ICON builds robotic systems that construct buildings. In March 2026 the company commercially launched Titan, its multi-story robotic construction platform, and has raised more than $550 million to date. As Titan reaches builders in the field, ICON's success depends on those builders becoming confident, capable operators, and that is what this role builds. The training program is the first hands-on touchpoint a customer has with ICON before they ever print, and it has to be an exceptional experience.

The Director, Customer Training & Enablement builds ICON's training program from the ground up, turning a decade of hard-won construction technology knowledge into structured learning that takes a new operator from zero to running a large-scale 3D printing operation. You will own the program end to end: the curriculum and content, the hands-on training operations, and the platform that credentials operators and measures how they perform in the field. This role reports to the Customer Success leader within Technology Operations and builds a team beneath it.

Working across Product Engineering, Technology Operations, Titan Platform Sales, Customer Support, and Marketing, you will pull ICON's technical knowledge into a program that customers recognize as a differentiated part of the ICON offering, one that drives adoption, satisfaction, and renewal. This is a build-it role for someone who has stood up complex programs in new or fast-moving domains, not a corporate learning-and-development specialist.
