What It's Like

The Employee Products & Experience team designs and orchestrates end-to-end employee lifecycle journeys that build trust, clarity, and momentum from Join through Beyond.

We identify systemic friction across platforms like Workday, ServiceNow, UKG, and internal tools, and translate employee insights into scalable, human-centered product solutions.

By embedding governance, AI-enabled personalization, and lifecycle measurement into our operating model, we ensure experiences are not only seamless but sustainable at enterprise scale.

We partner across HR, IT, TA, and Communications to align strategy, simplify complexity, and deliver a unified "one front door" experience for employees.

Our work strengthens retention, accelerates performance, reduces operational inefficiency, and elevates T-Mobile's ability to inspire bold careers while unleashing Un‑carrier culture.

What You'll Do

The Experience Design Intern will conduct structured research and discovery, including interviews and workshops, to uncover both explicit pain points and latent employee needs across lifecycle journeys.

They will map current-state journeys, identify friction and breakdown points, and define high-impact "moments that matter" across personas.

Through rigorous pain point analysis, they will cluster friction themes, quantify impact, and connect root causes to system and process gaps.

The intern will design future-state journey blueprints that translate insights into prioritized opportunity areas aligned to business and human impact.

Finally, they will synthesize complex findings into clear visual artifacts and executive-ready narratives that drive informed decision-making and product prioritization.
