About The Position

The Lead Data Engineer / Architect is a senior individual contributor on McKesson’s Provider Revenue Operations team. This role owns the data architecture, pipelines, models, and automation behind revenue and performance analytics. The role builds and supports the data used for sales performance dashboards, month-end and quarter-end close, payment and commission validation, and leadership reporting. It works closely with technical teams, business partners, and leaders to deliver scalable solutions that meet current needs and support future growth. This person serves as the primary technical lead for Revenue Operations data architecture and development, including cloud platforms, system integrations, automation, and platform migrations. Much of this work currently depends on manual processes and individual knowledge. This role will replace those dependencies with automated, reusable data infrastructure so that reporting is accurate, consistent, and independent of any one person. An AI-minded approach is core to the role. Modern AI capabilities such as retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), large language models, and agentic workflows are applied where they measurably speed up or sharpen revenue intelligence, along with building the data foundations that make those use cases possible. AI is a tool this work relies on when it fits, not the primary mandate. This position is open to applicants located anywhere in the United States. Compensation will vary based on the selected candidate’s geographic location.
