[Hiring] Head of FP&A @tem

Role Description

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 and 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.

Qualifications

• 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.

Requirements

• Energy sector experience.
• Scale-up or VC-backed company experience.
• Experience supporting board reporting and investor conversations.

Benefits

• 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.

Interview 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.
