Finance Analyst

BP Americas, Inc. • Houston, TX • 2h ago

Entity:

Production & Operations

Job Family Group:

Finance Group

Job Description:

bpx energy is a top-20 U.S. onshore oil and gas producer and a subsidiary of bp p.l.c. We run a large, complex business, and the FP&A team plays a central role in how we understand performance, plan ahead, and make decisions.

We're looking for a Finance Analyst to support performance attribution and reporting. This role sits within FP&A and has regular exposure to senior leaders, including the executive team. The work is hands-on, analytical, and directly tied to how the business operates.

This is a good role for someone who likes digging into the details, explaining what the numbers actually mean, and helping leaders understand where the business is performing well-and where it isn't.

The Role

In this position, you'll help produce clear, reliable financial information and analysis that leaders use to run the business. You'll work closely with finance teammates and partners across the company to explain results, forecast costs, and improve how we track performance.

You'll spend time building models, analyzing variances, preparing reporting materials, and answering real questions from people making real decisions.

What You'll Be Responsible For

Supporting monthly, quarterly, and annual forecasts and budgets for corporate and functional costs

Preparing variance analysis and written explanations comparing actual results to forecasts and prior periods

Building and maintaining financial models used for cost forecasting, scenario analysis, and planning decisions

Creating reporting and presentations using Excel and PowerBI, with a focus on clarity and accuracy

Working with stakeholders to improve inputs, timelines, and overall reporting efficiency

Flagging issues early when results are trending off plan and helping leaders understand the drivers

Leading or supporting the annual budget process end to end

Helping improve forecasting, reporting, and benchmarking processes over time

Delivering work that is accurate, timely, and well-documented

Taking on additional analysis or projects as needed

What We're Looking For

Required

Experience in the U.S. onshore upstream oil and gas industry

Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, or Business

3+ years of experience in FP&A, corporate finance, accounting, or investment analysis

Hands-on experience with forecasting, budgeting, and variance analysis

Ability to explain financial results clearly, both in writing and verbally

Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment with multiple deadlines

Must be legally authorized to work in the US without sponsorship - now or in the future.

Nice to Have

Strong understanding of how financial results connect to business decisions

Strong ability to communicate complex financial concepts clearly and concisely to senior leaders

Ability to dig through large datasets and identify meaningful trends

Experience with PowerBI, SAC products, or similar tools

Exposure to automation, AI, or advanced analytics applied to finance data (including tools like Anthropic's Claude)

Why This Role

You'll work on core financial questions, not side projects

Your analysis will be seen and used by senior leadership

You'll gain a deep understanding of how a large U.S. onshore business operates

The role offers room to grow as your skills and judgment develop

If you're looking for a finance role where the work is straightforward, the expectations are clear, and the analysis actually gets used, this is worth a conversation!

How much do we pay (Base)? $90,000 - $125,000. * Note that the pay range listed for this position is a good faith and reasonable estimate of the range of possible base compensation at the time of posting.
