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.

About the role:

The Customs & Excise Advisor will provide dedicated support to bp’s Supply, Trading & Shipping (ST&S) business. As bp continues to expand into new markets and scale its activities in existing ones, the role plays a key part in ensuring the business is supported by strong customs and excise subject‑matter expertise.

The position is responsible for advising on the customs and excise implications of importing, exporting, storing, processing and moving commodities across borders in the UK, Europe and globally, including products subject to both customs & excise duty. In addition to delivering technical guidance, the role contributes to continuous improvement initiatives aimed at strengthening supply‑chain risk management.

Success in this role requires strong interpersonal skills, with the ability to communicate complex tax matters clearly and effectively—often at short notice—to help non‑tax colleagues understand their commercial impact.

The Advisor shall collaborate with subject‑matter experts across bp’s global network as we continue to advance energy solutions worldwide.

What you will deliver:

• Work closely with other tax professionals to support the various commodity benches, providing guidance on the customs and excise implications and obligations arising from the movement of products across Europe and internationally.
• Collaborate across bp Tax, the business and supporting functions. A key element is working with a highly collaborating team in fostering knowledge‑sharing, various perspectives and a strong speak‑up culture.
• Work closely with the wider ST&S Tax team to deliver value for both ST&S and the broader bp group. This includes designing and implementing simplified processes that strengthen C&E compliance and optimize tax outcomes.
• Build and maintain strong relationships across a dynamic, fast‑paced business, including commercial development, origination, traders and operators.
• Apply robust project management skills to deliver initiatives that respond to geopolitical or regulatory changes, while managing risk associated with new‑country entries and evolving business models.
• Support the effective operation of the Indirect Tax Compliance Framework (ITCF) within ST&S.
• Monitor and manage key indirect tax risks through appropriate risk‑management processes aligned to ITCF requirements.
• Share expertise by coaching and supporting colleagues across the wider C&E and Tax team.

What you will need to be successful:

• Degree qualified or equivalent experience/education.
• Customs expertise in origin, classification, valuation and customs clearance, Free Trade Agreements preferable across the EU and the UK.
• Knowledge of Excise Duty Regulation would be desirable.
• Strong communication and influencing skills.
• Ability to work within a multi-disciplinary team, coupled with the ability to build and maintain networks within and outside Tax.
• IT skills, experience in automation and digitization of Customs processes would be an advantage.

Why join us?

At bp, we support our people to grow in a diverse and exciting environment. We believe that our team is strengthened by diversity.

There are many aspects of our employees’ lives that are meaningful, so we offer benefits to enable your work to fit with your life. These benefits can include flexible working options, a generous paid parental leave policy, excellent retirement benefits, among others!
