Paralegal, Legal Integration at Beacon

Job description

Beacon 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 and services companies: niche, founder-built businesses serving industries that are too specific for the enterprise giants and too profitable to ignore. Our model is simple. We buy great businesses, invest in their continued growth, and hold them permanently. 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. We seek out founders who have built their business by spending years understanding their market and prioritizing their customers' specific needs. Our flexible structure offers entrepreneurs a unique option to implement a transition that ensures the continuity of the company while receiving liquidity at full value for their equity in their business. No mandate to cut, flip, or roll up into something unrecognizable. We are permanent, committed capital with no exit pressure and a long-term time horizon, backed by a diverse base of investors including Wall Street (D1 Capital, CPMG), Silicon Valley (General Catalyst and Lightspeed), the family offices of world-class technology entrepreneurs (including the founders of Stripe, DoorDash, and Ramp), and evergreen funds built for the long game (Sator Grove). Beacon was founded by Nilam Ganenthiran, entrepreneur, former President of Instacart, and investor at D1 Capital, who has spent his career building, scaling, and backing high-growth technology businesses. About the Role We are seeking a highly ambitious paralegal to join Beacon’s legal team and serve as the day-to-day point of contact for post-close legal integration across Beacon’s acquisitions, from LOI signing through full integration completion. Reporting to Beacon’s Senior Paralegal and Legal Operations Lead, you will be the hands-on paralegal executing the legal integration workstream on every deal - owning corporate governance clean-up, driving diligence follow-up, and building out integration workflows for legal, while ensuring every integration gets across the finish line. This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role for a paralegal who thrives in a fast-paced environment and wants to be at the center of Beacon’s integration strategy. You will execute the legal integration workstream internally as the primary legal resource on each transaction post-close,working directly with our M&A, legal and Integration teams, coordinating with our registered agent providers, and handling post-closing matters across our growing portfolios. We are looking for someone who is ready to do the heavy lifting on integration – someone with broad legal judgment who can spot and address general legal and compliance issues beyond the four corners of the post-closing checklist, and who is prepared to leverage AI tools to drive efficiency across the entire integration lifecycle. What You'll Do • Integration Project Management: Lead the legal integration workstream for newly acquired companies - collaborating cross-functionally to ensure alignment with company policy and compliance requirements, and maintaining integration dashboards, project plans, and status documentation. • Legal Operations & Workflow: Build out Beacon's legal integration workflows and program, manage the library of approved templates and resources, and lead each newly acquired company's introduction to Beacon Legal. • Diligence Support: Review data rooms and assist Legal in collecting, reviewing, and summarizing diligence information with an eye toward post-close integration, and help scope clean-up items. • Corporate Management & Compliance: Transfer registered agent services, complete state a
