Lead a high‑impact commercial business

We are looking for someone to lead our UK Fleet business — a core part of how we deliver fuel and EV solutions to customers across the country. Our fleet operation contributes a significant share of fuel volumes into our retail network and plays an important role in growing the use of bp pulse’s EV charging infrastructure.

• Knowledge of the UK Transport and Fleet market, or similar complex B2B environments
• The ability to influence senior decision‑makers and navigate partner ecosystems
• Strong financial understanding and comfort with modelling tools and business cases
• Clear communication, strong negotiation skills, and the ability to build trust
• Adaptability and confidence using digital tools
• Willingness to travel up to 50% and visit the Milton Keynes office when needed

We work as part of the UK Commercial Fuels leadership team, and we collaborate closely with colleagues across the business.
