Today’s electricity system was not designed for rapid decarbonisation, AI-driven efficiency or fair access for the actual users - businesses and generators.\nWe’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.\nIn late 2025, after extraordinary growth, we closed a $75 million Series B - led by Lightspeed Venture Partners with participation from Albion, Atomico, Allianz, Hitachi Ventures, Hitachi Ventures, Schroders Capital and others - positioning us for global expansion, deeper product innovation and category leadership.\nWe’re scaling internationally and building toward a future where AI-driven infrastructure is foundational to electricity markets worldwide.\nSince 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.\nAt 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.\nThe Role\nWe're hiring a People Operations Partner to join our Performance team.\ntem is rebuilding the energy transaction - transparent, fair and built on trust. Behind that mission is a company growing fast, and a Performance team that's already lean and stretched. Core People operations needs more firepower as we scale, and there's a direct commercial angle too: a strong People Operations function is what lets new joiners ramp up and become productive faster once they arrive.\nThis is a multi-disciplinary People Operations role at the centre of the employee lifecycle - equal parts operational delivery, automation and continuous improvement. You'll be the reliable hands keeping People processes running as we scale, from multi-country payroll to onboarding, employee changes and offboarding. You'll also build the tools, automations and lightweight AI workflows that connect our systems (Rippling, Notion, Linear, Slack, Ashby, n8n and Google Workspace), so the function doesn't need to double in size every time headcount does.\nIn your first 12 months, you might:\nTake ownership of payroll across our UK and employer-of-record employees, keeping every cycle accurate and on time as pay schedules and countries multiply.\n\nBecome the trusted point of contact for employees and managers, owning their queries through to resolution.\n\nBuild the automations and AI-enabled workflows that remove repetitive manual work from the employee lifecycle.\n\nTurn recurring pain points into better processes, tools or self-service, and measure whether they actually worked.\n\nMove across People disciplines as priorities shift - reward and benchmarking, pensions and options administration, performance cycles, engagement and people data.\n\nResponsibilities\nRun payroll end to end: own monthly payroll across UK and employer-of-record employees - changes, corrections, off-cycle and ex-gratia payments, contractor payroll and invoicing, and country-specific items - keeping it accurate and on time as we add pay schedules and countries.\n\nKeep the lifecycle running: deliver core People operations across onboarding, employee changes, contracts and documentation, leave, mobility (visas and international moves), EOR and contractor setup, and offboarding, flexing into whatever the business needs most.\n\nBe the trusted point of contact: own employee and manager queries through to resolution with a clear response standard, rather than passing them between functions.\n\nKeep the foundations accurate: maintain employee data, documentation and systems so that everything else can depend on them.\n\nAutomate the repeatable: build and maintain automations and lightweight AI-enabled tools, workflows and agents that connect Rippling, Notion, Linear, Slack, Ashby, n8n, Google Workspace and similar, and remove repetitive manual work - with controls so speed never costs accuracy, privacy or employee trust.\n\nOwn the People tech stack: evolve our People technology ecosystem - evaluate emerging tools, consolidate where we can, and simplify the architecture.\n\nImprove continuously: turn recurring employee and manager pain points into better processes, tools, guidance or self-service, measure whether they worked, and give foundational People processes a named owner and a runbook someone else could follow cold.\n\nDesign to delight and to scale: we treat our people like top athletes and aim to delight at every step of the employee journey, and what works at today's size shouldn't need twice the People team when headcount doubles - default to eliminating or automating work rather than administering it.\n\nPartner across the business: work with Finance, Legal, Talent, Performance Partners and functional specialists to turn People initiatives into scalable services, and build dashboards and lightweight analysis that help the team and the business make better decisions.\n\nRequirements\nMust-Haves\nYou've worked in People Operations, People Services, HR Operations or another operational People role - generalists welcome - and you hold a high bar on accuracy and confidentiality.\n\nYou've run payroll cycles end to end, ideally multi-country, in-house or through an employer of record. UK fundamentals (PAYE, RTI, pension auto-enrolment, statutory payments) are familiar, or clearly learnable fast if your payroll experience comes from another market.\n\nYou're highly comfortable with technology: AI is part of how you work, you actively experiment with new tools and capabilities, and you can build automations through no-code or low-code tools, integrations and AI workflows.\n\nYou think in systems and workflows rather than individual tasks, with a strong instinct for simplification (\"why are we doing this manually?\"), and you're comfortable using data to diagnose problems and make decisions.\n\nYou operate effectively in ambiguity, without waiting for a perfectly defined process or remit, and you balance efficiency with empathy - People Operations is about people, not just workflows.\n\nStrong ownership instincts: when something's broken, unclear or inefficient, your instinct is to fix it, and you're willing to move across People disciplines depending on where the organisation needs you.\n\nDesirable\nBreadth across the People remit beyond Operations - reward and benchmarking, pensions, benefits, or performance and engagement. This role is deliberately multi-disciplinary.\n\nFamiliarity with the basics of UK and EU employment law, and experience administering equity or share options (for example EMI or unapproved schemes, and cap-table tools such as Vestd).\n\nExperience supporting international employment through employers of record, and setting up or managing contractors (including off-payroll and IR35 awareness).\n\nExperience in a fast-scaling startup or scale-up, especially through a period of doubling headcount or entering new countries.\n\nBenefits & Perks\nStock options so everyone has ownership in our mission.\n\n25 days holiday plus public holidays. Swap public holidays for the ones that matter most to you, and enjoy your birthday off.\n\nRemote first and flexible working, with clear core hours and no internal meetings on Friday afternoons.\n\nUp to GBP1,200 or EUR1,400 per year for your remote setup.\n\nUp to GBP150 or EUR170 per month for wellbeing.\n\nInterview Process\nWe move fast. Most processes take 2 to 3 weeks from first chat to offer. If you need us to adapt anything, let us know.\nIntro call with our Talent team.\n\nHiring Manager interview.\n\nSkills interview, which might include a practical exercise.\n\nBar Raiser interview with leadership stakeholders.\n\nWe 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.","description_format":"text","description_chars":8617,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Flexible schedule","Stock options"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Smart Grid","Energy Management"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-29T12:23:15Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-10-09T10:36:48Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-10-20T16:58:04Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"GB","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Licensed UK visa sponsor (Skilled Worker)","filings_12m":null,"filings_prev_12m":null,"green_card_filings_12m":null,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":"Skilled Worker","cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T06:20:15+00:00","sources":["UK Home Office: register of licensed sponsors (workers)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":46,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":0.85,"p_active":0.608,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":29,"expected_fill_days":58,"reasons":["seen:29","velocity","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-29T05:49:05Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/tem-energy-people-operations-partner","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/tem-energy-people-operations-partner.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-29T19:09:18Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":28474,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-30T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":580},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=580"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ftem-energy-people-operations-partner"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ftem-energy-people-operations-partner"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ftem-energy-people-operations-partner"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/tem-energy-people-operations-partner\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ftem-energy-people-operations-partner"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":1461069}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"tem.energy","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":1461069},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
