Sr. Corporate Counsel - Commercial/Product Transactions (Financial/B2B Products)

At T-Mobile, we invest in YOU! Our Total Rewards Package ensures that employees get the same big love we give our customers. All team members receive a competitive base salary and compensation package - this is Total Rewards. Employees enjoy multiple wealth-building opportunities through our annual stock grant, employee stock purchase plan, 401(k), and access to free, year-round money coaches. That's how we're UNSTOPPABLE for our employees!

What you'll do in your role.

• Advise on contracts at all stages of the product development lifecycle (ideation through EOL).
• Lead drafting, review, and negotiation of complex commercial agreements, including:
  • B2B product development and resale transactions: trial agreements, MSAs, order forms/SOWs, amendments, renewals, remediation agreements, and termination/wind-down/transition assistance provisions for third-party products T-Mobile resells.
  • Financial products contracts, e.g., banking, credit card, and program partnerships.
  • Technology and services transactions that enable these portfolios: SaaS/hosted services, integrations/APIs, security tooling, professional and managed services, and strategic vendor arrangements supporting product development and commercialization.
• Structure and negotiate risk allocation frameworks, including liability regimes (limitations of liability, indemnities, special damages, insurance requirements).
• Ensure agreements accurately reflect business objectives while minimizing legal, operational, financial, reputational, and security risk, with particular focus on:
  • Data and security terms (data rights/use restrictions, breach notification, subcontractor controls, retention, audit evidence needs).
  • Performance and operations terms (SLAs, service credits, support responsibilities, implementation milestones, service continuity, and disaster recovery).
  • Commercial terms (pricing models, variable/volume-based fees, audit rights, benchmarking, MFN/most-favored provisions, termination rights, and transition assistance).
  • Flow-down alignment between upstream vendor obligations (warranties/SLAs/credits/IP/data/security) and downstream customer commitments in sales channels for resale offerings.
  • Governance dependencies common in financial products (TPRM, InfoSec, Privacy, Compliance, Accounting/Controls) and disciplined early alignment to prevent late-stage escalations.

• Serve as a trusted legal advisor to business, product, finance, and procurement stakeholders-providing practical, solution-oriented counsel aligned with enterprise strategy and operational objectives.
• Identify and assess legal, regulatory, financial, and operational risks; articulate mitigation strategies; and exercise independent judgment within established corporate risk frameworks.
• Drive operational excellence by developing and refining templates, playbooks, clause positions, and escalation guardrails; leveraging technology-enabled solutions (including AI where appropriate) and process optimization to improve contracting efficiency, scalability, and risk consistency.
• Manage outside counsel strategically-right-sizing use to risk and complexity and actively controlling scope, budget, and outcomes.

The experience you'll bring.

• A U.S. law degree, with admission to at least one state bar in good standing.
• 7+ years of relevant experience, including substantial experience in-house and/or at a law firm drafting and negotiating complex commercial agreements.
• Demonstrated ability to critically manage a large portfolio of work and manage to KPIs.
• Keen pragmatic business sense with solid judgment and analytical skills, including the ability to translate the needs of senior leaders into action.
• Proven ability to excel working cross-functionally with multiple clients in a fast-paced environment.

• Experience supporting enterprise procurement organizations and cross-functional governance partners (TPRM, InfoSec, Privacy, Compliance, Accounting/Controls) in regulated or data-intensive environments.
• Foundational knowledge of common privacy and data issues (e.g., sensitive data handling, retention, audit evidence, vendor access controls).
• Demonstrated process-improvement mindset (templates/playbooks, intake decisioning, KPI/cycle-time improvements, automation/AI enablement).
• Corporate experience and familiarity with complex consumer and B2B business operations
• Aptitude for helping growing organizations build scalable processes.
• Foundational knowledge of common intellectual property issues in product development
• Familiarity with end-to-end product lifecycle, including sales motions.
