Technology Sourcing Manager

About the role

T-Mobile is seeking a Sourcing Manager of 2026 to join our team. This role requires working on-site five days per week with a preference for Bellevue, WA. Remote work is not available for this position.

Responsibilities

• Deploy and orchestrate AI agents across the full sourcing lifecycle — market intelligence, RFx authoring, response synthesis, redline drafting, should-cost modeling, and supplier scorecards.
• Treat AI as a co-worker, not a tool: define prompts, evaluation criteria, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints.
• Measure and continuously improve cycle time, accuracy, and decision quality.
• Own multi-year category strategies for assigned technology spend (SaaS, AI/ML platforms, data, cybersecurity, professional services with focus of Tech Labor).
• Build supplier ecosystems that out-innovate competitors, not just out-price them.
• Translate emerging tech (agentic AI, vertical SaaS, foundation model providers) into competitive sourcing plays.
• Lead high-stakes negotiations against incumbent suppliers, internal stakeholders with strong preferences, and entrenched contractual positions.
• Welcome conflict as the path to better outcomes. Stay calm, curious, and firm when others go quiet or defensive.
• Partner deeply with Technology, Finance, Legal, Cyber, Privacy, and Product to shape demand upstream — not just react to it downstream.
• Be in the room when the technical decision is being made, not after the contract lands on your desk.
• Build defensible should-cost models using AI-assisted research, public filings, benchmark data, and first-principles unit economics.
• Move negotiations from anchored vendor pricing to fact-based target pricing. Quantify and capture value beyond unit price — consumption efficiency, licensing right-sizing, exit costs, and avoided spend.

Requirements

• Competitive sourcing technology spend through RFP, RFI and RFQs.
• Draft, negotiate and execute contractual documents including but not limited to master service agreements, statements of work, letter agreements, and purchase orders.
• Run market scans and supplier qualification — identify net-new entrants, challengers, and emerging players (especially in AI/ML, agentic platforms, vertical SaaS) before they show up in Gartner.
• Build out autonomous agents and tools to help drive productivity, efficiency and overall process improvement.
• Partner with technical personnel to interpret technical specifications to commercial and corporate financial requirements.
• Summarize and present business cases and agreements for executive review and approval.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree plus 5 years of related work experience OR Advanced degree with 3 years of related experience (Required)
• Acceptable areas of study include Business, Finance, Technology or Engineering (Required)
• 4-7 years Experience in a technology sourcing, an engineering role or similar role. (Required)
• 4-7 years Experience managing Business Requirements, Project Plans, Project Schedules and associated project materials in a mid to large size company. (Required)
• Ai Proficiency - Use enterprise AI (ChatGPT Enterprise, Claude, Copilot, internal LLM platforms) as your daily operating system — not as a novelty. (Required)
• Project Management (Required)
• Category Management (Required)
• Microsoft Office (Required)
• RFP/RFI Development (Required)
• Contract Negotiation (Required)
• Executive Communication (Required)
• Strategic Sourcing (Required)
