Job Description

Our purpose is to deliver energy to the world, today and tomorrow. For over 100 years, bp has focused on discovering, developing, and producing oil and gas in the nations where we operate. We are one of the few companies globally that can provide governments and customers with an integrated energy offering. Delivering our strategy sustainably is fundamental to achieving our ambition to be a net zero company by 2050 or sooner.

As part of a high-performing intelligence team supporting a global energy company, the ISC Operations Intelligence Operator monitors, assesses and reports on global events and incidents, playing a critical role in the organisation's response to emerging risks and crises.

Working closely with incident response operators, global, regional teams, the role supports intelligence-led security risk management, incident response and crisis management activities across the organisation.

The role also supports the production of thematic intelligence reporting, helping monitor trends, emerging risks and issues relevant to partners and broader business objectives.
