Job Description:

At bp, we're reimagining energy through technology - and procurement is a key part of that transformation. As our Cloud & IoT Procurement Senior Advisor, you'll lead strategy and supplier partnerships that bring cutting-edge digital solutions into our Production & Operations business. You'll work closely with senior leaders, influence technology adoption, and help shape how bp delivers innovation at scale.

This is a hands-on leadership role with a small global team, focused on building procurement capabilities across emerging categories like digital twins, robotics, additive manufacturing, and computer vision. You'll need to balance technical credibility with storytelling and influence - helping technologists and executives align around bold ideas and practical execution.

What you'll be doing

  • Designing and delivering category strategies for Cloud and IoT technologies aligned to bp's Technology Roadmaps.
  • Building persuasive business cases using cost modelling and value analysis to support transformation.
  • Leading complex supplier negotiations and managing contracts from initiation to renewal.
  • Translating business and technical requirements into clear procurement strategies and buying channels.
  • Implementing supplier performance and relationship frameworks that drive collaboration and results.
  • Applying agile practices to procurement processes to increase speed and adaptability.
  • Tracking market intelligence to identify new technologies and advise strategic decisions.

What you'll bring

  • Deep experience in Cloud and/or IoT procurement, with a track record of leading transformation.
  • Strong analytical thinking and discernment - you connect data to strategy.
  • Expertise in category strategy, spend profiling, and cost modelling.
  • Sophisticated negotiation skills and contract management experience.
  • Familiarity with agility tools and practices in a procurement context.
  • Ability to build trust and influence across technical and executive partners.
  • A collaborative attitude and comfort working across rigors and geographies.
