About the role You'll join Beacon's Portfolio Product team — a cross-functional group of Product Managers, Engineers, Designers, GTM experts, and Data Scientists working directly with our 40+ portfolio companies and counting (at roughly one new acquisition per week) to drive measurable outcomes through AI and software.

At the core, every PM at Beacon owns product outcomes for 2 to 5 portfolio companies at a time, acting as a hands‑on, founding product leader embedded in each business. You'll sit close to the GM, the operators, and the customers, figure out where the leverage is, and ship software directly into the business. The best PMs don't just deliver for the companies they're deployed at — they compress what they learn into reusable playbooks that spread to every other portfolio company in the same vertical. The ultimate objective is to transform our portfolio companies into unicorns!

For the right candidates, this role grows beyond individual ownership. As your vertical scales, you may build and lead a team of PMs, take on hiring and coaching responsibilities, and become the person who sets product vision and standards across an entire industry segment — partnering directly with GMs, founders & operators, and driving planning across the whole portfolio. How much of that path applies to you depends on your background and trajectory, and we'll shape the role around what you bring.

This is not a consulting role. We ship software, not slides. The deliverable is a running system.

Key Responsibilities

Own product outcomes for 2 to 5 portfolio companies simultaneously, acting as a fractional/founding product leader embedded in each business

Lead quarterly and annual planning,



helping teams set product visions and translate them into achievable goals

Build and maintain roadmaps that balance customer needs, business goals, and technical constraints

Drive sprint planning and execution, improving team velocity and predictability over time

Develop prioritization frameworks that help CEOs and operators make better product decisions

Build customer feedback systems that turn qualitative inputs into actionable roadmap decisions

Coordinate feature launches across engineering, sales, marketing, and support

Coach developers, designers, and early PMs to think like product managers

Distill learnings into cross-portfolio playbooks that scale impact beyond your assigned companies

Partner with GMs, founders, and operators to set product vision and translate it into executable roadmaps

Contribute to Beacon's broader AI platform by surfacing patterns and opportunities from your companies

As your scope grows you may also

Build and lead a team of PMs, hiring, onboarding, and developing them as your portfolio scales

Codify cross-portfolio playbooks that turn individual wins into repeatable systems across an entire vertical

Set the bar for how excellent product work looks at Beacon — spec quality, customer discovery, prioritization rigor





Own product strategy and outcomes across a defined vertical, not just individual companies

What We're Looking For

BA/BS degree; MBA a plus

4+ years of product management experience, ideally in B2B SaaS (senior candidates typically bring 7+ years, including 2+ years in a formal leadership role or as a co-founder)

Strong fundamentals: roadmapping, sprint planning, spec writing, prioritization frameworks

Sharp customer discovery instincts and the ability to identify high-impact opportunities fast

Comfortable managing multiple companies and stakeholders simultaneously

Ability to influence founders and executives without direct authority

For more senior candidates: a proven track record leading and developing other PMs, not just doing great PM work individually

Strong systems thinking — you see patterns across companies and know how to turn them into playbooks

High autonomy, low ego. You figure things out and get them done

Entrepreneurial mindset and genuine comfort with ambiguity

This Role Is Perfect for You If...

You are an ex-founder, or have founding PM / early product hire experience at a high-growth startup

You want real ownership over how businesses (and, over time, entire industry verticals) get transformed through software and AI

You get satisfaction from shipping great product yourself — and, as you grow, from building capability in others

You are commercially‑minded and curious about private equity, rollups, and how profitable businesses are built
