Full Job Description
Beacon https://beaconsoftware.com is building the essential technology infrastructure for the everyday economy: the businesses, organizations, and services that make real life work, and that mainstream tech has largely left behind. We acquire, operate, and grow vertical market software companies. They are niche, founder-built businesses serving industries that are often overlooked and too profitable to ignore. Our model is simple: we seek out founders who have built their business by spending years understanding their market and prioritizing their customers' specific needs. We buy great businesses, invest in their continued growth, and hold them permanently, accelerating that growth with an AI-native platform built specifically for vertical market software. No mandate to cut, flip, or roll up into something unrecognizable. We are not a financial firm. We are technology entrepreneurs and operators who believe the most important businesses in the world are already running quietly in industries most people never think about. Our job is to find them, support the people who built them, and make them better. Beacon is backed by a diverse base of investors, with $550M+ raised to date, including General Catalyst, Lightspeed, D1 Capital, CPMG, the family offices of the founders of Stripe, DoorDash, and Ramp, and evergreen funds built for the long game. ABOUT THE ROLE As a Manager of Origination, you will own and drive Beacon's acquisition pipeline efforts within a defined set of verticals — leading the end-to-end sourcing and relationship management function that powers our growth. You will help in forming best practice for how Beacon looks to identify, engage, and close relationships with exceptional software businesses. This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role and a unique opportunity to help shape the future of Beacon's growing portfolio of software companies. Responsibilities - Own and lead Beacon's deal origination efforts for a defined set of verticals. - Build and
