In this leadership role, you'll be responsible for advising dozens of leaders accountable for delivering consequential business results. Through a consultative approach, you'll have the opportunity to influence a portfolio of highly visible strategic priorities that comprise the fiscal year strategic plan.

This work can't be done by just one person, so you'll work in partnership with business leaders and their teams across the CMM business segment and involves tight collaboration with enabling functions (HR, Finance, IT, Legal, Compliance, and Corporate Strategy & Business Development), as well as McKesson Centers of Excellence, including Org & Change and Learning & Development and your colleagues on the Business Activation & Impact Team.

Position Description and Key Responsibilities:

In partnership with others, the VP, Strategy Realization is responsible for realizing the value defined in the strategic plan. This work will require you to:

• Define, protect, and confirm our intent with solution design and decision criteria. This is the deliberate, thoughtful work of testing and re-testing that we're always focused on the right things and that those things are realized in a responsible way.
• Build organizational commitment to changes through change management practices. This is done through a beautiful, highly effective partnership with our McKesson Org & Change CoE. They are an extension of our team and bring the methodology, tools, and expertise to bear on the work. It's a productive team effort and will require you to have a deep understanding of how people process change and what's required to fast-track lasting adoption.

With our colleagues on the communications team, we'll make sure all the right people know how we're improving CMM.
• Optimize the employee and customer experience via "limited-view" portfolio management. We aren't air traffic controllers, but we are experience designers. It's our role to ensure the work we're involved in creates or contributes to a positive experience.
• Build a team of diverse practitioners to perform like-work at varying levels. We're a growing team and we'll look to you to attract and manage diverse talent with the mindset and skills needed to achieve our results.
• Support budget and workforce planning efforts, including managing RFPs, SOWs, and COs with vendor partners and consultants.
