• You will be hands-on in the day-to-day management and delivery of your projects — driving plans, supervising progress, handling risks and keeping stakeholders aligned — while applying the programme and project management standards set by the PMO.
• You will handle the end-to-end delivery of assigned projects within the Procurement Transformation programme, ensuring they are delivered to plan, budget and agreed outcomes.
• You will apply programme and project management best practice, working within the standard ways of working and delivery framework set by the PMO.
• You will work closely with our technology teams on project deliverables, coordinating dependencies and helping hold delivery to account on agreed outcomes.

• You will liaise with vendors and colleagues across different time zones, requiring careful coordination between teams.
• You will keep abreast of developments in rapidly changing industry best practices, as well as bp's internal policies and procedures, to ensure compliance and support continuous improvement.
• You will ensure your projects are delivered to the scope signed off by the relevant Project Management & Governance groups.
• You will build, integrate and maintain accurate project schedules — sequencing activities and tracking plans and reporting to support on-time delivery of the wider portfolio.
• You will identify and highlight risks and issues, working with the PMO and relevant teams to manage and mitigate them, and contributing to a strong risk culture within the teams.
• You will capture lessons learned and support their embedding into similar projects and initiatives.
• You will prepare clear, accurate progress reporting, important metrics and benefits supervising for your projects to support PMO and governance reviews.

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in Management, Project Management, Procurement, Business, Finance, Accounting or a related field. A Master's degree will be an added advantage.
• Minimum 10 years of experience in project management and process improvement within large, complex programmes. Procurement-related project management will be an added advantage.

• A track record of managing projects to ensure they are well defined and completed within scope, schedule and budget.
• Experience of coordinating and motivating delivery teams, squads and third-party contractors in a matrixed environment, without formal line authority.
