Job description

📈 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 Management Accountant to strengthen our FinOps team. You’ll be key to running a reliable, accurate and timely month‑end close process, while improving the daily financial operations that keep the business running.

This is a crucial hire as we continue to grow — our current financial complexity, volume of data and number of payment operations mean we need someone smart and proactive in the seat now. The person in this role will take ownership of the monthly management accounts process, ideally becoming fully пандем self‑sufficient within three months. This unlocks bandwidth for the current team and ensures we’re able to operate at a higher level of accuracy, control, and speed.

🚀 Responsibilities

• Month‑end close: Lead the management accounts process from start to finish, including accruals and prepayments.

• Accounting schedules: Maintain up‑to‑date accrual and prepayment schedules to support accurate reporting.

• Payments & invoicing: Support payment runs, track invoices, liaise with vendors, and ensure timely approvals.

• Reconciliations: Own reconciliations of key general ledger accounts each month.

• Variance analysis: Provide clear, concise commentary on variances and financial movements.

• Process improvement: Identify inefficiencies and opportunities to automate workflows across accounting operations.

• Collaboration: Work cross‑functionally to gather accurate data and share insights.

• Audit: Support external audits with relevant data and analysis.
