About the Role
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. 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.
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.
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.
- Software engineering or finance background is a plus, but not required.
