ICON is a technology platform - at scale, with proprietary technology that doesn't exist anywhere else on earth. We're scaling a business towards hyper-growth and we're assembling a team that will take us there.

We're looking for a sharp, execution-oriented Finance Associate to work directly with our CFO and senior leadership team. This isn't a supporting role - it's a seat at the table during one of the most consequential periods in ICON's history. You'll own financial models, support board and investor communications, and dig into the unit economics of a business that spans three distinct segments: commercial construction, defense contracts, and hardware technology sales.

If you want a career-defining stretch role at a company changing how the world builds, this is it. Our finance team is embracing AI.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Build and maintain financial models across company, segment, and project levels — including Titan hardware economics, Formcrete revenue modeling, and government contract P&Ls
• Support quarterly board materials and monthly investor reporting — from first draft to final slide
• Perform variance analysis and forecasting, with a relentless focus on forecast accuracy over time
• Support investor requests and capital markets processes
• Partner with business leaders on commercial contract profitability and model pro forma impact before deals are signed
• Assist in treasury management, working capital analysis, and cash flow forecasting
• Own special projects across R&D, business development, and construction diligence as they arise

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

• 2–5 years of experience in investment banking, FP&A, project finance, corporate finance, or a related analytical role
• Strong financial modeling skills — you build from scratch, not just from templates
• Clear communicator who can translate numbers into decisions for non-finance audiences
• Bachelor's degree in finance, economics, accounting, or a quantitative field
• Proficiency with AI and a passion for innovation
• Proficiency in Excel; experience with PowerPoint, ERP systems (NetSuite a plus), or financial planning tools is a bonus

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

• Demonstrated passion for financial modeling and the visual display of quantitative information.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills; experience in effectively communicating key data, including presentations to senior management, board or other outside partners.
• Ability and desire to communicate financial concepts and information to individuals at all levels including finance and non-finance managers.

WHO THRIVES HERE?

• People who want their work to matter beyond the spreadsheet
• Self-starters who move fast, ask good questions, and don't wait to be told what to do
• Candidates from non-traditional paths - construction finance, government contracting, manufacturing - are strongly encouraged to apply.

A quick snapshot…
As FP&A Manager at Conga you’ll support the maintenance of our corporate financial model inputs, monthly financial close processes, reporting, and analytics needs, and then some. You’ll develop relationships across the Product (R&D) organizations to enhance and improve the accuracy and understanding of budgets, forecasts, and analyses. You’ll help to expand the support the Product organization through pricing analysis and product roadmap prioritization.

Why it’s a big deal…  
At Conga, our Finance team is essential to our success. You’ll be part of the critical support for our operational management team, executive leadership team, and board of directors.

Are you the person we’re looking for?  
Related experience. You have 5 or more years in FP&A, corporate strategy, or related fields. You have specific history in supporting and working with executive leadership of a R&D at a SaaS company. You’ve played a role in creating robust financial analyses, models, reports, and dashboards that facilitate business decisions – especially using Excel. You have a vast understanding of accounting, finance, and operations principles and can help others understand and apply those concepts.

Influence change. You take initiative to understand the business’s needs and challenges, maybe more than they understand it themselves. You form quality, robust recommendations through the knowledge you acquire, data sources, and existing processes – and you use those recommendations to create scalable solutions that will help immediately and in the future. Because of the transparency, authenticity, humility, and knowledge you bring, your peers, partners, and business leaders trust the information you provide to influence key decisions.

Initiative. You don’t wait around for things to happen or for your manager to tell you what to do. You’re not only proactive about completing your own work, but when you sense the need to introduce a project that will benefit the team or the organization -- even if it’s outside your scope of work -- you put a proposal together, talk to the team about it, and own it. And that also goes back to having an entrepreneurial spirt.  

Industry expertise. Let’s face it, understanding and prior experience supporting a Product (R&D) organizations at a software (SaaS) company is a must.

 Education. Successful completion of a bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or Business Administration is highly preferred.

Here’s what will give you an edge…

Tools and systems experience. 

• You’ve worked hands-on with FP&A relational databases, BI tools (Power BI, Tableau, etc.), and Salesforce reporting.
• You’ve facilitated due diligence or assisted in corporate development processes such as M&A, capital raises, etc.
• You have worked within FP&A tools such as Adaptive Insights, Anaplan, etc.

Quality oriented. You rarely make mistakes because you have good processes in place to ensure that every detail is correct. But in those rare occasions when errors are realized (let’s face it, it happens to the best of us from time to time), you own them, correct them, learn from them, and then quickly adjust and communicate processes to ensure the same mistake doesn’t happen twice. It’s your transparency, authenticity, and humility that sets you apart from the rest.

Resourceful & Collaborative. At Conga, we achieve together-- when you have questions, you find answers; when you’re faced with challenges, you find solutions. You turn to a variety of resources, including your colleagues, professional network, the Internet, articles, books -- whatever helps you get the job done. Then you apply that knowledge across the business where it makes sense.
