Energy Regulations Expert

📈 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 at an inflection point. As tem scales, we're building the internal expertise to match our ambition. We're creating a brand-new role: tem's first Energy regulations Expert.

This is a rare opportunity to shape regulatory strategy from the ground up at a high-growth, mission-driven company. You'll be the internal voice on energy market codes, settlement rules, and compliance - building the frameworks that enable tem to move faster, advocate more effectively, and scale with confidence.

You'll establish proactive monitoring of BSC, DCUSA, REC and other industry codes, translate complex regulatory changes into clear operational guidance, and build the compliance infrastructure that positions tem as a credible, sophisticated player in the energy market. In your first 12 months, you'll define settlement integrity controls, create regulatory playbooks for cross-functional teams, and become the go-to expert who turns regulatory complexity into competitive advantage.

🚀 Responsibilities:

• Monitor and interpret industry codes: Track BSC, DCUSA/DUoS, LLFs, NCCs, and REC changes. Publish monthly guidance on operational implications for Tendering, Billing, Ops, and Registration teams. Translate complex code language into clear decision memos and operating guardrails.

• Ensure settlement integrity: Define how code changes flow into our systems and billing rules. Specify acceptance tests to prevent leakage, mispricing, or duplicate charges. Maintain audit trails for settlement logic and compliance evidence.

• Establish metering policy: Set COP-compliance standards and pre-go-live checks. Document MSID vs MPAN handling, transmission vs distribution differences. Define exception pathways and evidence requirements.

• Own regulatory interfaces: Manage formal relationships with DNOs, code bodies, and industry partners. Maintain escalation ladders and dispute files. Triage legal and compliance queries, coordinating with external counsel when needed.

• Provide non-commodity forecasting: Maintain forward view for LLFs/NCCs/DUoS charges. Brief Finance and Billing on timing, pass-through logic, and customer communication triggers.

🎯 Requirements:

Requirements:

• Experience working with Ofgem (the energy regulator) or another energy-market regulator/code body, with a strong understanding of how to navigate and interpret regulatory frameworks (without relying on third-party consultants).

• You’ve been on the cutting edge of energy regulation.

• Legal background with exceptional attention to detail and ability to read complex long-form regulatory documents

• Proven ability to translate dense regulatory language into clear operational guidance and business implications

• Strong networking and stakeholder management skills—comfortable being in the room with DNOs, code bodies, and industry partners

• Experience in a high-growth or scale-up environment where you've had to build compliance frameworks from scratch

Nice-to-Haves:

• Direct experience with BSC, DCUSA, REC, or other energy market settlement codes

• AI-native approach to document analysis and monitoring

• Experience in roles requiring independent challenge of external partners or consultants

• Background in settlement integrity or billing compliance
