Manager, Experience Center

The McKesson Experience Center serves as a corporate showcase highlighting all of McKesson's solutions, products, and services and routinely hosts employees, customers, and guests of McKesson's C-suite. It is a highly visible and tangible experience that brings the McKesson brand to life and supports our partners' objectives to drive new business. We are in the first year of launching this new experience and this role can create a foundational impact.

The Manager, Experience Center is primarily responsible for facilitating Experience Center tours, managing tour operations, designing tour tracks, and engaging with teams across the organization to ensure our communications regarding each business segment are updated and accurate. Additionally, this role will be responsible for supporting and updating multiple, customized content modules (including but not limited to decks, interactive animations, video, etc.) and accompanying scripts to create a memorable experience for our guests. In this role, the individual is representative of the McKesson brand and will need to be just as comfortable conveying the McKesson story as they are at engaging with corporate, business, and sales leaders to ensure their tours deliver with impact.

This role will report directly to the Associate Brand Director of the Experience Center, as part of the Corporate Brand and Creative Services team, and will regularly engage with our events team responsible for our McKesson Conference Center.

In addition to superior verbal and written communication skills along with a background in healthcare, the ideal candidate will be a highly organized, goal-oriented, self-directed professional with strong attention to detail. From tracking/coordinating tour requests, balancing competing priorities and managing the Experience Center calendar, to providing onsite support for office hours, issuing tour surveys and assisting with monthly reporting to leadership, this individual will have a strong aptitude for coordination of activities and have proven experience working effectively in a highly matrixed corporate setting.

This role requires strong emotional intelligence and collaboration skills to work closely with stakeholders throughout the organization to capture and accurately convey the company's priorities in all aspects of their work. An aptitude for service-leadership and hospitality plus experience with technology and AI resources will be an advantage to this role's success.
