About The Position

McKesson's General Counsel Organization (GCO) is seeking a Managing Chief Counsel to serve as the principal legal advisor and strategic partner to Core Ventures, the management services organization supporting Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute, and provide regulatory support for The US Oncology Network (Network). This is a broad generalist role that spans transactions, operations, data governance, and healthcare regulation across one of the largest community oncology platforms in the United States. The role provides end-to-end legal leadership across the Core Ventures operating model: management services agreements and intercompany arrangements, practice integration and post-close structuring, enterprise contracting, and data governance. On the Network side, the role provides healthcare regulatory guidance, including AKS, Stark, fraud and abuse analysis, CMS and state regulatory requirements, HIPAA and PHI governance, privacy review, and support for Network compliance programs. We are looking for a lawyer who does more than answer the question in front of them. Every company is at a different point in its use of AI for process improvement, and what matters here is the ability to think differently about how legal work gets delivered and to bring that mindset into the team. The successful candidate will pair excellent legal judgment with a demonstrated record of modernizing playbooks, intake, and workflows so that legal support scales with the business.
