About the job

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.

Plains has invested in Data and AI platforms and a growing set of analytics, AI and automation capabilities. We're looking for a Product Owner to help the business understand, trust and adopt them.

This role is about business engagement and enablement first. You'll spend most of your time with business teams, learning how they work, where they're blocked, and where Power BI, Power Platform, Copilot and automation can help. You'll act as an evangelist, turn business needs into a prioritized roadmap, and make sure self-service is built on trusted data and semantic models. You'll own business-facing enablement and adoption. The underlying platforms are owned by technical teams.

What You'll Do

Build trusted relationships across the business and serve as the main contact for self-service data, analytics, AI and automation.

Run discovery sessions and workshops that uncover real business needs, not just tool requests.

Match needs to the right approved capability, and push back on requests for custom solutions when a certified model or existing tool already fits.

Own requirements and prioritization for enterprise semantic models, working with subject matter experts to agree on definitions, measures and business logic.

Define and manage the certification path for semantic models in Microsoft Fabric and Power BI.

Own the self-service product roadmap and backlog, partnering with Data and AI teams and service partners using agile practices.

Enable business use of Copilot, Copilot Studio, Fabric data agents, Power Platform and UiPath, grounded in governed data.

Help define guardrails for self-service AI with Data Governance and the Responsible AI Committee.

Lead training, demos and office hours, and build a community of champions and power users.

Track adoption, usage and realized value to drive continuous improvement.

What You Bring

Degree in computer science, information systems, business, engineering or a related field, or equivalent experience.

5+ years as a Product Owner, Business Analyst, Scrum Master, analytics lead or similar.

Proven track record of turning business needs into data, analytics, AI or automation solutions that people actually use.

Experience driving adoption and change across multiple business functions.

Experience with semantic models, certified datasets or a business glossary.

Experience managing a roadmap and backlog in an agile environment, using tools such as Azure DevOps.

Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Fabric and Power BI, including semantic models, row-level security, and endorsement and certification.

Enough hands-on skill to build a quick report or prototype a model to demonstrate an idea.

Familiarity with Copilot (Microsoft 365 and Fabric), Fabric data agents, Copilot Studio, Power Platform and UiPath.

Understanding of data modeling concepts such as star schemas, hierarchies and granularity, and of how data flows from Databricks into a semantic model.

Exceptional communication and facilitation skills. You're comfortable talking with an operations superintendent and a platform engineer on the same day.

Nice to Have

Experience in midstream energy, pipelines or another asset-intensive industry.

Experience introducing Copilot, generative AI or automation to business users at scale.

Familiarity with Microsoft Purview, Databricks or Unity Catalog.

CSPO or SAFe certification, or formal training in facilitation or change management.

Requirements

Cleared background check and satisfactory references.

Compliance with the Company's drug and alcohol policy, including pre-employment testing.

Authorization to work in the U.S. This position is not eligible for visa sponsorship.
