At T-Mobile, we invest in YOU! Our Total Rewards Package ensures that employees get the same big love we give our customers. All team members receive a competitive base salary and compensation package - this is Total Rewards. Employees enjoy multiple wealth-building opportunities through our annual stock grant, employee stock purchase plan, 401(k), and access to free, year-round money coaches. That's how we're UNSTOPPABLE for our employees!

T-Mobile has an exciting opportunity for a bright, pragmatic, "business first" transactional attorney to join our team and help get stuff done. This role supports a commercial transactional portfolio spanning multiple customer-facing products, including (1) B2B Products (third-party products/services T-Mobile commercializes and resells) and (2) financial products (e.g., T-Mobile Money and related payments/financial services vendor ecosystem). The attorney will independently lead negotiations, provide risk-based counseling to senior business leaders, and partner cross-functionally across Legal, Finance, Product, Procurement, Risk, Cybersecurity, Privacy, Compliance, and Third-Party Risk Management.

This role requires strong commercial judgment, the ability to translate legal risk into clear business decision frameworks, and comfort operating in a fast-paced, high-volume enterprise procurement environment.

This is a high-impact role for a commercially minded deal jockey who thrives in complex, enterprise-scale transactions, and values practical, business-oriented lawyering.

What you'll do in your role.

Advise on contracts at all stages of the product development lifecycle (ideation through EOL).
Lead drafting, review, and negotiation of complex commercial agreements, including:
B2B product development and resale transactions: trial agreements, MSAs, order forms/SOWs, amendments, renewals, remediation agreements, and termination/wind-down/transition assistance provisions for third-party products T-Mobile resells.
Financial products contracts, e.g., banking, credit card, and program partnerships.
Technology and services transactions that enable these portfolios: SaaS/hosted services, integrations/APIs, security tooling, professional and managed services, and strategic vendor arrangements supporting product development and commercialization.

Structure and negotiate risk allocation frameworks, including liability regimes (limitations of liability, indemnities, special damages, insurance requirements).
Ensure agreements accurately reflect business objectives while minimizing legal, operational, financial, reputational, and security risk, with particular focus on:
Data and security terms (data rights/use restrictions, breach notification, subcontractor controls, retention, audit evidence needs).
Performance and operations terms (SLAs, service credits, support responsibilities, implementation milestones, service continuity, and disaster recovery).
Commercial terms (pricing models, variable/volume-based fees, audit rights, benchmarking, MFN/most-favored provisions, termination rights, and transition assistance).
Flow-down alignment between upstream vendor obligations (warranties/SLAs/credits/IP/data/security) and downstream customer commitments in sales channels for resale offerings.
Governance dependencies common in financial products (TPRM, InfoSec, Privacy, Compliance, Accounting/Controls) and disciplined early alignment to prevent late-stage escalations.

Serve as a trusted legal advisor to business, product, finance, and procurement stakeholders-providing practical, solution-oriented counsel aligned with enterprise strategy and operational objectives.
Identify and assess legal, regulatory, financial, and operational risks; articulate mitigation strategies; and exercise independent judgment within established corporate risk frameworks.
Drive operational excellence by developing and refining templates, playbooks, clause positions, and escalation guardrails; leveraging technology-enabled solutions (including AI where appropriate) and process optimization to improve contracting efficiency, scalability, and risk consistency.
Manage outside counsel strategically-right-sizing use to risk and complexity and actively controlling scope, budget, and outcomes.

The experience you'll bring.

A U.S. law degree, with admission to at least one state bar in good standing.
7+ years of relevant experience, including substantial experience in-house and/or at a law firm drafting and negotiating complex commercial agreements.
Demonstrated ability to critically manage a large portfolio of work and manage to KPIs.
Keen pragmatic business sense with solid judgment and analytical skills, including the ability to translate the needs of senior leaders into action.
Proven ability to excel working cross-functionally with multiple clients in a fast-paced environment.
Ability to work independently and efficiently to meet demanding deadlines.
Client-oriented interpersonal skills.
Top-tier oral and written communication skills.
Impeccable attention to detail and strong sense of pride in work product.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience supporting financial products, fintech, or payments ecosystems (bank/program partnerships, card/payment rails, processors, fraud/identity, credit bureau/data services, collections).
Experience with product resale/channel/partner models and upstream/downstream term alignment ("flow-down" contracting).
Experience supporting enterprise procurement organizations and cross-functional governance partners (TPRM, InfoSec, Privacy, Compliance, Accounting/Controls) in regulated or data-intensive environments.
Foundational knowledge of common privacy and data issues (e.g., sensitive data handling, retention, audit evidence, vendor access controls).
Demonstrated process-improvement mindset (templates/playbooks, intake decisioning, KPI/cycle-time improvements, automation/AI enablement).
Corporate experience and familiarity with complex consumer and B2B business operations
Aptitude for helping growing organizations build scalable processes.
Foundational knowledge of common intellectual property issues in product development
Familiarity with end-to-end product lifecycle, including sales motions.

Essential Personal Attributes

You are an owner: proactive, action-oriented, and comfortable taking the reins-including project-managing complex transactions end-to-end.
You exercise strong business judgment: practical and risk-based, able to translate legal issues into clear decision frameworks with common sense, humility, and appropriate humor.
You bring executive-ready presence: clear, confident communicator who is credible with senior stakeholders and effective in escalations.
You stay composed under pressure: professional, respectful, and steady in fast-moving or high-stakes situations.
You are a sharp problem-solver and negotiator: curious, analytical, and creative, with strong critical thinking and negotiation instincts.
You are a collaborative partner: team-oriented and invested in the success of clients, colleagues, and the company; you thrive with cross-functional stakeholders.
You are committed to excellence: you hold high standards, follow through, and consistently deliver high-quality outcomes.
You are flexible and growth-minded: open to learning and willing to pitch in beyond your primary scope to meet evolving business needs.
