You will work closely with the Manager, Project & Cost Accounting and serve as a trusted 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 and is eager to design and implement accounting processes from the ground up alongside a growing team.
