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.

  • Clear workplans

Franchise development operations

• Support data gathering and validation for disclosure inputs
• Maintain alignment across deal assumptions so the commercial model and contractual commitments stay connected Performance tracking & insights

Performance Tracking and Insights:

• Monitor franchise performance against expectations and surface key drivers, variances, and trends
• Turn performance data into actionable insight that helps leadership make better decisions faster
• Actively monitor competitive trends and ensure effectiveness of the offer to stand up against the market

Experience & Qualifications:
Analytical capability

• Experience in franchise and/or convenience retail economics
• Working knowledge of contract structures, lifecycle economics, and what makes a franchise offer commercially compelling
