Role Overview

McKesson is seeking a Modernization Office Senior Director (Lead).

The Modernization Office Lead is a senior people leader responsible for building and running the operating infrastructure that enables AIM28 and Business Modernization initiatives to execute at scale and deliver lasting impact across NAPS. Operating within a program targeting over meaningful AOP impact, this leader establishes governance, designs repeatable processes, and drives structured execution so that modernization work advances with discipline, speed, and transparency.

The Modernization Office Lead partners across business, technology, and finance functions, frequently influencing without direct authority, to embed new ways of working, align competing priorities, and ensure senior and executive leaders maintain consistent visibility into progress, risk, and value delivered. Critically, this leader is not only running a program, they are building a modernization capability that is designed to outlast AIM28 and become a permanent organizational competency. This leader builds, develops, and holds accountable a team of direct reports while modeling McKesson's LEADRx behaviors in every dimension of the work.

Key Responsibilities

Program Operations & Governance

• Design and run the operating cadence for the full modernization portfolio, including governance forums (e.g., RAIB), escalation pathways, and decision tracking mechanisms.
• Own clear decision rights for day-to-day program operations and define the escalation path for issues that require VP or executive resolution — ensuring decisions are made at the right level without unnecessary delay.
• Manage cross-initiative interdependencies and surface risks early before they become delivery misses.
• Collaborate with FP&A to maintain a disciplined approach to financial value tracking and portfolio reporting.
• Ensure execution runs on defined structure, roles, and rhythms — not heroic effort.
• Establish and continuously refine the standards and tools that keep the program accountable and moving.

Process & Operating Model Redesign

• Set and enforce standards for AI-first process and operating model redesign across the Big Bet portfolio.
• Apply working knowledge of AI-enabled processes, agentic workflows, and technology-driven operating model changes to challenge legacy ways of working with a clean-sheet mindset.<
