Fractional CFO (6 Month Contract)

This is a six-month fractional engagement, three days per week, covering tem's finance function end to end while a permanent CFO search runs in parallel. The role carries real ownership across capital strategy, US entity setup ahead of a Texas launch, investor relations, and Big Four audit preparation. The expectation is to leave systems, processes, and reporting in a state ready for a permanent CFO to inherit on day one.

tem operates an AI-native transaction infrastructure platform for electricity markets, having closed a Series B round in late 2025. The finance function is already AI-forward; the incoming CFO brings the senior judgement layer to sharpen it, not build it from scratch.

• Own capital strategy and refine the equity story, including non-equity and debt facilities.
• Manage inbound investor relations, including data room preparation, metrics narrative, and investor-grade reporting.
• Lead tax and Big Four audit preparation.
• Oversee the operational setup of the US entity, covering legal, tax, banking, and reporting requirements.
• Shape revenue strategy and platform growth for the third-party infrastructure model.
• Own ERP integration and the flow of financial information to key stakeholders.

• CFO or equivalent experience at a venture-backed scale-up, with Series B or later investment conversations and a leading role in at least one raise.
• Hands-on capital strategy expertise, including equity story development, investor relations, and non-equity or debt facilities.
• Proven experience setting up international entities, ideally in the US, across legal, tax, and banking workstreams.
• ERP and financial systems ownership, having built or significantly improved information flows rather than simply consuming them.
• Availability for three days per week over a six-month term, with the ability to start promptly.
• Desirable: experience in complex commodity, energy, or regulated markets, and risk management communication to investors.

tem is an energy technology scale-up building AI-native transaction infrastructure to bring transparency and fairness to electricity markets. Backed by a $75 million Series B led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, with participation from Atomico, Allianz, and others, the company is scaling internationally and has already facilitated billions in energy transaction value through its modern utility product.
