Job Overview
The Product Manager is a visionary strategist and customer evangelist who owns the full arc of T‑Mobile's internal and external products, platforms, services, and experiences.

Job Responsibilities
1. Product Learning & Growth
- Owns the customer problem end to end, accountable not just for what ships but for solving the problem it was designed to address.
- Treats every launch as a learning event: defines success metrics before shipping, captures post‑launch signals, and iterates until outcomes are met.
- Maintains an up‑to‑date understanding of emerging technology trends, including AI and automation, and evaluates their impact on the product roadmap.
2. Customer Problem Understanding
- Conducts direct research, field visits, and behavioral data analysis to build deep empathy and an evidence‑based view of customer needs.
- Creates and sustains an active VOC feed combining qualitative insight and quantitative signals to drive prioritization.
- Identifies patterns in frustration and unmet needs, surfaces them as product opportunities, and validates them before investing.
- Tests ideas with real customers at every stage, keeping features uncompleted until post‑launch data confirms the target was achieved.
- Advocates for the customer both internally and externally, fostering a customer‑first mindset across the organization.
3. Product Strategy & Vision
- Owns and communicates a clear product vision and roadmap grounded in customer problems and measurable outcomes.
- Defines outcome‑based goals (OKRs, KPIs) from the outset and revisits them regularly.
- Leads outcome‑first prioritization: no initiative advances without a hypothesis tied to a measurable metric, a success threshold, and a post‑launch review plan.
- Recommends product positioning strategies to improve experience and drive growth, and evaluates external partnerships and licensing opportunities.
- Works with architecture and engineering to incorporate technical debt and long‑term investment into the roadmap.
4. Stakeholder Alignment
- Builds strong relationships across engineering, design, data science, sales, marketing, legal, go‑to‑market, and finance to align on shared outcomes.
- Secures and maintains product funding following enterprise processes.
- Partners with internal stakeholders to surface opportunities, validate direction, and surface priority alignment.
- Collaborates to create and communicate release schedules and supports sales and marketing with product knowledge.
- Identifies execution obstacles, operational or organizational issues, and drives improvement or escalation plans.
5. Communication
- Communicates clearly and persuasively up to Director level, grounding every recommendation in data and outcome impact.
- Translates technical challenges to stakeholders and makes transparent trade‑off decisions.
- Provides ad‑hoc analysis and insights to leadership on request and keeps stakeholders proactively informed.
6. Data & Financial Acumen
- Conducts data analysis—both quantitative and qualitative—to identify opportunities, diagnose root causes, and size impact.
- Defines and monitors metrics before, during, and after launch, owning the post‑launch measurement loop to drive corrective action.
- Uses data to tell a clear, honest story about product performance.
7. Ownership & Autonomy
- Owns the product end to end—product discovery through post‑launch metric movement.
- Manages the product backlog with business and technology partners, keeping grooming outcome‑led.
- Accounts for quality and performance in production, leading crisis response and stakeholder communication.
- Translates strategy into detailed capabilities, features, and acceptance criteria consumable by development teams.
8. Experience & AI Tools

- Stays current on evolving AI tooling and proactively identifies friction‑reduction or value‑unlocking opportunities.
