Role
Who you are
- Proven experience as a People Partner, HRBP or equivalent in a high-growth, remote-first environment. You’ll need to have evidence of implementing projects across the employee lifecycle that enabled your business to scale
- Strong analytical mindset with experience turning data and insights into practical performance strategies
- Demonstrated ability to work autonomously, manage ambiguity, and operate across multiple stakeholders
- Experience partnering with different Leaders to diagnose issues and build high-performing teams
- Strong communication and storytelling skills - able to turn complex feedback into clear, actionable recommendations
- Ability to connect people performance to company performance
- Comfortable balancing strategic thinking with hands-on delivery
Desirable
- Experience in fast-moving B2B or technology environments
- Background in organisational development or leadership coaching
- Exposure to systems thinking or frameworks for performance enablement
What the job involves
- We’re hiring a Lead People Partner. Your job to be done is to diagnose and remove performance bottlenecks across tem, turning insights into fixes that keep performance high as we scale
- You’ll join the People & Talent team, which is currently focused on three core areas (we call these Engines) and each has their own metric:
- Hiring speed and quality (Recruitment Engine)
- Ramp-up time (Academy Engine)
- Velocity and performance of our people (Performance Engine)
- You’ll own the Performance Engine, setting strategy to unlock performance across the company. You’ll go deep on root causes, using people insights and data to design and ship solutions. Work will span the HR spectrum, from organisational design to performance management, wherever the constraint sits
- You’ll partner with People Leaders (currently 9) and other experts (Engine owners) to diagnose friction points and blockers. Expect insights to come from all directions: C‑suite, Engine Owners, and People Leaders - and you’ll prioritise and push back as needed to hit your metrics
- Owning a core part of our strategy → people performance; translating data and insights into action with measurable outcomes
- Partner with Managers and Experts to surface blockers and pain points quickly and identify opportunities to remove friction so tem can move faster
- Keep work visible and outcomes measurable through clear documentation, tracking and communication so everyone at tem knows what you’re doing and why
- Collaborate closely with the People and Leadership teams to continuously evolve how tem defines and enables performance
- Work on high impact projects across the employee lifecycle as needed
Application process
- We move fast. Most processes take 2 to 3 weeks from first chat to offer. If you need us to adapt anything, let us know
- Intro call with Talent, 30 minutes
- Hiring Manager interview, 60 minutes
- Skills interview with the People team, 60 to 90 minutes, including a practical exercise review
- Culture Add interview with cross-functional stakeholders, 45 minutes
Our take
tem is a next-gen energy transactions company that changes the way renewable energy is bought, sold and powered. Rebalancing the playing field away from "Big Energy", tem creates affordable, traceable and smart energy transaction management tools.
The company provides businesses and consumers with access to the same financial benefits as Big Energy companies by distributing its own purchased energy to customers. Once they’re signed up, customers are matched with a suitable generator, and the tem platform helps execute contracts, take payments, and manage invoicing.
This is a truly disruptive concept, and is proving to be a successful one. tem currently processes over £50 million in direct transactions and saves millions for over 1000 UK businesses wanting to switch from traditional utilities tied to the wholesale market. Whilst UK consumers are notoriously hesitant to switch providers, recent soaring energy prices is luring many into giving it a go.
