About The Position

McKesson is seeking an experienced professional to join McKesson as an Enterprise Infrastructure Client Partner. This highly visible individual contributor role serves as the primary bridge between business leadership and enterprise infrastructure and platform teams. In this role, you will ensure that infrastructure capabilities are aligned with business priorities from the outset—translating strategy into clear, actionable plans that support growth, modernization, and day-to-day operations. You will bring structure and clarity to how work is planned and prioritized, helping leaders make well-informed decisions about investments, tradeoffs, and risks. You will drive integrated planning across demand, capacity, cost, and risk—ensuring that initiatives are realistic, well-coordinated, and positioned for successful execution. At the same time, you will provide clear visibility into infrastructure risks, performance, and key dependencies, helping the business make confident, timely decisions. This role requires a broad understanding of enterprise infrastructure domains (such as cloud, network, platforms, and end-user technologies) and the ability to translate technical concepts into straightforward, business-relevant language. While you will not be responsible for designing or delivering technical solutions, you will play a critical role in aligning business and technical teams to achieve shared outcomes.

This is an excellent opportunity for a strategic, relationship-focused leader who thrives at the intersection of business and technology and enjoys driving alignment, clarity, and results in a complex, fast-paced environment.
