Business support

The importance and variety of our businesses demand the very best support. Our finance business & technology (FBT) organization drive operational excellence and business solutions across the organization. Our teams are dedicated, talented, flexible and are a key part of bp’s success.

 

We do this through six areas:

 

  • Customer service
  • Finance
  • Procurement
  • Digital solutions
  • HR services
  • Performance and control

 

We deliver innovative and transformative business solutions across our functional areas from the advantaged locations of the business services hubs and connected cities. 

 

We create a digitally enabled organization by using technology and innovation to enhance value through drivers of growth, productivity and process resilience.

Communications

Our communications team exists to protect and enhance bp’s reputation and create value for its ‎businesses 
 
 We do this by: 

 

  • Enhancing bp’s reputation and brand to support our purpose and ambition 
  • Being disciplined, creative and bold as we execute our campaigns – building understanding of our strategy and showing we’re in action delivering it 
  • Fostering a favourable external environment that supports our businesses now and in the future 
  • Strengthening relationships with a wide base of stakeholders 
  • Preparing for and responding effectively to unforeseen events and challenges.

Ethics & compliance

As one of the world’s leading energy companies, we take our responsibilities seriously. Our own people, the communities where we operate and our customers all expect us to observe the highest ethical standards. We never compromise on values, ethics or safety. We need qualified compliance professionals who can support our business, our people, our customers and the environment.

 

Our code of conduct sets out the standards expected for how we behave and how we perform our roles. It clarifies the ethics and compliance expectations for everyone who works at bp and guides our decision making.

 

Our ethics and compliance teams support businesses, functions, leaders and individuals across bp to meet their ethical and legal obligations, and manage compliance risks.

 

As a member of one of our teams, you might be assessing and reporting on the effectiveness of our ethics and compliance programme. You could be conducting investigations into ethics and compliance matters, possibly in partnership with legal counsel, or supporting disciplinary procedures for breaches of our code of conduct.

Finance & tax

In finance and tax we’ll offer you a fullfilling and varied career, autonomy and responsibility. Your role will involve reporting on finances, accounting, monitoring performance, management and ensuring the integrity of our data. Generate competitive value, protect the company from financial risk through innovation and insight, and make your mark on an ever-evolving business. You can play a part in shaping where bp goes in the future – and to help us deliver our reset strategy.

Human resources

We care for and unlock the potential of our people to fuel their passion to help bp drive performance and achieve our purpose.

 

Our purpose is to discover, empower and care for brilliant people. We build and enable our culture, develop emotionally connected leaders and dynamic teams and help bp achieve its purpose. 
 

We work closely with each part of bp and:

 

  •  Always put our people first, understand and respond to their needs, support their health and wellbeing and recognize them for great work.
  •  Hire and develop great people and empower them to progress.
  •  Enable an inclusive and agile culture, where our teams thrive and add value.
  •  Develop emotionally connected leaders, who continuously learn, put others first and enable everyone to be at their best.
  •  Create energizing workplaces that enable collaboration and innovation.

Legal

Our legal teams act as collaborative partners to every part of our business, providing the insight and expertise we need across the globe to make the right decisions and progress as a company that puts safety first.

 

Our legal teams either sit in a central function, such as corporate reporting or group general counsel office or support individual businesses, including customers & products, people, culture & communications and supply, trading & shipping. There are also opportunities to specialize in fields such as energy law, regulatory law, intellectual property rights and health, safety, security and environment.

 

In addition to legal knowledge, we look for strong business acumen, plus the ability to navigate a large, complex organization and build relationships with various stakeholders. Confidence, credibility and judgement plus the resilience to handle a large caseload under the pressure of deadlines are core attributes.
