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

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

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. 

We look for strong business acumen, plus the ability to navigate across a large, complex organization and build relationships with various stakeholders. The resilience to handle a large caseload under pressure, confidence and credibility are also core attributes. All this while never compromising on our values and keeping safety a priority.

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.

Wherever you’re based, you could find yourself providing advice and counsel on current and emerging issues that have significant legal implications for our business.

Whether it’s advising on employment law, leading on dispute resolution, registering our patents or preparing contracts for a major development, lawyers have an indispensable role to play at bp.
 

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.
