About The Position

T-Mobile is hiring a pragmatic, business-focused transactional generalist attorney to support enterprise procurement transactions across the company, with a core and ongoing focus on Finance operations, including Finance, Credit Risk, Fraud, Collections Decisioning Infrastructure, and Payments. The attorney will advise cross-functional stakeholders and independently manage a varied portfolio of procurement agreements from intake through negotiation, approval, and execution. The work spans professional services, technology licensing, SaaS, data products, and financial-services arrangements with banks, payment providers, credit bureaus, data and analytics providers, decisioning platforms, fraud and identity-verification vendors, collections providers, and other financial professional-services firms. The role requires a strong commercial negotiator who can move quickly between categories, suppliers, and business models; identify material legal and operational risks; and convert them into practical business recommendations. The attorney will serve as legal advisor of record to assigned business partners, lead mid-complexity and higher-value transactions with sophisticated counterparties, and escalate novel or enterprise-level risks. The role also supervises outside counsel on assigned matters and helps bring work in-house by developing templates, standards, escalation guidelines, and playbooks. The attorney will use contract lifecycle management tools and approved AI tools, remaining accountable for reviewing and validating AI-assisted work, and will contribute to training and process improvement. The role requires a U.S. law degree and admission to at least one state bar in good standing, along with at least five years of relevant experience. The national base pay range is $123,200–$222,200, and the total target cash earnings opportunity is $141,680–$255,530. Actual pay varies by work location, qualifications, and experience. Travel is not required. T-Mobile describes its workplace as collaborative and cross-functional and offers eligible employees compensation, benefits, and career-development opportunities.
