About The Position

The Technology Sourcing Manager builds and maintains strategic technology supplier relationships for T-Mobile, managing commercial terms, contract negotiations, renewals, and supplier governance.

The position deploys AI agents across sourcing activities, including market research, RFx authoring, response synthesis, contract redline drafting, should-cost modeling, and supplier scorecards. It defines prompts, evaluation criteria, data standards, and human review checkpoints to ensure AI outputs meet quality, compliance, and judgment standards. The manager uses AI-enabled analytics to build should-cost models, benchmark pricing, identify savings, and prepare business cases supporting purchase recommendations, while tracking and improving sourcing cycle time, analytical accuracy, process efficiency, and decision quality. The role shapes T-Mobile’s strategy within assigned spend categories, leads cross-functional sourcing teams, and manages sourcing plans, supplier issue resolution, risk assessments, and executive updates. The goal is to ensure supplier performance meets business, financial, and compliance objectives. This position is based on-site at T-Mobile’s Bellevue, Washington headquarters five days per week.
