Digital Transformation Lead, Northstar and Finance

McKesson•Irving, TX

2d•$163,100 - $271,800

About The Position

The Director Digital Transformation Leader is a "trusted advisor" to business executives, to establish and maintain value-driven, strategic relationships with NAPD Finance and Northstar business partners managing buy side processes, and to proactively manage business demand. They link IT’s capabilities to business partners’ individual goals, and openly pursue these goals in a direct, constructive, but not aggressive, way. They are challengers, not just relationship builders, so that they become “order shapers” rather than “order takers”. The DTL teaches for differentiation, reframing the way business partners view their business and their needs. They focus on building constructive tension in interactions to push customers out of their comfort zone. They love to debate and are comfortable “pushing” their business partners.
