs at Silicon Valley’s fastest-growing companies (Instacart, AngelList, Retool, and more). Have loads of control and autonomy over what you work on. Be artsy AND sciencey. Like writing copy and brainstorming video ideas? You get to do that. Like reading investment memos and deeply understanding businesses? You get to do that, too. Ample LLM token budget. Meaningful equity in a hyperscaler that’s already profitable.
