About The Position

Beacon acquires, operates, and grows vertical market software companies, investing in their continued growth and supporting them with an AI-native platform. The Growth Lead works with Beacon’s portfolio companies to identify and execute growth opportunities. The work can vary widely, including paid advertising, outbound sales processes, market sizing, landing pages, churn-risk systems, cross-selling, conference planning, and programmatic SEO.

The role functions as a fractional head of growth embedded in portfolio companies. The Growth Lead works with Product Leads and portfolio company GMs to understand businesses, brainstorm and prioritize experiments, launch them, and drive revenue. The role also involves building reusable systems that enable less technical teams to run go-to-market experiments, and hiring other growth professionals.

• Write clearly and concisely.
• Have cracked a growth channel or loop and delivered value.
• Be willing to try things personally before outsourcing them, in order to understand what good looks like.
• Be skeptical of vanity metrics.
• Be able to vibe code sufficiently to be useful without applying the same solution indiscriminately.
• Be broadly curious about how businesses work.
• Enjoy shipping work.

Responsibilities

• Work with Product Leads and portfolio company GMs to combine product direction and user learnings when brainstorming 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, such as playbooks, Claude skills, and mini-products, that less technical people can use to run go-to-market experiments.
• Hire other growth professionals.

Benefits

• Get a first-person view into 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 executives from companies including Instacart, AngelList, Coinbase, and Retool.
• Have substantial control and autonomy over work.
• Work across both creative and analytical activities, including writing copy, brainstorming video ideas, reading investment memos, and deeply understanding businesses.
