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 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.

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.
