Role
Who you are
- Proven data team leadership: Experience managing data engineering and analytics teams in a growing, fast-paced environment. You know how to support individuals, manage performance, and lead through change
- Strong team and delivery focus: Comfortable leading without being the technical expert. You know how to unblock progress, create focus, and help teams deliver consistently
- Technically credible: You bring a solid understanding of modern data concepts (e.g. ELT vs ETL, pipeline orchestration, observability, data warehouse design, dbt, BI tools) and have experience working with multi-disciplinary data teams. You know how to balance quick wins with longer-term data infrastructure investments
- Great cross-functional partner: You've worked closely with the wider business, including Product, Engineering, Ops, and other Data teams, to shape data strategy and delivery. You can speak both technical and business languages
- Future-oriented leader: Excited about building a long-term data organisation, and supporting emerging leaders as they take on more responsibility
- Strong culture builder: You lead with openness and empathy, create psychological safety, and know how to foster inclusion and trust across a diverse team
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Data Engineering Manager to lead and scale our growing Data team, supporting both data engineering and analytics as we expand.
- We are a business where data is at the core of our product and this role will play a key role in shaping how the team operates, to help power our product and form the foundations of decision making across the business
- This role is focused on people leadership, delivery support, and team development. You won’t be building pipelines or writing SQL day to day, but you’ll support our ICs to do their best work, guide technical direction at a structural level, and partner with Product and Engineering to ensure our data efforts stay aligned and impactful
- In your first 12 months, success looks like this: you’ve built trust across the team, helped individuals grow in their roles, improved our operating rhythm and delivery confidence, and laid the foundations for a scalable data organisation as we continue to grow towards our Series B
- Lead and grow a high-performing data team: Own hiring, onboarding, performance, and progression across both data engineering and analytics. Create an environment where data practitioners feel supported, motivated, and set up to succeed
- Champion role clarity and tailored progression: Build clear distinctions between roles across the team - Data Engineering, Analytics Engineering, and Data Analytics. Evolve career paths, evaluation criteria, and KPIs that reflect the unique contributions of each discipline
- Create clarity and drive delivery: Help the team stay focused and aligned on high-impact priorities. You’ll bring structure and rhythm to our work, without unnecessary process, so we can move fast with confidence
- Support technical direction at a team level: Support engineers and analysts to make smart architectural and design decisions. While you won’t be hands-on, you’ll bring a strong grasp of core data principles and help the team maintain quality and scalability as we grow
- Partner cross-functionally: Work closely with Product, Engineering, and Operations to ensure the data team is set up to support current and future product development. Help translate business needs into data priorities, and vice versa
- Foster a scalable data culture: Set up the team for long-term success by putting the right structure in place today, and supporting future leaders to grow as the team evolves

- Culture-Add Interview with Stakeholders (45 Mins). The final session will be with two cross-functional stakeholders, and will explore how your values align with ours, and is designed to be a genuine two-way conversation, your chance to understand what it’s really like to work at tem
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.
