Energy Regulations Expert

📈 Who We Are:

We're rebuilding the energy transaction system, making it transparent and fair.

tem exists to put power back in the hands of people. Today’s wholesale energy market is stacked in favour of the few. It's a product of an age of oil and gas, riddled with markups and middlemen. We’re changing that.

Our product, RED™, built on a proprietary pricing engine that bypasses the wholesale market, enables businesses to buy the energy produced by renewable generators directly. That's 100% transparent transactions, ensuring affordable bills and fair compensation, to give every business ownership and control over where their energy comes from.

Since launching in 2021, we’ve saved UK businesses and generators over £20 million, powering a growing network of forward-thinking companies, from Pizza Pilgrims to Silverstone. Backed by top-tier VCs such as Atomico and Albion, we’re creating a new category in energy - one that’s local, decentralised, and built on trust.

🏅 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
