T-Mobile is synonymous with innovation–and you could be part of the team that disrupted an entire industry! We reinvented customer service, brought real 5G to the nation, and now we’re shaping the future of technology in wireless and beyond. 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.

We’re continuing to redefine the future of wireless and we’re looking for a Video Director with a meticulous eye for detail, strong storytelling skills, and an understanding of what it takes to engage viewers. You’ll join a team focused on developing content in support of various initiatives at T-Mobile.

As the Un-carrier, we changed wireless forever. We abolished barriers, cut the BS and eliminated mind-bending costs and complexities. We sparked a wireless revolution. We led by example and forced an entire industry to follow. But this was just the start.

At our core – we love our customers. We put people first, treat them right and change the rules in their favor. We’re a company with a beating heart that sees people over numbers. We celebrate differences – knowing we’re better together than apart, and we’re inspired to change the world for the better.

Our future is in redefining wireless. Not what is, but what will be. In bringing choice, value and simplicity to customers in entirely new ways. In reimaging a connected world for all – without limits. And while other companies focus on who much they can charge…we dream of what customers can do. Frictionless, end-to-end experiences. On their terms. Technology in the service of people. Not the other way around.

It’s this unstoppable mindset and our mission of becoming the best in the world at connecting customers to their world that inspires us every day.
