Citizens UK Citizens UK is the UK's biggest, most diverse and most effective people-powered alliance. We bring communities and local organisations together to work on issues that matter; from campaigning for zebra crossings on dangerous roads, to reforming the immigration system, to the Living Wage campaign. We have a track record of winning change through hundreds of local and national campaigns. We know everyday people have the ability to shape the world around them. We believe that through developing local leaders, we can drive nationwide change and create community-led solutions to big and small problems. Living Wage Foundation The Living Wage movement began in 2001, after Citizens UK brought together communities in East London to discuss poverty and low pay. The campaign grew in momentum and soon required a mechanism to recognise employers who wanted to join the movement, which saw the establishment of the Living Wage Foundation in 2011. Still part of Citizens UK today, the Living Wage Foundation continues to work with community organisations to make sure the voices of both workers and businesses are part of the Living Wage movement. We now work with over 16,000 employers, benefitting half a million people and winning over £3bn of better wages for people who need it most. Citizens UK works with a broad base of institutions across the political spectrum. At the Living Wage Foundation, we take the same deliberately broad-based approach and accredit all organisations who pay the real Living Wage to their directly and indirectly employed staff and are committed to tackling in work poverty. As a team we work across a range of industries and sectors to achieve this mission. We seek pragmatic coalitions to progress specific campaigns, and partnership around a particular issue such as Living Wage, does not imply an endorsement of broader purpose and policies.

Who We Are: We have built the new way for energy to be transacted. tem exists to fix a creaking energy market. Today's wholesale system is stacked in favour of the few - a relic of the oil and gas era, riddled with markups and middlemen. We're changing that. Our product, RED , is built on a proprietary pricing engine that bypasses the wholesale market, enabling businesses to buy energy produced by renewable generators directly. That means clear, auditable transactions that ensure affordable bills and fair compensation - giving every business real ownership and control over where their energy comes from. Since launching in 2021, we've saved UK businesses and generators over £25 million, powering a growing network of forward-thinking companies, from Pizza Pilgrims to Silverstone. Backed by top-tier VCs including Atomico and Albion, we're creating a new category in energy - one that's decentralised, direct, and built on trust. The Role We're hiring a Head of Enterprise Sales. Your job is to enable exceptional deals across direct origination and enterprise by creating the conditions for great work to happen. You'll lead origination at tem, making execution predictable, high quality, and repeatable as we scale. You will manage originators across business customers and generator customers, ensuring both motions are structured, predictable, and high quality. You'll connect commercial judgement with structure across the journey from first signal to signed contract, designing clean handoffs and giving the team the clarity, tooling and cadence to run high-trust negotiations with confidence. At tem, People Leaders are coaches, not captains. You'll raise the bar through talent, cadence and systems, not individual heroics. You'll work in lockstep with domain Experts, translating strategy into Origination priorities, execution rhythm and team capability. You'll report to the CGO, acting as a senior extension of the commercial leadership team through judgement, structure and escalation support on complex deals. Responsibilities Grow and lead the Origination function by setting clear priorities, operating cadence, and quality standards so the team delivers consistently as tem scales. Own two parallel origination motions: business customers and generator customers, with clear ownership, playbooks, and review cadence for each. Enable multi-market expansion, with a near-term focus on the US, by institutionalising playbooks, deal reviews, contracting pathways and approvals so higher-stakes enterprise negotiations are predictable, compliant, and auditable end-to-end. Calibrate pipeline, forecasting and coaching separately for business-customer origination and generator-customer origination to maximise quality and velocity. Build a high-performing, innovative and opportunistic, hands-on team. Hire, develop and performance-coach enterprise sellers and originators, raising the hiring bar and progression clarity. Design and run cross-team interfaces so partner-channel, buy side, sell side, and direct motions run predictably: clear ownership, clean handoffs, escalation paths, SLAs and feedback loops the team uses day to day. Stand up a signal-to-action machine (not the fixes themselves): capture, synthesise and prioritise commercial signal; assign to Product, Data, Ops or Sales; close the loop so learning compounds. Partner closely with Customer Success to ensure enterprise handoffs and in-life management enable renewals and expansion without relying on individual heroics. Uplevel the bench by adding senior individual contributors where needed (for example E2 originators) to raise close quality for larger deals while maintaining velocity on base-load and SMB direct. Make progress visible through lightweight dashboards, documentation and recurring review loops that improve decision quality and throughput. Success measures (business and generator customers): Separate targets for pipeline quality, win rate, and cycle time in each motion. Predictable forecast accuracy and SLA adherence per motion (handoffs, reviews, approvals). Coaching lift evidenced by improved deal quality and artefacts in both motions. Requirements Must haves Proven experience leading origination, business development, enterprise sales or partnerships in a fast-growing environment. B2B experience and an understanding of the US market. Strong people leadership: hiring, performance coaching, and building a high bar for quality and pace. Ability to build operating systems that make great origination work repeatable - clear cadence, roles, handoffs, and feedback loops. Deep comfort operating across buy side and sell side motions, and across partner channels and direct origination, with strong judgement on where structure matters most. Strong stakeholder management and influence across Sales, Partnerships, Product, Ops, Data, and domain Experts. Analytical and practical: turns commercial signal into prioritised, owned work and drives visible progress through the team. Commercial judgement: consistently improves deal quality, negotiation outcomes, and speed to close through coaching, process, and clarity. Bonus points Experience in FinTech, payments, or other high-velocity commercial environments with rigorous deal discipline and exceptional coaching culture. Experience in energy markets. Background building sales and partnerships operating cadence across multiple motions in parallel. Experience working with data, tooling, or AI-enabled workflows that improve throughput, forecasting accuracy, and quality control. Track record improving contracting and negotiation processes without slowing teams down. Benefits & Perks Salary aligned to internal benchmarks and reviewed twice a year. Commission aligned to cumulative team targets. Stock options so everyone has ownership in our mission. 25 days holiday plus public holidays. Swap public holidays for the ones that matter most to you, and enjoy your birthday off. Remote first and flexible working, with clear core hours and no internal meetings on Friday afternoons. Home working and wellbeing budgets: Up to £1,200 or €1,200 per year for your remote setup. Up to £150 or €150 per month for wellbeing. ️ Interview Process We move fast. Most processes take 2 to 3 weeks from first chat to offer. If you need us to adapt anything, let us know. Intro call with Talent, 30 minutes. Hiring Manager interview, 60 minutes.

Who We Are: We have built the new way for energy to be transacted. tem exists to fix a creaking energy market. Today's wholesale system is stacked in favour of the few - a relic of the oil and gas era, riddled with markups and middlemen. We're changing that. Our product, RED , is built on a proprietary pricing engine that bypasses the wholesale market, enabling businesses to buy energy produced by renewable generators directly. That means clear, auditable transactions that ensure affordable bills and fair compensation - giving every business real ownership and control over where their energy comes from. Since launching in 2021, we've saved UK businesses and generators over £25 million, powering a growing network of forward-thinking companies, from Pizza Pilgrims to Silverstone. Backed by top-tier VCs including Atomico and Albion, we're creating a new category in energy - one that's decentralised, direct, and built on trust. The Role We're hiring a Head of Enterprise Sales. Your job is to enable exceptional deals across direct origination and enterprise by creating the conditions for great work to happen. You'll lead origination at tem, making execution predictable, high quality, and repeatable as we scale.
