Lead Brand Specialist
📈 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 hiring a Lead Brand Specialist to own how tem shows up in the world: in the press, on stage, in campaigns, and across every piece of content the business produces.
This is not a brand strategy role. It is not a creative direction role. Those sit above.
This is the role for someone who can take a clear point of view and make sure the world hears it. You'll be the day-to-day owner of our PR agency relationship, drive campaign activation from brief to delivery, represent tem at industry moments, and build the brand systems that mean every team member can create on-brand work without escalating to you.
You'll use AI tools not as a novelty but as a genuine productivity multiplier: to build brand infrastructure faster, to scale asset creation, and to cut the manual overhead of keeping everything consistent.
If you want to own a strategy deck and present to the board, this isn't your role. If you want to see your work on the front page of trade press, on stage at a major energy conference, and embedded across a fast-growing org, it is.
🚀 Responsibilities
Own PR and earned media
Be the day-to-day owner of the PR agency relationship: brief them clearly, hold them to account, and ensure all coverage aligns with tem's category narrative.
Identify and land earned media moments, whether reactive to the news cycle or proactively placed.
Develop executive and leadership visibility, ensuring tem's spokespeople are well-briefed and well-positioned.
Build a press calendar that compounds attention over time rather than reacting in bursts.
Drive campaign activation
Translate brand strategy and product narrative into campaigns with clear briefs, timelines, and measurable outputs.
Run campaigns end-to-end, from concept through to execution and measurement, partnering with content, design, and PMM as needed.
Ensure every campaign lands with consistency and clarity, not just internally but in how it's received externally.
Democratise the brand
Build lightweight brand systems, prompt libraries, guidelines, and templates that let the whole org create great work without escalating to you.
Run the brand QA process so quality is maintained as the team grows, without becoming a bottleneck.
Train and enable internal stakeholders so brand application improves across content, sales, and partner work.
Create on-brand external content
Write and shape brand-led content including POV pieces, press materials, campaign scripts, and comms assets.
Ensure a consistent, high-quality standard across all external-facing material, including partner and co-marketing outputs.
🎯 Requirements
Must haves
Proven experience in brand marketing and communications, with direct experience managing a PR agency.
A track record of activating campaigns with clear outputs, not just developing strategies.
Strong writing ability across formats: press releases, campaign briefs, LinkedIn POVs, and internal comms guidance.
Ability to build simple, usable brand systems that unlock self-service for others.
Comfortable working across PMM, content, design, and leadership without needing heavy direction.
Genuine fluency with AI tools: you use them in your daily workflow, not as a talking point.
Organised and reliable: you own a calendar, hit deadlines, and flag risks early.
Bonus points
Experience in B2B, fintech, energy tech, or infrastructure categories.
Experience working with a PR agency in a challenger brand context.
Experience supporting a rebrand or category-creation moment.
Familiarity with Notion or similar tools for documentation and collaboration.
