About The Role

The Senior Business Intelligence Analyst is a highly visible, hands-on individual contributor responsible for building and scaling AIM28's analytics, reporting, and value-realization measurement capabilities. Reporting to the AIM28 Finance Lead, this role will design and own end-to-end data models, ETL pipelines, dashboards, and automation solutions that transform complex, fragmented data into trusted insights for executives and program leaders. In addition, this role will support other strategic projects as required.

The ideal candidate combines deep technical expertise in SQL, data modeling, BI visualization, automation, and AI-enabled analytics with strong business and finance acumen. Operating as the sole analytics builder within the AIM28 Finance team, this person will create the program's single source of truth for KPI, benefit, investment, and value-realization reporting while driving self-service analytics, reporting automation, and AI-powered insights across the AIM28 portfolio.

The Senior Business Intelligence Analyst will lead the development of business intelligence, data visualization, analytics, and reporting automation for the AIM28 program and other strategic projects within U.S. Pharmaceutical Distribution (USPD). AIM28 is McKesson's AI-enabled transformation program, organized around a portfolio of Big Bets, each accountable for delivering measurable business outcomes. This role reports directly into the Sr. Director, Finance (AIM28). This role is the hands-on builder who turns Big Bet data into trusted, automated benefit and value-realization reporting for program leadership and senior executives. The source material varies: some data arrives raw and needs business logic before anyone can use it, some lives in manual files, and some is already visualized in dashboards the business teams built for themselves.

You will architect an AI-ready analytics and reporting model that pairs traditional dashboards with AI capabilities such as automated narratives and conversational agents, so stakeholders can self-serve and get to insight faster. Where data is raw, you will establish the transformation logic that makes it consumable. Where reporting lives in manual files or scattered dashboards, you will integrate and standardize it into Big Bet and AIM28 program-level solutions. This is a highly visible individual contributor role. We are looking for a builder with deep SQL proficiency, strong knowledge of data design, and the visualization and storytelling skill to brief senior executives. Expect problems to show up half-defined; your job is to turn them into reliable numbers and clear answers.

This role works under the direction of the AIM28 Finance Lead partnering with, Big Bet teams, the transformation office, and McKesson Technology to codify KPI definitions and benefit methodologies into governed data models. The goal is one version of the truth across the program.

This is a pure individual-contributor role embedded in Finance, not a role inside a BI or data engineering organization. There is no bench of other BIEs, analytics engineers, or data engineers to hand design, build, or troubleshooting off to, you own the full stack yourself, end to end. Because the role sits in Finance rather than Technology, you should also be comfortable working fluently in financial concepts: ROI, forecasting, variance-to-plan, and business-case logic, gained through direct experience partnering with a business finance or FP&A team.

Qualifications

• A builder's mindset. You take loosely defined problems, work out the business intent behind them, and deliver working solutions end to end: requirements, data model, pipeline, dashboard, adoption.
• Comfort with ambiguity and imperfect data. Raw extracts, manual spreadsheets, inconsistent definitions, and shifting requirements are the starting point here, not a blocker.
• Business acumen and financial literacy. You understand core finance concepts, ROI, forecasting, variance-to-plan, business-case logic well enough to hold your own in a finance conversation, not just translate what finance tells you. You have worked directly with a finance or FP&A team before, and you can sit with finance and business partners, understand benefit logic and business cases, and translate between data and business needs.
• Comfort as a standalone technical individual contributor. This role sits in Finance, not in a BI or data engineering organization. There is no dedicated BIE team, data engineering bench, or technical manager to lean on for design review, code review, or troubleshooting, you are the technical function for AIM28 reporting. You are comfortable being the only builder in the room and owning decisions end to end.
• A KPI and automation track record. You have developed and monitored KPIs that drive business decisions, and you have built automated reporting systems that replaced manual processes.
• Executive presence. You have experience communicating and presenting analytical results to senior leadership, in writing and in person.
• Ownership and judgment. You validate your own outputs, make pragmatic build-versus-reuse trade-offs, and earn trust by being right about the numbers.
• Organization and prioritization. You manage multiple concurrent workstreams across Big Bets without letting deliverables or timelines slip.
• Curiosity about AI. You are interested in applying GenAI and agents to reporting, and ideally you have already experimented with them.

Technical Skills

• Expert SQL: complex query development, window functions, and performance tuning on large, multi-dimensional datasets from multiple sources. You write queries that need little post-processing.
• Data modeling and
