Senior Manager, Porfolio Analytics, Capacity, & Flow

McKesson•Richmond, VA

About The Position

The Core Transformation Management Office (TMO) within McKesson’s Medical‑Surgical business is seeking a Senior Manager to play a critical role in driving enterprise transformation initiatives with significant financial and organizational impact. This role is a high‑impact, highly visible opportunity to help shape and deliver enterprise transformation across the Medical‑Surgical business. This role sits at the center of some of the most critical initiatives underway—spanning operational transformation and business separation efforts—representing over $200 million in profit impact in the current fiscal year. This role is part of a newly formed, strategically critical organization built to drive execution rigor, transparency, and value realization across the enterprise. The Senior Manager will work alongside three to four Portfolio Managers, collectively overseeing a transformation portfolio of approximately 35 concurrent initiatives. Success in this role directly influences leadership’s ability to make informed decisions, sequence work effectively, and deploy resources where they deliver the greatest return. Designed as a senior individual‑contributor role, this position is ideal for an analytically strong, execution‑oriented leader who thrives in complexity, operates comfortably with senior executives, and brings clarity to ambiguous, fast‑moving environments. The Senior Manager serves as a portfolio‑level execution and analytics leader, partnering closely with Portfolio Managers, FP&A, and senior leaders across the organization. While the role may resemble project management at a glance, its scope is far more strategic—focused on portfolio management, capacity planning, prioritization, and executive decision readiness. The role ensures leaders have a clear, data‑backed view of what is happening across the transformation portfolio, where constraints and risks exist, and what decisions are required to keep initiatives on track.
