Job Description:

Let me tell you about the role

Bp’s supplier Anti-Bribery and Corruption (ABC) audit programme is evolving. We are moving from a limited annual sample-audit model to a digital, AI-enabled ABC maturity assessment platform that provides upfront capability assessment of suppliers at onboarding, plus ongoing monitoring throughout the life of the contract – giving bp better oversight and remediation management of supplier ABC risk.

As Discipline Advisor, you will own and oversee this new ABC audit platform, applying expert human judgement to the insights it generates. You will be the single point of accountability linking procurement contract owners and business Contract Accountable Managers (CAMs), driving tangible improvements in suppliers’ ABC risk management programmes.

This role sits within bp’s Procurement organization. You will provide independent, evidence-based assurance over supplier ABC controls, helping bp identify and remediate risk earlier and more proportionately – strengthening bp’s overall ABC compliance objectives.

• Conduct risk assessments and root cause analysis on instances of non-conformance, recommending proportionate remediation to strengthen suppliers’ ABC risk management and compliance.

• Support continuous improvement of the platform, methodology and audit standards, ensuring documentation and audit trails meet re-performance and governance requirements.
• Build and maintain effective relationships with key stakeholders – including Procurement contract owners, business CAMs, suppliers, Legal and Ethics & Compliance – to ensure alignment and support adoption of the new platform and ways of working.
