About this role
📈 Who We Are:
We are rebuilding the energy transaction, making it transparent and fair.
We're rebuilding how energy is bought and sold. That means cutting out middlemen, connecting businesses directly with renewable generators, and ensuring every transaction is traceable and transparent.
We're a 160+ person team - operators, data scientists, engineers, customer champions and energy experts - backed by top-tier investors including Lightspeed Venture Partners, Hitachi Ventures, Allianz, AlbionVC and Atomico. We closed a $75M Series B round in early 2026, taking our total funding to $94M, and we now power energy for over 4,000 UK businesses across 8,500+ sites, with over £75m in value returned to businesses and generators so far.
We're a technology company solving the energy industry, not an energy company. Some people call us a neo-utility, the neo-bank idea, applied to energy.
The industry is noticing. We were crowned Europe's Most Exciting Tech Company at the GP Bullhound Allstars awards, came in at #6 on LinkedIn's Top Startups 2026 in the UK, #7 on the Scaling Europe 50 of Europe's fastest-growing companies, and #14 on Sifted's AI 100.

🚀 The Role
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.
🎯 Responsibilities
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.
✅ Requirements
Must-Haves
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.
Desirable
Energy sector experience.
Scale-up or VC-backed company experience.
Experience supporting board reporting and investor conversations.
🎁 Benefits & Perks
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.
