This Senior Manager is a leadership role that leads T-Mobile’s new Churn Performance Management & Diagnostics function for the broadband organization, with full ownership of disconnect target setting for Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) and Fiber and the business activation needed to close gaps and maximize performance against target. The role reports directly to the Director of Broadband Customer Management, Retention & Revenue.
At the core, steering is responsible for setting the target, identifying the key drivers behind results, clearly communicating what is happening and why, and activating the business to close gaps and maximize performance. Diagnostics is responsible for the insight and intelligence that makes that possible: understanding the base deeply enough, through segmentation and root cause analysis, to know where to look before being asked. This leader owns both halves for FWA and Fiber, and partners with FP&A to turn that understanding into an accurate disconnect forecast and a clear explanation of variance when results move away from plan.
Must have direct, hands-on experience setting targets, speaking to performance against those targets with leadership, and proactively building and stacking initiatives, in-quarter and multi-quarter, to close the gap to target.
This position requires a hybrid work arrangement – working at the designated office location at least 3 days per week.
Performance Steering
- Sets and owns disconnect targets for FWA and Fiber, in-quarter and multi-quarter, partnering with FP&A on the forecast and updating it as conditions change.
- Identifies key drivers. Separates in-quarter noise from the structural trends that are actually moving the number, and says so plainly.
- Explains variance to plan in clear terms, telling leadership what happened and why before they have to ask, so misses are anticipated rather than a surprise.
- Activates the business to close gaps and maximize performance: keeps a running list of specific actions and contingencies with clear ownership, and works cross-functionally with product management, acquisition, analytics, pricing, marketing, operations, consumer insights, and field marketing to turn diagnosis into the right remedies and initiatives.
- Aligns with Acquisition and Finance on QGP and weekly expectations for disconnects and nets.
Diagnostics & Base Intelligence
- Runs deep dive analysis and base segmentation across both FWA and Fiber to understand who is in the base and what is driving their behavior.
- Owns churn propensity. Builds and maintains a clear view of which parts of the base are most likely to churn and why. This is the foundation the rest of the role is built on.
- Does the root cause work behind every meaningful swing in performance, the why behind the what.
- Turns that work into a short, trusted list of the insights that matter most, rather than letting analysis sit idle in a deck nobody reads.
Lead the Team
- Builds and leads a performance steering and diagnostics team across FWA and Fiber, scaling headcount as the mandate requires it.
- Coaches the team toward real ownership of their numbers, not just reporting on them.
- Invests in each person’s growth and gives them a clear path to take on more scope over time.
- Also responsible for other duties/projects as assigned by business management as needed
Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree and 7 years of related work experience, or a combination of education and experience deemed equivalent
- Has directly held a performance management or business steering role before: setting targets, identifying the key drivers behind results, speaking to performance against those targets with leadership, and proactively building and stacking initiatives, in-quarter and multi-quarter, to close the gap to target
- Background across some combination of retention, performance management or business steering, loyalty, churn management, and customer experience. Broad exposure across these areas matters more than depth in just one of them
- 5+ years in telecommunications, broadband, or another subscription business, with a focus on performance management, forecasting, or commercial analytics
- Has managed people before and can point to specific examples of developing managers or senior individual contributors
- Comfortable presenting in writing and in person to senior leaders, including frequent presentations at the C-level
- Experience analyzing customer, business, and industry data to drive business performance
- Comfortable partnering with FP&A on forecasting and target setting for disconnects, and able to turn complicated diagnostics into a recommendation a senior leader can act on
- Strong financial acumen. Understands the drivers of return on investment, can build a financial model from scratch, and reviews quarterly forecasts and budgets without help
- Able to influence, lead, and coach cross-functional partners, including product management, acquisition, analytics, pricing, marketing, operations, consumer insights, and field marketing, and brings new ideas to the table rather than waiting to be handed a problem
- Can move between altitudes in the same day: setting the quarter’s steering agenda in the morning, digging into one segment’s churn driver in the afternoon
- Experience with base segmentation or churn and propensity modeling specifically, beyond general commercial analytics preferred
- Expos ure to JV or acquired-base integration work, including the disconnect and migration questions that come with a fiber JV preferred
- At least 18 years of age
- Legally authorized to work in the United States
