Manager, Technical Accounting & Financial Reporting

Not your everyday company

Lemonade completely reinvented how insurance works. As a customer-centric tech company, we created an insurance experience that is smart, instant, and delightful.

At Lemonade, you'll be working with a group of like-minded makers, who get a kick out of moving fast and delivering great products. We surround ourselves with some of the smartest, most motivated, creative people who are filled with positive energy and good karma.

Unlike most publicly traded companies, we're nimble and efficient. We take pride in the fact that we still think and operate like a startup. We don't care much about titles and hierarchy and instead focus on innovation, bold moves, and challenging the status quo.

We're built as a lean, data-driven organization that relies on a common understating of objectives and goals to provide teams with autonomy and ownership. We don't like spending our days in meetings and we skip committees altogether. At Lemonade, there's no such thing as going over someone's head. We have zero tolerance for bureaucracy, office politics, and lean-back personalities.

As a Public Benefit Corporation and a certified B-Corp, we deliver environmental and social impact using our products and tech. Through our Giveback program, we partner with organizations such as the ACLU, New Story, The Humane Society, Malala Fund, American Red Cross, 360.org, charity: water, and dozens of others, and have donated millions towards reforestation, education, animal rights, LGBTQ+ causes, access to water, and more.

You'll be an integral part of the external reporting process by enhancing, implementing, and managing our periodic SEC reporting. You will also be responsible for supporting the team with all accounting policy work: researching, applying the appropriate accounting standards (US GAAP, US Statutory and IFRS), and documenting accounting conclusions for non-routine transactions.

In this role you'll

• Be responsible for managing the preparation and timely completion of SEC quarterly and annual reports (Forms 10-K and 10-Q), as well as other SEC forms (Form 8-K and proxy statement)
• Prepare and/or coordinate with the team on all footnote disclosures, including completing the GAAP and SEC disclosure checklists to ensure compliance with required disclosures
• Maintain timeline and monitor progress of tasks and deliverables against the reporting milestones
• Perform technical accounting research, and assist in responding to technical accounting inquiries and/or preparation of technical accounting memos supporting significant and/or non-routine transactions
• Monitor new accounting standards and participate in the interpretation, analysis, and documentation of the financial statement impact of any new accounting standards applicable to the company, and work with the team in their implementation
• Assist in the establishment, documentation, and maintenance of accounting policy documentation, including maintenance of documentation for certain SOX financial reporting controls

What you'll need

• 7+ years mix of Big 4 audit or advisory, and corporate experience working on public companies
• Strong technical accounting skills regarding US GAAP and knowledge of SEC rules (working knowledge of US statutory accounting and IFRS for property and casualty insurance companies is a plus)
• B.S. in Accounting or equivalent experience; CPA preferred
• Experience researching and documenting support for accounting conclusions
• Strong project management skills to ensure compliance with reporting timeline and prompt delivery of internal and external deliverables
• Comfortable working independently as well as collaborating with internal teams at multiple levels in a fast-paced environment
