Senior Manager, Technical Accounting & SEC Reporting

Senior Manager, Technical Accounting & SEC Reporting

Based on site at Rocket Lab's global headquarters in Long Beach, CA, the Senior Manager, Technical Accounting & SEC Reporting will be responsible for building the analysis and preparing the filings. You'll research the technical questions our transactions raise and draft the memos that answer them, prepare the computations and footnotes that follow, and run the tie-out that makes our 10-Q and 10-K defensible. This is a hands-on role with real technical substance and a clear path to greater ownership. If you've been doing SEC registrant work in public accounting and want to build depth in a company with genuinely complex accounting, this is a strong next step.

You'll bring these qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field. 10+ years of accounting experience, including public accounting audit. CPA license or active candidate. Solid US GAAP foundation and the ability to research a technical question and write up a supportable conclusion. SEC registrant experience, either in-house or through public accounting audit of public filers. Strong Excel and data-handling discipline, with attention to detail that holds up under review.

These qualifications would be nice to have: Direct hands-on experience preparing Forms 10-Q and 10-K in-house. Workiva and XBRL exposure. Long-term contract revenue recognition experience; aerospace, defense, or government contracting background. Experience with Oracle Cloud, Deltek Costpoint, or Blackline.
