About The Position

This role leads the team that makes adopting AI at T-Mobile fast, easy, and frictionless. This is a builder's role. You'll design the experiences and processes that let teams bring AI into their work quickly, with the guardrails handled in the background rather than in their way. You'll own the enterprise's front-door experience for AI — one simple path in, smart routing to the right partners, and enablement that helps teams move. Here, governance exists to accelerate adoption safely, not to slow it. Success looks like teams across T-Mobile shipping AI faster because the path is clear and the friction is gone.
