🏢 About ICON

ICON is revolutionizing the construction industry with 3D-printed homes, focusing on sustainability and low-carbon solutions. Working here means being at the forefront of a technology that addresses housing affordability and climate change, with a mission-driven team and the opportunity to shape the future of how we build.

About This Role

As Product Marketing Manager, you will own the go-to-market strategy for ICON's innovative products, translating complex 3D-printing technology into compelling value propositions for both B2C and B2B audiences. Your work will directly drive demand, pipeline growth, and sales, making a tangible impact on the company's growth and the adoption of sustainable construction.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with a cross-functional standup with product and sales to align on launch timelines, followed by analyzing campaign performance data to optimize media spend. Afternoon could involve drafting messaging for a new B2B pitch deck, then meeting with the creative team to review assets for an upcoming homebuyer campaign, ending with a review of competitive landscape updates.

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Focusing too much on generic marketing experience without connecting it to innovative, technology-driven product launches.
  • Ignoring the sustainability angle—ICON's mission is central; failing to address it shows lack of alignment.
  • Not providing specific metrics or results; vague claims like 'increased awareness' without numbers weaken your application.
