Head of FP&A

📈 Who We Are:

We are rebuilding the energy transaction, making it transparent and fair.

Our goal is to put power back where it belongs, in the hands of customers and to take on one of the most critical problems of our century, access to low cost electricity.

tem exists to fix a broken global energy market that’s long favoured legacy operators, intermediaries, and opaque pricing. Today’s electricity system was not designed for rapid decarbonisation, AI-driven efficiency or fair access for the actual users - businesses and generators.

We’ve built the first AI native transaction infrastructure to reinvent how electricity is bought, sold and priced. Our technology is designed to cut out the inefficient fees, automate complex market flows, and bring transparency and fairness to energy transactions at scale.

In late 2025, after extraordinary growth, we closed a $75 million Series B - led by Lightspeed Venture Partners with participation from Albion, Atomico, Allianz, Hitachi Ventures, Hitachi Ventures, Schroders Capital and others - positioning us for global expansion, deeper product innovation and category leadership.

We’re scaling internationally and building toward a future where AI-driven infrastructure is foundational to electricity markets worldwide.

Since launch, our modern utility product, known as RED, has already facilitated thousands of business customers and billions in energy transaction value, proving that modern software and AI can transform an industry built on legacy systems.

At tem, we’re not just building another energy company, we’re rearchitecting market infrastructure so that transparency, efficiency and sustainability become the default, not the exception.

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.

• 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.

• Competitive salary - our current band for this role is up to £120,000 or equivalent in local currency.

• Stock options so everyone has ownership in our mission.

• 25 days holiday plus public holidays. Swap public holidays for the ones that matter most to you, and enjoy your birthday off.

• Remote first and flexible working, with clear core hours and no internal meetings on Friday afternoons.

• Up to GBP1,200 or EUR1,200 per year for your remote setup.

• Up to GBP150 or EUR150 per month for wellbeing.

• 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.

• Bar Raiser Interview with Stakeholders.

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.
