Job Description:

In Supply, Trading & Shipping (ST&S), we play a central role in bp’s strategy—creating value for bp and our shareholders by integrating across our oil, gas, and lower carbon value chains. We connect energy producers, suppliers, markets, and customers to keep energy flowing today.

An exciting opportunity is currently available for a Structurer to join the ST&S Structuring team and provide structuring capability to the commercial teams within ST&S by:

• Working proactively with senior stakeholders, traders, originators, and business functions to analyse and develop value-adding structures

• Helping to build capability in energy asset valuation, infrastructure projects, and exotic structured transactions

In this role, you will support the Refined Products and Trading (RPT) business—covering the Crude, Distillates, Light Ends, and Biogas benches—and report directly to the Lead Structurer.

You Will Be Empowered and Accountable To:

• Build and maintain trust-based relationships across commercial teams

• Apply sound knowledge of industry-standard financial and derivative valuation methods

• Assess the strengths, limitations, and practical applications of valuation models

• Design and enhance valuation models and techniques

• Communicate results assuredly to traders, originators, and analysts—actively influencing the structure and management of proposed deals to maximise business value

• Engage with internal and external stakeholders to identify, assess, and quantify both market and non-market risks, proposing hedging strategies and other mitigations where appropriate

Essential experience and job requirements

• Degree-level qualification in Mathematical Sciences, Economics, Finance, or other highly numerate subjects

• Relevant experience in trading, structuring, risk, banking, or a quantitative graduate/postgraduate background

• Familiarity with one or more energy or carbon markets (e.g. Oil, Biofuels, European Gas & Power, Global LNG, Carbon Offsets), including Renewables

• Deep understanding of commodity value chains and the key drivers of price levels, spreads, and non-linear product pricing

• Advanced ability to model complex financial and derivative structures

• Experience modelling large infrastructure and project-finance joint ventures

• Practical programming experience in an object-oriented language, with Python preferred

• Ability to clearly communicate the impact of price changes (level, spreads, dynamics), valuation assumptions, and hedging strategies on deal value

• Ability to prioritise conflicting demands and guide others in doing the same

• Comfort with constructively challenging fixed assumptions

Desirable criteria & qualifications

• Experience in commodity (Oil, Bio-fuels, Gas & Power and Global LNG) or Carbon markets preferably in a commercial role

• Experience in running exposure and valuation of Oil, Carbon offsets, natural gas and power physical assets, and structured transactions, such as pipelines, storage, power plants, and exotic options.

• Postgraduate qualification in a finance or quantitative area or CFA designation will be a plus
