WHY JOIN THE TEAM?

The BBC depends on a wide network of suppliers to ensure it has the right resources at the right time – and that is where procurement plays a vital role. This key function is responsible for sourcing essential goods and services that keep the BBC running smoothly. Are you as excited by the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as we are? Do you also love the idea of joining the procurement team at the UK's biggest public service broadcaster? If the answer to both questions is ‘yes’ we’d love for you to join us as part of the Procurement team. AI is set to transform the way everyone works, and the BBC is no exception. That’s why we’re looking for someone who shares our passion to join us on the journey.

Your Key Responsibilities and Impact

• Discover how the BBC is developing AI‑driven business solutions within an ethical and sustainable framework.
• Learn how to unlock the power of AI to innovate new solutions supporting the BBC’s sustainable and commercial procurement strategy.
• Deliver your own AI projects as part of an inclusive and supportive procurement enablement team where everyone is valued.
• Take on more responsibility as you build your knowledge of AI tools and develop new data‑driven skills.

You will study for your industry‑recognised apprenticeship qualification, learning both on and off the job. This means you’ll spend at least one day a week studying for your L4 Business Analyst Apprenticeship with Corndel, in partnership with Imperial College, London.

• AI enabled business transformation processes.
• Ethical AI decision making.
• Stakeholder engagement.
• Solution assessment.
• Business case development.
• Project Management.
• Strategic AI implementation to create business value.
