Communications Specialist – Retail Communications
Communications Specialist, Publishing! #tobeapartner
From the beginning, Starbucks set out to be a different kind of company. One that not only celebrated coffee and its rich tradition, but that also brought a feeling of connection. We are known for developing and supporting partners who share this passion and are guided by their service to others.
As a Starbucks communications specialist focusing on content publication, you will be responsible for designing partner-first content, creating engaging layouts, publishing content for the Weekly Update and Store News and Resources, and anticipating and responding to partner posts and questions.
You’ll build a consistent approach to gathering, designing, and publishing content to build partner awareness and engagement around our programs and initiatives. This includes staying ahead of social trends, remaining dialed-in to the current partner experience, and surprising and delighting our partners as you ensure they have the information they need and want.
This is an opportunity to be an integral part of a cross-functional team that is modernizing and simplifying communications so partners feel more informed, inspired, engaged and successful at Starbucks. This requires not only strong communication and time-management skills but a passion for partners, understanding which content will increase engagement, inspire and inform.
Ideal candidates will have demonstrated examples of engaging with partners, designing dynamic digital content, proven time-management and organization skills, experience collaborating with a diverse group of partners, and the ability to anticipate concerns and problem solve to create solutions that build confidence and trust.

- Maintain a partner-first approach and consistent voice that builds awareness of programs and initiatives
- Partner closely with partners across the business to track, design, review and publish content
- Write compelling, social-style engagement copy that builds awareness and drives engagement
- Publish content across the internal digital channels, ensuring it is accessible (i.e. – captions, alternative text)
