About the Role:Beacon Software buys businesses. You get to grow them. This can take almost any shape. Here are real projects our team ran over the last few months:
- Launched ads across Meta and Google.
- Ran a full outbound process (lead gen, copywriting, outreach) on behalf of a sales team.
- Vibe coded an interactive TAM map to figure out which states and provinces to prioritize.
- Designed and launched landing pages.
- Built a system to flag high-dollar accounts at risk of churning.
- Cross-sold into other portfolio companies.
- Gameplanned a conference.
- Prototyped a programmatic SEO strategy.
- (And much more!)
Want some industry jargon? You'll be a fractional head of growth (a forward-deployed GTM engineer?) who goes deep into portfolio companies and brainstorms, prioritizes, and executes on growth experiments.
We're looking for people who can go into a business, ask the right questions with little context, launch experiments, and drive revenue.
Key Responsibilities:- Working with our Product Leads and portfolio company GMs, marrying product direction with user learnings to brainstorm growth experiments.
- Prioritize, build, and launch experiments that meaningfully drive revenue.
- Identify and optimize growth loops at portfolio companies.
- Track and improve conversion at every major step of the marketing funnel.
- Build systems (e.g., playbooks, Claude skills, mini-products) that less technical folks can use to run GTM experiments themselves.
- Hire other great growth people.
Who are you?- A growth hire at a startup who wants to get back to early-stage work and ship things.
- A former founder who took their company from 0 to 1.
- An agency owner or growth consultant sick of doing their own BD, but who enjoys the day-to-day work. (Run an agency? We're open to acquiring your team!)
Additionally:- You write clearly and concisely.
- You've cracked a growth channel or loop before and have delivered value.
- You try things yourself to know what "good" looks like before you outsource them.
- You're skeptical of vanity metrics.
- You vibe code enough to be dangerous, but you're not a man-with-a-hammer.
- You're broadly curious about how businesses work.
- You like to ship.
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 like Instacart, AngelList, Coinbase, and Retool.
- Have loads of control and autonomy over what you work on.
You get to 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.
