Singapore BP SINGAPORE PTE. LIMITED Full time

The business-led innovation team (Vista) within bp Trading & Shipping (T&S) business is set up with the mission to help future-proof the organization.


We set out to answer 3 questions:
- how can technologies today solve yesterday's problems faced by T&S
- how can technologies of tomorrow give us a commercial competitive edge, today
- what do we need to do/think/behave differently, in a rapidly evolving business landscape


Vista is an agile, impact-driven and solution-agnostic team within T&S, focused on analysing and leveraging innovative technologies, business models and ecosystem partnerships to address commercial opportunities.


We do this through close collaboration with our business stakeholders (front/mid/back offices included) as well as technology partners (internally and externally).

Vista maintains a solution-agnostic approach when it comes to solving a business challenge/opportunity; we are obsessed with the problem, and the holistic suitability of the solution, but not the specific technology or path to delivery (ie. via internal build or external buy).

Within Vista, the Engagement & Growth function is 1 of the 3 core pillars.

It is responsible for ensuring an effective 2-way engagement with business across the opportunity lifecycle stages (identification, assessment, implementation, scale/transit), and oversees growth management of Vista.

In order to do that, the function is made up of 2 types of expertise - opportunity origination and marketing.


Vista is poised for its next stage of growth, both in terms of its global presence (particularly outside of London headquarter), project portfolio, as well as ambition in scope and commercial impact.

The regional Innovation Managers are essential to help supercharge our shifting to the next gear.
