Our work is as exciting as it is rewarding, so consider the career opportunity below as your invitation to grow with us, make big things happen with us, above all, #BEYOU with us. Together, we won’t stop!

Get hands-on experience, training—and a leg up on a bright future.

T-Mobile didn’t become a leader by following the playbook. We got here by breaking it. We’re a disruptor that now plays on a higher tier, and we’re still raising the bar for millions of customers nationwide. If you want to work somewhere that sets the standard instead of matching it, this is your place.
This is an 11-week paid learning experience where you’ll do real work, not busywork. You’ll build relationships with other interns and leaders across the company, and you’ll be paired with mentors who will challenge you to grow skills that matter. We’ll give you hands-on projects with real stakes, and we expect your creativity and sharp ideas to make an immediate impact. You’ll work alongside T-Mobile employees who have your back and who still believe the best ideas can come from anyone.

What It’s Like

The Vendor Management team in Procurement Operations manages the relationships, contracts, and performance of the suppliers that power T-Mobile’s network, technology, and customer experience. We’re small enough that you’ll be seen and heard, and big enough that your work will matter. We combine supplier relationship management (SRM), supplier audits that identify and recover overpayments, and AI-enabled tools that improve efficiency, accuracy, and business insights. In a typical week, you’ll dig into supplier data, test AI tools, meet with your mentor and teammates, and work closely with senior leaders and business partners across multiple business units.

What You’ll Do

You’ll help us make sure suppliers deliver on their commitments, follow contract terms, and provide value for every dollar spent. Your project is to assess how AI can automate supplier scorecard data collection, analyze spend and contract data, and detect contract deviations and potential overpayments. You’ll test these tools against realistic supplier scenarios, then present your findings and recommendations directly to Vendor Management leadership. This work helps T-Mobile cut costs, reduce risk, and stay ahead in how we manage suppliers.

Key Responsibilities

• Evaluate and help develop AI-powered supplier auditing and contract compliance tools by running test scenarios, comparing capabilities, and documenting findings
• Build reusable resources, including templates, prompt libraries, and how-to guides, that support the team’s ongoing work
• Automate supplier scorecard data collection and consolidation with AI-enabled tools, identify performance trends, and flag areas that need follow-up
• Analyze supplier spend and contract data with AI-enabled tools and Microsoft Excel to uncover cost-saving opportunities, improve efficiency, and track key performance indicators (KPIs)
• Validate AI-generated results against source data, question outputs, and document inconsistencies
• Deliver reports, presentations, and actionable recommendations on supplier performance, cost savings, and AI tool effectiveness to Vendor Management leadership

What It Takes

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with proficiency in Microsoft Excel (formulas, pivot tables, data analysis)
• Clear written and verbal communication skills, and the ability to work with cross-functional teams
• Curiosity and comfort with ambiguity. You challenge assumptions, move with urgency, and don’t take AI-generated answers at face value.
• Integrity and discretion when handling confidential contract and financial information
• Preferred: coursework or experience in procurement, supply chain, contract management, or financial analysis
• Preferred: experience with Power BI, Tableau, or SQL, familiarity with PowerPoint for executive reporting, and interest in generative AI, automation tools, and telecommunications.

Minimum Qualifications

• At least 18 years of age
• Legally authorized to work in the United States now and in the future
• Must have one or more course(s) remaining in a Bachelors or Graduate degree program post internship
