Early career roles · Summer 2026

Roles for people
early in their
careers.

tem connects UK businesses directly to renewable energy generators, removing wholesale market intermediaries. We are growing quickly and we are looking for people who can contribute from day one.

We are not running a graduate scheme. We are running a one-day assessment event and making offers to the candidates who impress us. Apply, come to the day, get a role.

How it works

Three stages.
No surprises.

The process is straightforward. No lengthy back-and-forth, no months of waiting. You apply, you attend the day, you find out.

Stage 01
Apply.

Drop your CV, LinkedIn, and a link to something you've built. Then complete a short timed written assessment on this page. Takes about 15 minutes and it's designed to be hard to fake. The best submissions get invited to the day. We triage with our own AI plus human review, so we can move quickly and fairly.

Stage 02
Come to the day.

We invite around 15 shortlisted candidates to a full day event in London. You are paid for your time. If you are travelling from outside London, we will cover domestic travel costs up to £150. The day includes a guest speaker, a hands-on AI challenge, and a structured assessment. It is designed to be worthwhile regardless of the outcome.

Stage 03
Get hired.

We identify the strongest candidates across the day and invite them for a brief conversation before close. Offers are issued the following morning. You will indicate the role you are applying for, and if we believe another role would be a stronger fit, we will say so. Everyone receives a clear response.

What to expect

The day,
laid out.

A straightforward account of what the day involves. You will work on real problems using real tools. Here is how it is structured.

09:00
Arrival, coffee, introductions.

Arrive, get set up, and meet the team. We will walk through the structure of the day, confirm your access to the tools and answer any questions before we begin.

09:30
Talk: a guest worth listening to.

We've got someone coming in to talk about building in a hard industry. Not a corporate keynote. More like a 30-minute conversation you'll actually remember. This is part of the day regardless of what else happens.

10:15
The challenge begins.

You'll be given a brief and a set of tools. Your job is to find the problem worth solving, then show us how you'd solve it. We're not looking for a polished deck. We're looking for how you think when you're under a bit of pressure.

13:00
Lunch.

Proper food. Time to breathe, talk to people, and not think about the challenge for an hour.

14:00
Presentations and challenge wrap-up.

You present back what you found and how you'd approach it. Short and sharp. This isn't a formal pitch. It's a conversation. We'll ask questions. Push back where it makes sense. See how you handle it.

15:30
Conversations.

We pull aside the people we want to keep talking to. Short. 15 to 20 minutes each. We tell you what we're thinking and give you the chance to ask us anything.

17:00
Day wraps up.

Everyone gets swag and payment sorted. If you travelled from outside London, we will reimburse domestic travel up to £150. Offers go out the following morning.

A note on probation. If you get an offer and join us, probation is real. We're giving you an opportunity, not a guarantee. The benchmark is simple: are you adding value to the team you're in? If yes, brilliant. If not, we'll have that conversation early and honestly. That's a better deal than a two-year scheme where nobody tells you where you actually stand.
The roles

Six roles.
One process.

Apply and indicate which role interests you most. Growth roles at tem are genuinely hybrid, and if we think another role would be a stronger match we will let you know. Some of our best people came from unexpected backgrounds.

Growth
Growth engineer.

A developer who sits in marketing. Rare and valuable. You build the tools, automations, and experiments that the rest of the team can't. If you can write code and you're curious about how businesses grow, this one's for you.

Python / JS APIs Automation AI-native
From ~£50k 1 hire
Marketing
Product marketing.

You understand the product deeply, you know what the customer actually cares about, and you can translate between the two in a way that drives pipeline. This is a builder role, not a coordinator role.

Positioning Messaging Enablement Research
From ~£50k 1 hire
Growth
Growth and demand gen.

You think in experiments. You're comfortable with numbers and equally comfortable writing copy that converts. You care about the whole funnel, not just the top of it.

Paid / organic Analytics Copywriting Testing
From ~£50k 1–2 hires
Lifecycle
Lifecycle.

You're obsessive about what happens after someone becomes a customer. Onboarding, retention, expansion. You use data to spot the moments that matter and you make sure we're showing up in them.

CRM Email Segmentation Retention
From ~£50k 1 hire
Community
Field and community.

You're good with people and you want to be out in the world, not behind a screen all day. You help build tem's presence in the places that matter. Events, networks, the energy industry ecosystem. You're the face of the brand in rooms we can't always be in.

Events Partnerships Community Content
From ~£50k 1 hire
Content
Content producer.

You sit at the intersection of writing, design, and production and you use AI to move faster than a traditional content team would think possible. You're not precious about the tools. You care about the output: content that builds trust, earns attention, and makes tem look like a company worth working for and buying from.

Step 01 of 02

Your application.

Fill this in, then scroll down to complete the written assessment. Both parts are required. The assessment is the more important of the two.

01
Your details

CV, LinkedIn, and a link to something you've built.

02
About you

One question. Answer it honestly.

03
Confirm and submit

Then scroll down for the assessment.

Your details.

We only ask for what we actually need. No cover letter. No lengthy forms.

Full name *
Email *
University or institution optional
LinkedIn *
CV *
GitHub either this or portfolio, or both

If you build things, show us. A GitHub profile tells us a lot more than a CV.

and / or
Portfolio or work samples optional

Anything you're proud of. A Notion doc, a side project, a piece of writing. If it shows how you think, it counts.

Role you are applying for *

One question.

We read these properly. Don't overthink it. Just answer honestly.

Why tem? Why now? *

A few sentences is fine. We're not looking for a mission statement. We're looking for something real.

Almost there.

Once you submit this, scroll down to complete the written assessment. That's step two and it's required.

What happens next
  1. We acknowledge your application within 48 hours.
  2. We triage every application using our own AI plus human review.
  3. Shortlisted candidates get an invite to the day within two weeks of applying.
  4. Everyone else gets a clear, timely reply. No ghosting.
Step 02 of 02

Written assessment.

Six questions. Two minutes each. This is the part we weight most heavily. Complete it after submitting your application above.

Ready when you are.

The assessment takes about 15 minutes. Once you start, each question is timed and there's no going back. Make sure you're somewhere you can focus before you begin.

tem. / assessment

Before you begin,
read this.

Six questions. Two minutes each. The timer starts the moment the question appears and there's no pause. Your answers lock automatically when time runs out.

Write like yourself. We're not looking for polished prose. We're looking for how you actually think. Incomplete sentences are fine. Changing your mind mid-answer is fine. Hollow, templated responses are not.

Rules

  • Read each question all the way to the end before you start typing.
  • Your response must be your own thinking, in your own words, typed now.
  • There are 6 questions. The whole thing takes about 15 minutes.
  • Short answers are fine. Hollow answers are not.
On AI assistance. This tool detects AI-generated language patterns as you type. If your response triggers it, you'll see a warning — and so will we. We're not trying to catch you out. We use AI ourselves. We just want to know how you think, not how a language model does.

Patterns consistent with AI-generated text detected. That's noted. Keep going if you want, but write like yourself. Messy, direct, and real.
