ICON is at an inflection point – scaling manufacturing operations for the Titan printer platform and standing up the cost accounting infrastructure to match. We are looking for an Accounting Manager, Operational Accounting to join the Corporate Accounting team and own the financial engine behind that growth. This role takes full ownership of manufacturing cost accounting and project accounting – two of the highest‑complexity, highest‑stakes workstreams in the close – including inventory, WIP, COGS, and standard cost accounting for hardware production, as well as revenue recognition, project‑level P&Ls, and WIP schedule management across ICON’s construction business. This person will be a trusted business partner to Operations and segment leads, translating operational activity into accurate financials as ICON scales. The ideal candidate thrives in fast‑paced, high‑growth environments, as this role will be responsible for designing and implementing accounting processes from the ground‑up to keep pace as the business scales. This role is intentionally scoped to grow as manufacturing scales and project volume increases, allowing the Accounting Manager to expand their team and deepen their function alongside ICON’s growth. This is an onsite role based in Austin, TX, reporting to the Corporate Controller.
