The Company

At THE ICONIC our mission is to deliver seamless and inspiring experiences for our customers and our people.

The Team

At THE ICONIC, innovation drives us; we believe that innovation should not be sitting in a siloed team but rather be part of everyone and everything we do & deliver. Every person in tech has a voice and we find that our best products are achieved through collaboration.  

We have over 120 people in tech, not to mention 45 nationalities (and counting!) This means that our skills and experience is diverse, allowing for greater collaboration and constant learning. All of our teams are cross-functional, mission-driven and able to iterate from inception to production (DevOps mentality) without being blocked or having to ask permission from other teams. We love to move fast and validate learning using data (lucky for us our Data Science & Analytics team is also world-class!)
