Sales Director

We are seeking a driven and proven Sales Director to join McKesson Specialty Health. This is a high-impact, hunter role focused on driving new business across our Specialty Health portfolio. You'll be on the front line with BioPharma manufacturers—identifying opportunities, opening doors, and winning new partnerships in Canada's evolving pharmaceutical landscape.

You'll leverage your deep industry knowledge and consultative sales expertise to secure new molecules, support market entry strategies, and expand McKesson's Specialty Health footprint.

You will not have direct reports. Success in this role is measured by your ability to consistently bring in revenue growth.

• 10+ years of progressive sales success in Pharma, BioPharma, or Specialty Health, with clear experience selling PSPs, specialty therapies, or commercialization services.

• Strong executive presence and ability to influence C-suite decision-makers.
• Excellent communication, presentation, and contract negotiation skills.
• Deep business and financial acumen; able to develop ROI-driven proposals and defend value.
• Highly motivated, independent, and resilient; thrives in a fast-paced, target-driven environment.
