About the Role
Join Beacon's Portfolio Product team, a cross-functional group driving measurable outcomes through AI and software for over 40 portfolio companies. As a Product Manager, you will own product outcomes for 2-5 portfolio companies, acting as a hands-on product leader embedded within each business. You will identify leverage points, ship software, and develop reusable playbooks to transform portfolio companies into unicorns. For senior candidates, the role offers growth into leading a team of PMs, setting product vision, and defining standards across industry segments.
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
- 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 great product work looks at Beacon — spec quality, customer discovery, prioritization rigor
- Own product strategy and outcomes across a defined vertical, not just individual companies
Requirements
- 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
- Ex-founder, or have founding PM / early product hire experience at a high-growth startup
- Want real ownership over how businesses (and, over time, entire industry verticals) get transformed through software and AI
- Get satisfaction from shipping great product yourself — and, as you grow, from building capability in others
- Commercially-minded and curious about private equity, rollups, and how profitable businesses are built
- Want to work somewhere that moves fast, and has the results to prove it
