Job description

Beacon Software is a permanent capital holding company which acquires and grows essential businesses. We are a profitable series B+ firm that combines great technologists, operators and M&A professionals to accelerate the scale of the ambition of the dozens of businesses we own and operate. We are supported by capital from tier-1 venture capital, crossover, and endowment investors as well as the founders of the leading technology companies from the past decade.

We are growing our team in Toronto, San Francisco, and New York. Apply below.

Product Analytics Lead

You’ll be joining Beacon’s Acceleration team, a cross‑functional group of Product Managers, Engineers, Designers, GTM experts, and Product Analysts. We work closely with portfolio companies to solve problems, create and implement playbooks, and build new features and products.

As our first Product Analytics hire, you’ll define what the Analytics function should be and build it from the ground up. You’ll work across our entire portfolio and directly shape our biggest product decisions: what we build, how we build it, and how we measure success.

Key Responsibilities

Surface new product and feature opportunities through analysis of customer and business data.
Work with Acceleration’s team of product managers, designers, and forward‑deployed engineers to validate customer problems and build new features.
Measure the impact of products and features across portfolio companies, developing methodologies for attribution, retention analysis, and long‑term value assessment.
Identify leading indicators and proxy metrics that predict business outcomes and inform product decisions.
Analyze data across Beacon’s portfolio to find patterns, opportunities, and insights that apply across multiple businesses.

What We’re Looking For

6+ years in analytics or data science, ideally in B2B SaaS.
Strong analytical skills.
Thrives in ambiguity and can self‑direct without a predefined roadmap.
Comfortable working with messy or incomplete data to extract actionable insights.
Business judgment and ability to connect analysis to real decisions and outcomes.
Product‑mindful – you understand how features drive user behavior and can think beyond just reporting metrics.
Comfortable managing multiple projects and stakeholders simultaneously.

This Role Is Perfect For You If

You are an ex-founder and/or want to start your own B2B SaaS company one day.
You want to join a profitable, fast‑growing startup.
You want to learn about interesting verticals and markets.
You are curious about the world of private equity, rollups, and AI.

Our Values at Beacon Software

Humility: We acknowledge that the path to getting to the right answer involves being wrong along the way. We have strong beliefs which are weakly held. We actively seek new ideas and believe we can learn from anyone at any time.
Honesty: We are truth‑seeking in our approach to business problems. Business is a repeat game and we believe human relationships generate alpha. We understand that trust is earned over a lifetime and can be lost in an instant.
Hunger: We play to win. We hold ourselves to high standards and will not be outworked. We take pride in having a deep sense of responsibility to ourselves, each other, our partners, and our customers. We believe to whom much is given much is expected.
Horizon: We seek to build a generational software company. This will take decades. We manage our expectations and those of our partners to take advantage of the 8th wonder of the world – compounding growth.
