What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Manager, Technical Accounting & Reporting position at Xplora Search Group?
Senior Manager, Technical Accounting & Reporting
đź“Ť Berwyn, Pennsylvania | Hybrid
Looking for a role where you'll do more than maintain accounting policies—you'll help build them?
I'm partnering with a publicly traded, global specialty healthcare company that's in the midst of a major business transformation following a recent corporate restructuring. This is a rare opportunity to join the organization during a pivotal stage of growth, where you'll have the chance to influence technical accounting, reporting processes, and finance strategy from the ground up.
If you enjoy solving complex accounting issues, partnering with executive leadership, and working in a highly visible environment, this is a role worth exploring.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
âś… High-impact role with significant visibility across executive leadership
âś… Opportunity to help shape accounting policies and reporting processes during a large-scale transformation
âś… Broad exposure to strategic transactions, M&A, and complex accounting matters
âś… Collaborative environment with direct interaction across Finance, Legal, FP&A, Internal Audit, and external auditors
âś… Strong long-term career growth within a publicly traded organization
âś… Hybrid work schedule
âś… Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits
What You'll Be Doing

- Support SOX 404 compliance, control design, and ongoing process improvement initiatives.
- Lead preparation and review of SEC filings, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, and related disclosures.
- Partner with Legal, Investor Relations, and external auditors to ensure timely, accurate financial reporting.
- Monitor new accounting standards and SEC guidance while driving implementation across the organization.
