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.\nWhat 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.\nThe Specialty Access & Affordability value stream is seeking a Senior Engineering Manager to lead the FastAuth team. FastAuth is central to how we move specialty prescriptions through prior authorization faster, reducing the time between a prescription being written and a patient starting therapy.\nThis is a role for a leader who manages significant complexity and can carry multiple major workstreams at once. You will own delivery, team health, and technical direction for FastAuth, and you will operate as a peer to the other engineering leaders in the value stream on decisions that reach beyond your own team. You will lead a group of skilled engineers working across React front ends, .NET services, and event-driven integrations on Azure, on a team that ships continuously and owns what it builds.\nWhat You'll Do\nDelivery and execution\nPlan and execute across multiple workstreams, setting goals at the right altitude and holding the team accountable to them\nPrioritize investment across your portfolio of projects and refocus effort when results are not moving the business forward\nRun efficient operating cadences within SAFe, including PI planning, while minimizing work about work\nUnblock the team by addressing root causes rather than symptoms\nEnsure delivery results do not come at the expense of long-term growth, retention, or psychological safety\nTechnical and strategic direction\nDefine a vision for FastAuth that aligns to value stream and company priorities, and bring engineers and cross-functional partners along with it\nPartner with architects and staff engineers on design decisions across TypeScript, React, .NET, Azure, and event-driven architecture\nResolve misalignment with partner teams and stakeholders who hold different goals\nServe as a steady presence through change, and coach the team through complexity and ambiguity\nTeam and talent\nAttract, hire, and retain a diverse and talented engineering team, with an eye on long-term org health rather than the immediate opening\nInterview and assess senior candidates, and keep your team calibrated as interviewers\nHold the team to clear performance expectations, motivating high performers and turning around low performers\nGrow careers deliberately by matching development opportunities to individual goals and offering next-level work to those ready for it\nStructure the team so the right people are in the right roles, and plan headcount for sustained success\nCollaboration and culture\nBreak down silos across engineering, product, design, and quality, and influence toward the best outcome for the business rather than the local optimum\nBuild deep cross-functional relationships, facilitate the right conversations, and settle disagreements by managing competing viewpoints\nDisagree and commit when that is what moves a critical priority forward\nRemove barriers to inclusion, surface cultural issues proactively, and follow through when something is off\nWrite and speak with clarity, tailoring the message to the audience, and share information so the right people stay aligned\nPriority will be given to candidates who reside in the Columbus, OH metropolitan area.\nWe are unable to provide sponsorship for this role presently or in the future. \nMinimum Requirements\nDegree or equivalent experience, plus typically 10+ years of relevant professional experience including 4+ years of engineering management experience.\nCritical Skills\n4+ years leading software engineering teams, including hiring, performance management, and career development\nTrack record delivering multiple concurrent workstreams with real business impact\nTechnical foundation strong enough to be credible in design discussions on modern web stacks and cloud platforms, ideally TypeScript, React, .NET, and Azure\nWorking understanding of event-driven architecture and the tradeoffs it introduces\nExperience operating in a scaled agile environment, SAFe or equivalent, including planning across teams\nData-driven approach to delivery health, including flow metrics such as throughput, cycle time, and predictability\nDemonstrated ability to drive adoption of AI tooling in engineering workflows\nAbility to resolve cross-team misalignment directly, without routing every disagreement through escalation\nClear written and verbal communication that works for both engineers and executives\nAdditional Skills (Preferred)\nHealthcare applications, particularly EHR integrations\nPrior authorization, pharmacy, or payer domain experience\nFHIR standard, SMART on FHIR integrations, and healthcare data exchange\nExperience leading other people managers or building a leadership bench\nExperience scaling a team through significant growth, transition, or restructuring\nContributions to engineering communities of practice, internal or external\nEducation\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.\nWork Environment\nHybrid, based out of the Columbus, Ohio office.
