This is a founding function role with the mandate to bring rigor and structure to how ICON rewards the people building an entirely new category of construction technology

This role is based on ICON's Austin, TX campus
Own ICON's compensation strategy end to end: design and maintain salary structures, ranges, and bands; keep them aligned to the Standard Leveling Matrix; and run market benchmarking so pay stays competitive across every division
Design and manage ICON's benefits and wellbeing programs - health and welfare plans, retirement, leave, and wellbeing offerings - including plan selection, renewals, open enrollment, and broker and vendor management
Partner with Finance on compensation budgets, merit and promotion cycles, equity pool planning, and the cost modeling behind rewards decisions
Advise Talent Acquisition and hiring managers on offers, leveling, and pay decisions, providing the analysis and guardrails that keep offers competitive, equitable, and within structure
Establish and maintain pay-equity and pay-transparency practices, and ensure compliance with federal, state, and local regulations across the multiple states and job families in which ICON operates
Build total rewards analytics and reporting - pay-range penetration, market positioning, and cost - to give leadership a clear, data-driven view of how ICON invests in its people
Account for the distinct rewards needs of ICON's divisions, including the government, military, and space work in Prime, where compensation practices for cleared and contract-funded roles differ from ICON's commercial and construction work

Develop, document, and execute compensation and benefits policies, and build the founding Total Rewards team as the function and ICON grow

Strong people analytics: able to turn compensation and benefits data into clear recommendations for non-specialist stakeholders and senior leaders
Fluency with HRIS and compensation tooling (Workday preferred) as a partner to the systems owner rather than the implementer
The behavioral range of an M4 leader: sets operational objectives and policy, advises stakeholders on moderately complex matters, and works independently across two disciplines (compensation and benefits)
