The Provider Growth organization is seeking a field-active strategist to drive innovation and growth across McKesson’s specialty provider businesses.

This role serves as a key intelligence bridge between the field-based growth and retention organizations and executive leadership. Through direct observation of customer interactions, sales cycles, and renewal discussions, the role identifies the underlying drivers of customer decision-making and emerging competitive dynamics. By translating real-world market observations into structured insights, this position informs commercial strategy, strengthens our value proposition, and shapes how McKesson competes in the oncology and multi-specialty provider markets. This role requires regular travel (up to 30%) to customer practices and market conferences to observe market dynamics firsthand and gather insights directly from customers and sales teams. This role offers location flexibility and is open to candidates across the United States. Candidates based in the Dallas–Fort Worth (DFW) area will be hired in a hybrid capacity and are expected to work onsite at our Headquarters in Irving, TX a minimum of two (2) days per week, with the remaining days worked remotely. Specific in‑office days may be designated based on team needs and business priorities.
