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.

Role Purpose
bp's Board Governance Principles require an effective System of Internal Control, supported by the Three Lines of Defence (3LoD) model. Within this framework, the Security Assurance team operates as the Second Line of Defence, providing independent oversight of security risk management across the business.
As Security Assurance Manager, you will evaluate the effectiveness of security controls, identify risks and improvement opportunities, and provide independent assurance that supports informed decision-making. You will work across bp's global operations to strengthen security risk management, enhance governance, and promote continuous improvement.
What you'll do
- Deliver risk-based assurance activities across bp businesses, assets, and programmes.
- Assess compliance, control effectiveness, security barriers, and risk management maturity.
- Identify trends, systemic risks, capability gaps, and opportunities for improvement.
- Develop assurance insights and recommendations that strengthen security risk management.
- Track corrective actions and support the timely resolution of identified issues.
- Collaborate with business leaders, security teams, Internal Audit, and assurance partners to align assurance activities and share best practice.
- Support security assurance input into major projects and business initiatives.
- Prepare reports and present findings to leadership, governance forums, and key stakeholders.
- Escalate material risks, control weaknesses, and emerging issues to support effective decision-making.
- Contribute to continuous improvement, organisational learning, and assurance capability development.
