About The Position

This role manages T-Mobile’s enterprise AI portfolio and the operating cadence behind it as a set of complex technical products aligned with business objectives and employee needs. The position owns the portfolio lifecycle end to end, including its vision, an integrated delivery roadmap across AI governance, platform, engineering, and adoption teams, sequencing interdependent work, technical delivery, and stakeholder collaboration. It brings employee insights, market analysis, and technical feasibility together to prioritize features and improvements across teams with shared resource and schedule constraints. Success is measured by business outcomes, delivery against leadership commitments and dates, employee satisfaction, and technical performance. The work drives product innovation, operational efficiency, and improved employee experiences by coordinating interdependent AI work across the portfolio.

The role also owns the organization’s operating cadence, including quarterly planning, portfolio reviews, leadership forums, and the forward calendar of executive forums, launches, audits, and planning cycles.

Preferred experience includes operating-cadence ownership for a senior technology leader or multi-team organization, managing interdependent products or platforms across teams and partner organizations, working knowledge of AI, generative AI, or platform engineering, and leading a high-visibility initiative from an ambiguous goal to delivery without a dedicated team.
