Full Job Description
About the Role

Fresh off a $225M Series C, we're acquiring companies at pace and the hiring demand that comes with it is real. As we scale, we are looking to build our in-house business and G&A recruiting function, while also expanding our talent offerings to our portcos. This is a unique, multi-faceted role for a superstar generalistrecruiter who can run full-cycle searches across finance, sales, marketing, operations, HR, and customer success, both at Beacon's corporate team and inside our portfolio companies.

What You'll be Doing:
  • Full-cycle ownership, corporate side. Support hiring for non-eng/non-product roles at Beacon HQ, including finance, marketing, sales, ops, M&A, and BD, from first outreach to signed offer.
  • Portco hiring on demand. Parachute into a portfolio company's one-off senior hire - e.g. a Product Marketing Manager, a Head of Sales, an Ops lead - learn the business quickly, and run the search end-to-end alongside a GM who may never have worked with a dedicated recruiter before.
  • Constant context-switching. Juggle multiple open roles at once across different functions, companies, and markets, each with its own comp band, hiring bar, and stakeholder.
  • Strategic partnership. Build hiring plans with GMs and functional leaders at as both a thought and recruiting partner
  • Creative sourcing. LinkedIn is the floor, not the ceiling. Functional networks, referrals, niche communities, and AI-assisted tooling are all in play, and the right channel changes with every role.
  • Operational rigor. We use Ashby and we take our data seriously. Clean pipelines, tight feedback loops, and disciplined processes are essential.
  • The close. You know how to navigate comp conversations and competing offers with ease and drive negotiations to a successful close.
  • Brand building. You'll help tell the Beacon story in markets and functions we haven't actively recruited in before.

What you Bring:
  • 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience with a generalist background, comfortable calibrating fast on, and recruiting for roles and industries you haven't extensively recruited for.
  • Comfort in high-growth, multi-entity environments. You don't need a playbook for every function; you're happy to write one.
  • A fast learner. You can get conversant in an unfamiliar function or industry quickly enough to calibrate talent without a hiring manager holding your hand.
  • Verbal and written communication that's authentic, polished, persuasive.
  • Self-direction. You know how to prioritize across a shifting slate of roles and deliver without being supervised.
  • Hands-on experience with Ashby or Greenhouse.
  • BA/BS degree.

Bonus Points:
  • You've recruited for PE-backed, multi-entity, or holding-company businesses and understand the dynamics of hiring across autonomous units.
  • You've recruited GM-level or executive roles, not just individual contributors.
  • You've built out a function you didn't come from, finance, sales, or ops, and know what a strong bar looks like even outside your home turf.
  • You're comfortable managing many stakeholders at once and don't need a single hiring manager to anchor your process.
