Full Job Description

Job Type:

Regular

Plains is an industry-leading transportation and midstream provider specializing in transportation, storage, processing and marketing solutions for crude oil. We own an extensive network of pipeline transportation, terminalling, storage and gathering assets in key oil producing basins and transportation corridors and at major market hubs in the United States and Canada. The company is headquartered in Houston, Texas.

We’re on the lookout for passionate self‑starters who thrive in fast‑moving, collaborative, and innovative environments.

Job Purpose/Summary

The Communications Specialist is an experienced communications professional who helps shape and execute Plains’ communications strategy across external, digital and internal channels. As part of a small but high-performing team, the role offers breadth, visibility and ownership, with opportunities to contribute across nearly every aspect of the communications function.

This role serves as a trusted communications partner, helping advance business objectives, strengthen stakeholder relationships and protect the company’s reputation. The successful candidate is equally comfortable supporting crisis response, managing digital channels, identifying new opportunities to elevate Plains’ profile, developing executive messaging and advising internal partners.

The role is best suited to someone who enjoys operating as a communications generalist with an external focus, and is energized by the opportunity to work across a wide variety of business issues. The ideal candidate is a highly collaborative self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced environment, exercises sound judgment, navigates ambiguity with confidence and takes initiative to solve problems before they arise.

Manage Plains’ social media presence, developing content and monitoring analytics to enhance engagement and support corporate objectives.

Uphold and refine Plains’ brand standards, ensuring consistency across communications materials and digital channels.

Partner with internal and external creative resources to develop visual, multimedia and digital content aligned with Plains’ brand and messaging priorities.

Evaluate emerging technologies, AI tools and digital trends to improve efficiency, strengthen stakeholder engagement and enhance communications effectiveness.

Internal Communications

Collaborate with the internal communications lead to support company-wide communications initiatives including town halls, executive messages, newsletters, intranet content and employee engagement campaigns, as business needs and team priorities require.

Develop communications materials that help leaders effectively cascade information throughout the organization.

Help define and promote communications best practices, templates, brand resources and other shared communications assets.

What Success Looks Like

Builds trusted relationships across the business and is sought out for communications counsel.

Delivers high-quality work quickly, accurately and with minimal oversight.

Demonstrates sound judgment in high-pressure and time-sensitive situations.
