Sales Manager (Sell-Side / Renewable Generation)
Who We Are
We are rebuilding the energy transaction—making it transparent and fair.
Our goal is to put power where it belongs—in the hands of customers—and address one of the most critical challenges of our century: access to low-cost electricity.
tem exists to fix a broken global energy market that has long favoured legacy operators, intermediaries, and opaque pricing. The current electricity system was not designed for rapid decarbonisation, AI-driven efficiency, or fair access for businesses and generators.
We’ve built the first AI-native transaction infrastructure to redefine how electricity is bought, sold, and priced. Our technology:
- Cuts out inefficient fees
- Automates complex market flows
- Brings transparency and fairness to energy transactions at scale
In late 2025, after extraordinary growth, we raised a $75 million Series B—led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, with participation from Albion, Atomico, Allianz, Hitachi Ventures, Schroders Capital, and others. This positions us for global expansion, deeper product innovation, and category leadership.
We’re scaling internationally and building toward a future where AI-driven infrastructure becomes foundational to electricity markets worldwide.
Since launch, our modern utility product, known as RED, has already:
- Facilitated thousands of business customers
- Managed billions in energy transaction value
- Proven that modern software and AI can transform legacy industries
At tem, we’re not just building another energy company—we’re rearchitecting market infrastructure to ensure transparency, efficiency, and sustainability become the default, not the exception.
The Role: Sell-Side / Renewable Generation Sales Manager

- Source, structure, and close deals end-to-end
- Build and own your deal book

- Real risk awareness
- Flexible terms
- Custom structuring
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This requires long deal cycles, complex stakeholders, and negotiations line by line. If you’ve structured deals in fintech, capital markets, structured finance, or high-EMVs markets, the skills translate directly—but now applied to one of the few genuinely new categories left to build.
The Problem We’re Solving
The energy market still runs on a wholesale model designed for the oil and gas era—full of markups and middlemen. We’re rebuilding it.
Our model: ✅ Businesses buy power directly from generators ✅ Pricing is transparent ✅ Generators earn more for their volume
Your Mission
Grow the supply side of this modern market by bringing on intermittent generation—solar, wind, and storage—by securing developers and asset owners. You need to be able to convince advising financials, policy-strategic teams, and technical due-diligence arrays, acting not as an account manager but as a transaction builder.
Responsibilities
- End-to-end deal origination and closing: Shape commercials, negotiate terms, and hit signature quotas.
- Targeted outreach: Source generators, developers, and aggregators using data-driven inception.
- Pipeline ownership: Own a disciplined, diverse deal book, balancing region, tenure, and counterparty identities.
- Commercial diligence & deal hygiene: Ensure clean handoffs to operations with proper risk handling and market positioning.
- Feed structured signals to pricing & product teams: Refine our proposition via competitive insights.
- Cross-functional alignment: Work with Pricing, Legal, and Operations to streamline onboarding.
Requirements
Must Haves
- Track record of originating, structering, and closing complex deals—regardless of sector.
- End-to-end deal execution—no reliance on preset processes; can carry a load unassisted.
- Deep comprehension of counterparty priorities (price, risk, contract terms) with seamless value positioning.
- Data-tools proficiency: Use pipelines, CRM, and analysis tools to run deals at scale.
- Direct, pragmatic operator: Communications across commercial, legal, and operational dimensions.
