tem is hiring a Chief of Staff

tem is building a new category in energy — one that's decentralised, direct, and built on trust. We're looking for a Chief of Staff to extend the CEO's reach across regulators, investors, communications, and strategic alignment as the company scales. This is an external-facing, high-trust role representing tem's mission and strategy in high-stakes conversations and running critical relationships.

What You'll Do

• Represent tem in regulatory meetings, including with Ofgem, advocating for our mission and capturing emerging regulatory trends.
• Own and deepen investor relationships, including pitching, answering performance and product questions, and maintaining momentum across the investor funnel.
• Build fundraising materials with the CEO, shaping the structure and storytelling of decks, and supporting the fundraise process from preparation through negotiation.
• Drive alignment on high-leverage decisions across Product, Commercial, Ops, and Data by clarifying problems, surfacing trade-offs, and pushing to a decision.
• Act as an early warning system on business performance, reading P&L and engine performance, flagging risks and areas of concern, and helping shape the next action.
• Support legal and contractual work at a practical level, helping triage, prioritise, and manage contract and risk work with internal and external legal partners.
• Run the founder narrative engine: draft and ship external posts, thought leadership, speeches, and internal announcements that strengthen founder brand and company clarity.

What We're Looking For

• Experience operating as a senior generalist in high-stakes environments, such as Chief of Staff, Strategy and Operations, BizOps, Investor Relations, Partnerships, or as an ex-investor with operating exposure.
• Experience in regulated markets, energy, fintech, or other policy-heavy environments.
• Comfort representing strategy externally, including with regulators, investors, and senior stakeholders, with strong presence and judgement.
• Strong product and commercial mindset, able to translate messy inputs into crisp decisions, trade-offs, and next steps.
• Numbers fluency: able to discuss performance, unit economics, P&L, and business drivers without needing a finance translator.
• Exceptional communication: can write and edit founder-grade narrative, including speeches, posts, and strategic messaging.
• Execution strength: can run complex workstreams end to end, keep momentum, and land outcomes across a cross-functional set of leaders.

Nice to Have

• Direct fundraising experience, including deck creation, diligence prep, and negotiation support.
• Contract and risk fluency, with practical experience triaging and managing legal workflows.
• Experience building a content or narrative engine for a founder or executive brand.

Team & Environment

You will report directly to the CEO.

Benefits & Compensation

• Salary aligned to internal benchmarks and reviewed twice a year.
• 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.
• Home working and wellbeing budgets: Up to £1,200 or €1,200 per year for your remote setup. Up to £150 or €150 per month for wellbeing.
