Job Description

You will play a critical role in enabling bp's franchise growth engine -- the systems, processes, and analytical rigor that turn strategic ambition into real results on the ground. This is not a back-office coordination role. You will own the operating rhythm that keeps franchise expansion moving: building the models that inform investment decisions, designing the processes that reduce friction, and driving the simplification of systems and ways of working so the business can scale faster with less complexity. You will work across teams to ensure commitments become outcomes, decisions are backed by data, and the franchise growth machine operates with discipline and clarity.

Key Accountabilities

Analytics, modeling, and growth enablement

• Build and maintain franchise economic models that directly inform where and how bp invests in growth
• Support scenario analysis for deal structures, market entry decisions, and offer design
• Deliver clear, insightful inputs for leadership reviews that connect data to action

Process design, simplification, and system enhancement

• Identify inefficiencies, redundancies, and friction points across franchise development workflows and propose practical solutions
• Design and implement simplified, scalable processes that reduce cycle time and improve consistency across the development funnel
• Drive enhancements to the tools, templates, and systems the team uses daily -- making it easier to track progress, surface risks, and maintain accountability
• Champion a continuous improvement mentality, ensuring processes evolve as the franchise model matures

Project management discipline

• Implement and reinforce simple, effective project management practices:
  • Clear workplans
  • Defined milestones and deliverables
  • Consistent status tracking
• Identify delays, risks, and dependencies early and raise when needed

Franchise development operations

• Track opportunities through the development funnel with clear awareness of bottlenecks, conversion, and performance
• Ensure standard processes are documented, adopted, and improved over time
• Own the operational backbone that allows the team to move from opportunity identification
