About the Role

Our Executive Recruiting team delivers a "magenta glove" experience to leaders and candidates alike. As an Executive Recruiter, you will lead high-profile, end-to-end executive and leadership searches, partnering directly with senior leadership to attract and secure top-tier talent that drives business transformation. You will own the full lifecycle of each search — from scoping and strategy through offer acceptance — while serving as a strategic advisor, brand ambassador, and candidate champion.

Success in this role requires a strategic mindset, connecting immediate hiring needs with the long-term vision to future-proof leadership pipelines. You must thrive in ambiguity and shifting priorities, maintaining calm professionalism no matter the pace. Building real trust with executives, candidates, and colleagues is essential — this role demands true relationship-driven influence, not just surface-level connections. You will use data, market insights, and compelling storytelling to advise and influence decisions at the highest levels. Every interaction must reinforce and amplify T-Mobile’s values and vision, positioning you as a powerful brand ambassador. Relentless focus on delivering high-quality, high-impact hires with speed and precision will define your success.

Job Responsibilities

1. Drive full lifecycle executive and leadership searches from intake to offer close: develop sourcing strategies, actively recruit, assess, advise, and deliver world-class talent.
2. Partner with Hiring Executives to launch each search: deeply understand business priorities, success metrics, organizational dynamics, and leadership gaps.
3. Craft search strategies that include target company mapping, market insights, and innovative sourcing approaches to surface top leadership talent.
4. Actively engage passive talent through direct outreach, networking, and compelling storytelling about T-Mobile's leadership opportunities and growth story.
5. Conduct in-depth executive assessments evaluating leadership capabilities, cultural alignment, and potential impact.
6. Present broad candidate slates through written executive summaries and consultative discussions with hiring leaders.
7. Deliver an exceptional candidate experience, ensuring every interaction reflects our brand and values.
8. Provide proactive updates and insights to hiring leaders and stakeholders, managing expectations, anticipating risks, and offering solutions.
9. Negotiate executive offers with a strong understanding of compensation structures, motivations, and internal equity.
10. Capture and leverage market intelligence to inform talent strategies, succession planning, and competitive positioning.
11. Manage multiple executive and/or leadership search projects simultaneously in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, balancing both search execution and stakeholder management.
