About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own capital strategy and sharpen the equity story, including non-equity facilities.
Deal with pre-emptive funding and manage in-bound investor relations: data room, metrics narrative, investor-grade reporting.
Lead tax and Big Four audit preparation.
Own the operational set-up of tem's US entity ahead of our Texas launch - legal, tax, banking, reporting.
Shape revenue strategy and platform growth for the third-party infrastructure model.
Own ERP integration and the flow of financial information to key stakeholders.
Plug into an AI-forward finance set-up - most of the team structuring is covered; you bring the judgement layer.
Leave the function cleaner than you found it: systems, processes, and reporting a permanent CFO can inherit on day one.

Requirements

What you’ll need

CFO (or equivalent) experience at a venture-backed scale-up, with Series B+ investment conversations and a leading role in at least one raise.
Hands-on capital strategy: equity story, investor relations, and non-equity or debt facilities.
International entity set-up, ideally US - comfortable owning the legal, tax, and banking workstreams.
ERP and financial systems ownership - you've built or fixed the information flow, not just consumed it.
Available 3 days a week for 6 months, able to start fast.
Complex commodity, energy, or regulated-market experience. (Bonus points)
Risk management: structure, levers, and the story to investors. (Bonus points)
AI-native finance team structuring - we have most of this covered; you'd sharpen it, not build it. (Bonus points)
The credibility and appetite to lead a funding round personally. (Bonus points)
Strong culture fit: direct, fast, low ego. (Bonus points)
