Full Job Description
Job Overview This role owns how T-Mobile understands, controls, and gets value from every dollar and every seat it spends on AI - and builds the programs that do it. On the cost side, you'll design the showback and chargeback models for token spend across our GenAI platforms and LLM spend for our agents, then build the cost-optimization model, and the tooling to support it, that keeps spend efficient as usage scales. On the license side, you'll own the license management program across OpenAI, Anthropic, and Glean - who's eligible, verifying the right people hold seats, standing up and tearing down licenses for pilots, and reclaiming what's unused. It's one mission from two angles: every unused seat reclaimed and every token optimized is value returned to the business. As AI spend grows into a major enterprise investment, you're the person who makes it visible, fair, and optimized by design. Success looks like every leader knowing exactly what their AI costs and why, anomalies flagged before they become surprises, and cost views feeding the Council measures dashboard - not a dollar or a seat going to waste.
