Associate, Integration

We're looking for an Associate to help build the Onboarding & Integration business at Beacon, owning how we successfully integrate newly acquired businesses into the portfolio at scale. This role sits at the centre of everything that happens before and after a new partnership closes; managing the onboarding process that serves our HQ teams, building trust with our new founders, and developing the scalable systems that make integration better with each repetition as our business evolves.

This role is positioned at the intersection of our Engineering, Product, Investment, Finance and Operations teams, interfacing daily with founders and Beacon’s functional leaders. You will be the right hand person building a mission critical function at a fast growing business, working directly alongside the Director of Integration with real input into how this business operates. You will become an expert on how software businesses are bought, sold and scaled across dozens of verticals, with a front-row seat to every Beacon deal from pre-close through integration and successful operation.

• 2 to 4 years of experience in corporate development, investment banking, M&A integration, management consulting, and/or business operations
• Demonstrated ability to run complex, multi-stakeholder projects independently from start to finish
• Familiarity with the M&A process and genuine curiosity about how businesses are bought, integrated, and scaled
• Strong founder empathy and ability to communicate effectively with both executives and junior team members
• Comfortable with AI tools and automation platforms
• Self-starter who thrives in ambiguous, high-autonomy environments
• Can articulate why software isn’t dead

• Experience with software businesses, and mid-market businesses
• Genuine interest in buy-and-build investment strategies

• 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 that 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.
