SEC Reporting Manager in London

Volta is building AI-ready data centre infrastructure across the UK, Norway, Germany, Spain and the US, and is preparing for a US public listing as a foreign private issuer following a Series A led by a16z and Altimeter. Getting our external reporting infrastructure ready - US GAAP financial statements, SEC-standard disclosures and input to the supporting close processes - is one of the finance function's defining projects over the next 12 to 16 months.

As SEC Reporting Manager you will build and run the external reporting process: preparing US GAAP consolidated financial statements and footnotes, drafting disclosures to SEC standard, and constructing the supporting evidence and tie-out discipline expected of a registrant. You will work directly with the Director of Technical Accounting and the VP Accounting and be central to the F-1 preparation and the first audited financial statements. This is a build role, not a maintain role - you will create the reporting calendar, the disclosure checklists and the tie-out packs from scratch and see them through a first-year Big Four audit into a live registration statement.

What You Will Be Doing

• Prepare US GAAP consolidated financial statements, including full footnote disclosures, for audit and ultimately SEC filing
• Build and maintain the disclosure checklist and reporting calendar across annual and interim cycles
• Draft SEC-standard disclosures (F-1/20-F sections, MD&A support) working with the Director of Technical Accounting and the VP of Accounting, as well as the wider team
• Own the tie-out process: every number in the statements agreed to support, referenced and reviewable
• Manage the consolidation and FX translation (ASC 830) mechanics feeding the statements
• Coordinate audit deliverables and respond to auditor requests through fieldwork and completion
• Prepare statutory bridge outputs for UK filing requirements alongside the US GAAP statements
• Implement reporting tools (disclosure management/XBRL readiness) as the function matures
• Support quarterly reporting design ahead of public-company cadence

What You Bring

• Qualified accountant (ACA/CPA or equivalent) with 5+ years' experience including financial statement preparation under US GAAP
• Hands-on experience drafting or auditing SEC filings (10-K, 20-F, F-1/S-1) - registrant or Big Four
• Strong command of US GAAP disclosure requirements and consolidation, including foreign currency translation
• Meticulous tie-out and documentation discipline
• Experience working with external auditors through year-end reporting cycles
• Ability to build processes from scratch rather than operate established ones
• IPO-readiness, foreign private issuer or first-time-adoption experience an advantage
• Comfort with deadline pressure and shifting priorities in a pre-IPO environment

What We Offer

• Competitive salary based on the work you do here, not your previous salary
• Equity in Volta, giving you the opportunity to share in the company's long-term success
• Retirement/pension contributions
• Comprehensive health, wellbeing and insurance benefits
• Generous number of vacation days each year
