Group CPO

About the role

You'll be joining Beacon's Portfolio Product team as a Group CPO, owning product strategy and execution across a defined vertical within our portfolio. You'll start as a player-coach, directly embedded in 2-3 portfolio companies while building and eventually leading a team of PMs as your vertical grows. This is a senior, high-ownership role for someone who wants to shape how an entire industry segment gets transformed through AI and software.

Key Responsibilities

• Own product strategy and outcomes across a defined vertical within Beacon's portfolio
• Directly manage 2-3 portfolio companies as a hands-on PM while building toward a team of 3-5 PMs over time
• Hire, onboard, and develop PMs within your vertical as the portfolio scales
• Develop and codify cross-portfolio playbooks that turn individual wins into repeatable systems
• Partner with GMs, founders, and operators to set product vision and translate it into executable roadmaps
• Drive quarterly and annual planning across your vertical, ensuring consistency and quality of product thinking
• Set the bar for how great product work looks at Beacon — spec quality, customer discovery, prioritization rigor
• Collaborate with engineering, data, and GTM teams to ship and scale features across multiple companies simultaneously
• Contribute to Beacon's broader AI platform by surfacing patterns and opportunities from your vertical

What We're Looking For

• 7+ years of product management experience, with at least 2 years in a formal leadership role or as a co-founder
• Proven ability to lead and develop PMs, not just do great PM work yourself
• Deep B2B SaaS experience, ideally across multiple products or business contexts
• Strong systems thinker — you see patterns across companies and know how to turn them into playbooks
• Comfortable operating across multiple businesses and stakeholders simultaneously
• Ability to influence and earn trust with founders and executives without direct authority
• High autonomy, low ego. You figure things out and get them done
• Entrepreneurial mindset and genuine comfort with ambiguity

How We Use AI in Our Hiring Process

To ensure transparency, we want candidates to know that Beacon Software uses Artificial Intelligence and AI-enabled tools to assist with screening, reviewing, organizing and highlighting profiles and applications that match the key requirements for each role. AI does not make hiring decisions: Every application is reviewed by a member of our team, and all decisions throughout the process are made by humans. We use AI to support efficiency and consistency, not to replace human judgment. We are committed to a fair, thoughtful, and equitable experience for every candidate.
