Who We Are: We have built the new way for energy to be transacted. tem exists to fix a creaking energy market. Today's wholesale system is stacked in favor of the few - a relic of the oil and gas era, riddled with markups and middlemen. We're changing that. Our product, RED™, is built on a proprietary pricing engine that bypasses the wholesale market, enabling businesses to buy energy produced by renewable generators directly. That means clear, auditable transactions that ensure affordable bills and fair compensation - giving every business real ownership and control over where their energy comes from. Since launching in 2021, we've saved UK businesses and generators over £25 million, powering a growing network of forward-thinking companies, from Pizza Pilgrims to Silverstone. Backed by top-tier VCs including Atomico and Albion, we're creating a new category in energy - one that's decentralized, direct, and built on trust.

You will help tem show up at CEO standard in meetings with Ofgem and other regulators, and in meetings with investors. You will be able to speak to strategy, product, numbers, and performance with confidence, and you will operate well under ambiguity. You will also run the founder narrative engine: drafting, shaping, and shipping comms that build founder brand and company momentum. You will support fundraising end to end, including deck storytelling, diligence readiness, and negotiation support.
