Product Analytics Lead
The Product Analytics Lead at Beacon Software will join the Acceleration team, a cross-functional group comprising Product Managers, Engineers, Designers, Go-To-Market experts, and Product Analysts. This team collaborates closely with portfolio companies to address challenges, develop and implement playbooks, and create new features and products. As the inaugural Product Analytics hire, the successful candidate will establish and shape the Analytics function from the ground up, directly influencing major product decisions across the entire portfolio.
Key responsibilities include identifying new product and feature opportunities through comprehensive analysis of customer and business data. The role involves working alongside the Acceleration team to validate customer problems and develop new features. Additionally, the Product Analytics Lead will measure the impact of products and features across portfolio companies, developing methodologies for attribution, retention analysis, and long-term value assessment. The position also requires identifying leading indicators and proxy metrics that predict business outcomes and inform product decisions, as well as analyzing data across Beacon's portfolio to uncover patterns, opportunities, and insights applicable to multiple businesses.
Candidates should possess over six years of experience in analytics or data science, ideally within the B2B SaaS sector. Strong analytical skills are essential, along with the ability to thrive in ambiguous situations and self-direct without a predefined roadmap. The role demands comfort in working with messy or incomplete data to extract actionable insights, sound business judgment to connect analysis to real decisions and outcomes, and a product-minded approach to understanding how features drive user behavior beyond mere reporting metrics. The ability to manage multiple projects and stakeholders simultaneously is also crucial.
Beacon Software offers a dynamic and innovative environment where team members have the opportunity to work closely with portfolio companies, leveraging cutting-edge technologies, including advanced AI tools, to solve challenging problems. The company fosters a pragmatic, systems-thinking culture that values innovation and speed without unnecessary bureaucracy. Collaborating with ambitious colleagues from top-tier companies and investment firms, employees are part of a culture rooted in humility, honesty, hunger, and a long-term horizon, focusing on collective success.
