Field Vice President, Health Systems – Southeast
McKesson’s Health Systems Sales Team is seeking an experienced Field Vice President who brings executive presence, strategic rigor, and disciplined follow‑through to managing complex health system partnerships across the Southeast.
Job Summary
This is a senior, field-based leadership role for a sales executive who understands that enterprise selling extends well beyond contract execution. The Field Vice President is responsible for both setting and executing high-level sales strategy while ensuring every critical step following a signed agreement is fully implemented, aligned, and operationalized.
In this role, you will serve as a trusted, consultative partner to C‑suite executives, leading sophisticated conversations around revenue, cost savings, and long-term value. Equally important, you will own the post‑sale execution lifecycle—partnering closely with internal stakeholders to ensure implementation milestones are met, operational requirements are finalized, and new customers are fully enabled to begin ordering and doing business with McKesson.
This is not a transactional role and not a handoff at signature. Success requires a polished, highly driven leader who combines strategic vision, operational discipline, and executive‑level credibility.

This role supports a Southeast territory including Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Kentucky, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida.
Candidates must currently reside within the territory. Relocation assistance is not provided.
Candidates must reside within the assigned Southeast territory. While not required, those based in or near Nashville, TN are strongly preferred, as the territory’s largest health system customer is located in the Nashville area and represents a significant focus of the role.
