About this role

McKesson is an impact-driven, Fortune 10 company that touches virtually every aspect of healthcare. We are known for delivering insights, products, and services that make quality care more accessible and affordable. Here, we focus on the health, happiness, and well-being of you and those we serve – we care. What you do at McKesson matters. We foster a culture where you can grow, make an impact, and are empowered to bring new ideas. Together, we thrive as we shape the future of health for patients, our communities, and our people. If you want to be part of tomorrow’s health today, we want to hear from you. We are building the next generation of McKesson's commercial and customer engagement platforms and need a principal leader who can connect enterprise architecture, business transformation and disciplined delivery at scale.

Role

Purpose: Define the strategic direction for McKesson Salesforce platforms and ensure that strategy is converted into governed, executable, multi-year delivery. This is not a pure program manager role. It requires deep Salesforce architecture credibility combined with portfolio delivery, vendor, financial and stakeholder leadership.

What You Will Do

Set enterprise Salesforce architecture vision, principles, roadmaps and investment priorities across commercial and customer engagement capabilities. Lead architecture and delivery across Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, CPQ, integration platforms, data, AI, automation and digital experiences. Translate business strategy into target-state architecture, sequenced transformation roadmaps and executable delivery plans. Govern major solution decisions through architecture review, design authority, security and risk processes. Own portfolio delivery health, dependencies, risks, outcomes and executive communications across multiple initiatives. Provide oversight for statements of work, vendor performance, delivery commitments, financial stewardship and value realization. Partner with business, product, security, data, integration and engineering leaders to make transparent trade-off decisions. Build and mentor a strong architecture and engineering community with reusable standards and clear accountability. First Six-Month Priorities: Confirm the current-state portfolio, strategic outcomes, critical risks and stakeholder expectations. Establish a prioritized Salesforce transformation roadmap with decision rights, governance forums and measurable outcomes. Assess delivery model, vendor commitments, SOW alignment, financial controls and major cross-program dependencies. Strengthen architecture standards for security, integration, data, extensibility, AI and platform lifecycle management. Create an executive operating rhythm for decisions, risks, delivery health and value realization.

Required Qualifications

13+ years in enterprise technology, architecture or large-scale platform delivery, including substantial Salesforce leadership experience. Demonstrated architecture depth across Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, CPQ, data, security, APIs and enterprise integration patterns. Proven leadership of complex, multi-year transformation portfolios with executive stakeholders and multiple delivery partners. Experience with portfolio governance, program delivery, vendor management, SOW oversight, financial stewardship and delivery accountability. Ability to communicate architecture choices, delivery trade-offs, risk and investment recommendations to executive and technical audiences. Track record of building alignment across business, technology, data, security, operations and partner teams.

Preferred Qualifications

Salesforce Application Architect and System Architect credentials; advanced architect credentials are valued when supported by relevant experience. Experience in regulated, healthcare or other high-compliance enterprise environments. Experience with MuleSoft, enterprise data platforms, AI/agent capabilities, DevOps, observability and platform operating models.
