VP Brand & Communications

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 Atomico, Allianz, 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.

The Role: We’re hiring a VP Brand & Communications (E3 level). Your job is to define how tem is understood and ensure our brand becomes an active force in shaping the energy transition conversation. This is not a campaign role. It is not a performance marketing role. It is a category-defining, reputation-shaping leadership role reporting directly into the Chief Growth Officer. You will: Be the CGO’s thought partner on category, positioning and narrative Define tem’s long-term brand strategy and evolution Build and articulate our technology story with clarity and ambition Lead PR, Communications, Brand Partnerships and Brand strategy Run the Content & Credibility Service across tem You will sit at the intersection of growth, product, policy and leadership, ensuring tem is not just participating in the market, but shaping it.

Requirements: Must haves Significant experience (10yrs+) leading global brand and communications in a high-growth technology company Experience navigating complex, visible or politically sensitive environments Track record of shaping category narratives or repositioning companies through transition Deep expertise of technology storytelling and product narrative Experience running PR and corporate communications at scale Comfort operating close to senior leadership and challenging constructively High writing bar, across long-form narrative, executive comms and public statements Commercial awareness and ability to tie brand strategy to growth and market leverage Bonus points Experience building brand in fintech, infrastructure, AI or regulated categories. Experience working in highly scrutinised environments with regulatory complexity. Track record of building comms systems that scale. Obsessed with intersect of brand and AI

Why This Role Matters: Energy is undergoing a structural shift. Markets are decentralising. Trust is fragile. Technology is rewriting the rules. Brand in this category cannot be passive. It must be credible. Distinctive. Technologically literate. Culturally aware. And brave. If you’ve built brands in complex, high-trust categories before and want to define one in energy, this is that opportunity. 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.
