About the Role
Beacon Software acquires and grows vertical market software companies. This role involves acting as a fractional head of growth, diving deep into portfolio companies to brainstorm, prioritize, and execute 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.
Requirements
- You write clearly and concisely.
- You’ve cracked a growth channel or loop before and delivered value.
- You try things yourself to know what “good” looks like before you outsource them.
