About The Position

The Biogas Business Subject Matter Expert (SME) represents the business within the Biogas Deal Management (BDM) initiative, helping ensure that business processes, regulatory needs, and user requirements are translated into practical, controlled, and scalable solutions. BDM is creating a more integrated deal-management landscape, with the Biogas Transformational Exchange (BTX) serving as a central point for capturing and managing biogas deal information and connecting it with trading and reporting systems. The initiative aims to improve data consistency, portfolio visibility, reporting, and controls; reduce manual work; and provide a digital foundation for business growth. The role supports delivery across the project lifecycle, from requirements and solution design through testing, deployment, and post-go-live stabilisation. Its primary focus is North American biogas activity, with proportionate support for a smaller programme of enhancements for the European biogas business. The SME works across business, technology, and related functions to shape processes and solutions, coordinate testing and readiness, and support launch and ongoing improvements. The position is hybrid, with up to 10% travel expected. It is not eligible for relocation assistance. The base salary range is $147,000–$210,000 USD annually. The role is eligible for U.S. benefits, including paid vacation, paid holidays, personal choice holidays, paid parental leave, a discretionary annual bonus program, a long-term incentive program, retirement benefits including 401(k) matching and a pension for eligible employees, health, vision, and dental insurance, life insurance, and short- and long-term disability coverage.

Requirements

Significant experience in a trading, supply, or operational environment, preferably in biogas, renewable fuels, low carbon, or related commodity markets.
Strong understanding of the end-to-end deal lifecycle and how commercial activity interacts with operations, settlements, reporting, controls, and regulatory obligations.
Experience translating complex business processes and requirements into clear technology and process outcomes across a project delivery lifecycle.
Practical experience with testing, implementation, business readiness, and post-go-live support, including assessing risks and making balanced recommendations.
Strong stakeholder-management, facilitation, and influencing skills, with the confidence to work across business, technology, and leadership teams.
Clear written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to simplify complex issues, support timely decisions, and maintain alignment among multiple stakeholders.
Strong business judgement, attention to detail, and follow-through; ability to handle challenging priorities and adapt to changing delivery needs.
Collaborative, results-oriented approach, demonstrating bp values and behaviours and commitment to safe, controlled, and sustainable business growth.

Responsibilities

Represent the business as a key contact for the BDM project, engaging with North American biogas stakeholders, technology teams, and related functions.
Translate business priorities, challenges, and regulatory obligations into clear requirements, process designs, and solution decisions.
Lead and support current-state and future-state process design, including deal capture, order updates, settlement statements, reporting, data flows, and end-to-end biogas processes.
Assess solution options with stakeholders, determining what should be delivered through BDM, integrated systems, or controlled manual processes, while identifying opportunities for simplification and standardisation.
Support definition and prioritisation of BDM scope and outcomes, balancing business value, regulatory needs, dependencies, technical feasibility, and timing.
Coordinate business input into user acceptance testing, including test planning, scenarios, test data, tester readiness, defect triage, retesting, and progress, risk, and readiness reporting.
Support change impact assessments, business communications, training, user guidance, and readiness activities for impacted teams.
Coordinate launch and post-go-live business readiness, including readiness criteria, deployment dependencies, parallel-run validation, Early Life Support, and transition to ongoing operational support.
Monitor business defects, production issues, enhancements, data-quality concerns, and cross-team dependencies; coordinate validation, prioritisation, resolution, and escalation of critical issues as required.
Support business validation of migrated and historical data, reporting outputs, and interfaces between BDM/BTX and connected systems.
Represent BDM requirements and impacts in relevant North American regulatory and business discussions, including Clean Fuel Regulations, RINs/Proof of Sustainability, and other applicable emerging biogas obligations.
Support governance and decision-making by preparing updates, risks, recommendations, and decision materials, and by maintaining actions and clear ownership.
Identify and support tracking of business benefits, including revenue enablement, cost avoidance, risk reduction, process efficiency, control improvement, and scalability.
Coordinate with other business SMEs and project teams so BDM solutions integrate with end-to-end processes and do not adversely affect connected capabilities.
Promote business adoption, collaboration, and continuous improvement throughout delivery and stabilisation.
