Growth Lead

Beacon Software•Toronto, ON

About The Position

Beacon Software is a permanent capital holding company that acquires and grows essential businesses. We are a profitable Series C firm that combines great technologists, operators, and M&A professionals to accelerate the scale of the ambition of the dozens of businesses we own and operate. We are supported by capital from tier-1 venture capital, crossover, and endowment investors as well as the founders of the leading technology companies from the past decade. We are growing our team in Toronto, San Francisco, and New York. 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. 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.

Requirements

Former founders and growth marketers/GTM engineers with a track record of cracking growth channels and loops, ideally in B2B SaaS.
Strong growth fundamentals: prioritizing channels, breaking down funnels, developing ICPs, automating prospecting and leadgen, copywriting, CRO, etc.
Clear, concise writing.
Comfort saying no to the wrong priorities.
Enough vibe-coding chops to be dangerous, but not a man-with-a-hammer.

Nice To Haves

Software engineering or finance background is a plus, but not required.

Responsibilities

Meet with your pod leader 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 GMs and portfolio company employees can use to run GTM experiments themselves.
Hire other great growth people.
