Company mission
Rebuilding the energy transaction system, making it transparent and fair.
Role
Who you are
- Proven FP&A experience - you’ve owned a financial model and a monthly performance vs plan cycle before
- A background in a complex business: fintech, energy, or any business with a trading element (commodities and oil & gas count)
- A real understanding of financial markets
- An independent operator: you take raw actuals and build your own view rather than waiting to be handed analysis
- Excellent data analysis skills: you like getting to the bottom of what drives performance, you’ve worked with messy data, and you relish a tough data challenge
- Comfortable building AI and agent-assisted workflows into planning processes
- Energy sector experience
- Scale-up or VC-backed company experience
- Experience supporting board reporting and investor conversations
- We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, experiences, and identities, including those that are traditionally underrepresented in the tech and energy sectors. If you’re excited about this role but not sure you meet every requirement, we’d still love to hear from you. Your unique perspective could be exactly what we’re looking for
What the job involves
- We’re hiring a Head of FP&A into our Finance team
- You’ll own tem’s planning and forecasting layer: the financial model, monthly performance vs plan, and the forward-looking view - including cash runway - that leadership and the board run on. Your work is how every part of tem knows how it’s tracking against plan
- This is much more an FP&A job than a controller job. You’ll take the actuals and build your own independent view - modelling, comparing, challenging - partnering closely with the VP of Financial Performance
- In your first 12 months, you might:
- Take full ownership of tem’s financial model and make it the single source of truth for planning
- Stand up a monthly performance vs plan cycle that lands on time for every part of the business
- Own the monthly cash runway forecast update with the VP of Financial Performance
- Build a forward-looking KPI set that leadership actually runs on
- Own quarterly an annual planning on behalf of Finance
- Codify planning logic into agent-assisted workflows instead of manual spreadsheet grind
- Own the model: take full ownership of the financial model - structure, assumptions, upkeep - so its outputs are trusted across the business
- Run performance vs plan: deliver the monthly cycle for every part of the business on time, with independent variance analysis built from the actuals
- Keep the forward view sharp: own the monthly cash runway forecast and maintain the forward-looking KPIs that guide decisions
- Turn variance into action: translate the numbers into insight leadership can act on
- Build with AI: codify planning logic into repeatable, agent-assisted workflows so the function scales without headcount
Application process
- First call with our Talent Team
- Behaviour Interview with the Hiring Manager
- Technical Interview with the Team (90 mins). You’ll meet with potential peers in this session and will discuss financial modelling, performance vs plan, and forecasting in a business like ours
- Culture-Add Interview with Stakeholders
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.
