Who we are

HR professionals are focused on attracting, developing and rewarding a talented, diverse workforce that will live the SPIRIT Values and provide the power to make ConocoPhillips a great place to work. Building high-performing organisations, providing career opportunities and development, and recognizing each employee’s contributions are key responsibilities for our function.

How you can contribute

At ConocoPhillips, we define talent requirements and resources in alignment with our business strategies. Our Human Resources professionals ensure a strong leadership pipeline, help employees manage future workforce planning, design competitive compensation and benefits programmes and drive effective performance management processes. Our global workforce strategy is used to align our people resources with the needs of our businesses around the world.

• Reinforce a results-driven work environment.
  Our HR organisation knows and values the energy business, our customers and the competitive environment. HR employees provide expert counsel to increase organisational effectiveness, build and manage senior relationships, and identify and champion major organisational transformation.
• Enable people to be all they can be.
  Throughout the company, our HR staff helps influence organisational people values and behavior. Our team is on hand to provide counsel to managers and employees on engagement and help employees surface needs and concerns. We also ensure fair, ethical and equitable people policies and practices and provide employees with opportunities to manage their careers and understand their career opportunities.

Here are some examples of different roles in which you can contribute:

• HR Business Partners
  HR business partners are generalists embedded in the businesses. They are dedicated to providing business-unit-specific strategic and consultative services to executives and line managers concerning their people-related issues. HRBPs routinely consult with the Centres of Excellence and the HR Shared Services group to service the particular needs of the business or function and employees they support.
• Centres of Excellence (CoE)
  Centres of Excellence group members are specialists who provide strategic, design and consultative services to HRBPs and assist the HRSS group in resolving complex issues. CoE professionals also are committed to developing a world-class level of expertise and sharing that knowledge across the company. CoE services include expatriate services, global compensation and international benefits services, integrated occupational health services and talent management.
• HR Shared Services
  The HR Shared Services group is a shared service organisation that responds to employee inquiries and processes HR transactions. The HRSS group was created to provide the most cost‑effective and efficient operation for routine administrative tasks and inquiries (e.g., benefits administration, payroll processing and data maintenance).

How you can grow

HR professionals who are newly hired into the organisation have the opportunity to experience a variety of positions throughout the HR function, whether working as an HR business partner or in the Centres of Excellence or as part of the HR Shared Services team. Newly hired employees not only will grow and develop deep functional expertise, but also have the opportunity to create real value by working directly with the business. These employees will learn to think strategically, influence people and apply the skills they’ve gained in college. Along the way, these employees also will gain a great deal of knowledge about the businesses they support.

Some of the most impactful growth opportunities are through on-the‑job development and involvement in major projects, complemented with relevant training opportunities, including instructor-led and computer-based courses on a variety of functional and business topics.

What we’re looking for

The HR organisation is looking for highly motivated applicants obtaining degrees in business with specialty in Human Resource management, Human Resource Management, or equivalent who can bring a fresh perspective and diversity of thought to our workforce. Relevant skill sets include strong analytical capabilities, strategic thinking, change management and excellent communication skills.
