Description

Do you have an eye for detail and a sixth sense for market success?

T-Mobile's savvy Market Managers translate the plan into action when it comes to exceptional sales and service. Whether it's motivating people on the frontlines, streamlining store operations, or showcasing your knack for effective merchandising-you'll forge our business strategy into the best customer experience across several T-Mobile locations in your territory.

OPPORTUNITY- YOUR CHANCE TO SHINE

As Market Manager, you'll own the sales and operations of twelve or thirteen T-Mobile locations, keeping close tabs on each one's ability to deliver an exceptional customer experience. You'll build and coach a stellar team of store General Managers who'll manage the day-to-day details with your support. From backend operations to visual merchandising and product launches, you'll assess each location's overall performance to identify areas of improvement and respond quickly. And, with the same razor-sharp focus, you'll celebrate successes to reinforce your team's talent and training. As you cultivate working relationships with your Division Director, other MMs, and our Retail Operations team, you'll gather the tools to build success across your market, tracking overall market performance and make action plans to meet financial goals. In turn, T-Mobile will offer you professional training, clearly articulated corporate values and management processes, and a range of career possibilities matched only by your aspirations.

TALENT SUITABILITY-ARE YOU THE RIGHT FIT?

People who excel as Market Managers have a natural ability to lead leaders and instill confidence in people around them. In this role, you'll act as an enthusiastic coach to motivate your team to learn, strive for improvement, and feel a real sense of pride in pleasing customers. You'll maintain grace under pressure, with an honest attitude and an informal style that sets the stage to 'get the job done.' Encouraging questions in areas of uncertainty, you'll also give immediate and useful feedback, communicating in a way that makes people eager to collaborate with you. This position also demands that you be diligent about tracking numbers-making clear sense of the financial data and making your next action plan. With an eye on the big picture, and a constant tally on the specifics, you'll steer the way to success.
