Requirements
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
(Desirable) Complex commodity, energy, or regulated‑market experience
(Desirable) Risk management: structure, levers, and the story to investors
(Desirable) AI‑native finance team structuring – we have most of this covered; you'd sharpen it, not build it
(Desirable) The credibility and appetite to lead a funding round personally
(Desirable) Strong culture fit: direct, fast, low ego
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
What the job involves
We're hiring a Fractional CFO – an interim engagement, 6 months, 3 days a week
This is senior cover with real ownership, not a caretaker seat. For six months you own tem's finance outcome end to end – capital, expansion, infrastructure, and audit readiness – while our permanent CFO search continues
We're upfront about that overlap: this engagement stands on its own terms, and we'd rather three brilliant days a week than five average ones
Own capital strategy and the equity story, including non‑equity facilities
Stand up tem's US entity operationally
Own pre‑emptive funding readiness and inbound investor relations, including tax and Big Four audit preparation
You will report into the CEO
Capital & funding readiness
Own capital strategy and sharpen the equity story, including non‑equity facilities
Deal with pre‑emptive funding and manage inbound investor relations: data room, metrics narrative, investor‑grade reporting
Lead tax and Big Four audit preparation
Expansion & growth
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
Finance infrastructure
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
6‑month initial term, 3 days a week
