As Nurse Team Lead within a Patient Support Program, you will provide clinical guidance and peer leadership to nurses supporting patients across Canada. This is an experienced individual-contributor role with no direct reports. You will work independently as a clinical resource, help colleagues navigate complex patient needs, support onboarding, and contribute a nursing perspective to quality and process-improvement initiatives. The role does not carry a dedicated patient portfolio;
however, you may provide direct nursing or case-management support when operational coverage is required.
**What You’ll Do:*** Provide day-to-day clinical guidance, coaching, and peer support to Nurse Case Managers and other nursing colleagues.* Assess complex patient situations, identify when additional intervention is needed, and guide appropriate escalation of clinical, safety, quality, compliance, or operational concerns.* Provide flexible nursing and case-management coverage across Canadian jurisdictions where appropriately licensed, including during increased volumes, absences, vacancies, or other business needs.* Support the clinical onboarding and integration of new nursing team members through coaching, shadowing, knowledge transfer, and reinforcement of program processes.* Collaborate with patients, physicians’ offices, pharmacies, service providers, clients, and internal partners to coordinate services and resolve issues.* Review patient case documentation for completeness, consistency, and alignment with program requirements, policies, work instructions, and service standards.* Identify workflow gaps and recommend practical improvements that strengthen patient experience, service quality, efficiency, and operational continuity.* Contribute to program projects and technology implementations, including nursing input, quality-assurance testing, workflow design, change adoption, and training support.* Support audit readiness, quality reviews, continuing education, client initiatives, and program meetings.* Communicate responsively during scheduled working hours and proactively raise issues that may affect patient care, workload, or service delivery.
**Basic Requirements:*** College diploma or university degree in nursing, or an equivalent combination of education and relevant experience.* **Active registration in good standing as a Registered Nurse (RN) or Registered Practical Nurse (RPN) with the applicable Ontario regulatory college.*** **4+ years of relevant nursing experience.*** Demonstrated experience providing clinical assessment, patient support, case management, or care coordination.* Demonstrated ability to work independently, apply clinical judgment, manage competing priorities, and adapt to changing workflows, schedules, and technology.* **Ability to work flexible shifts within the program’s operating hours of 8:00 a.M. to 8:00 p.M. EST.**
**Preferred Skills/Experience:*** Experience in a Patient Support Program, specialty pharmaceuticals, specialty pharmacy, reimbursement support, or a related healthcare environment.* Experience mentoring, coaching, onboarding, or training nurses without formal people-management responsibility.* Experience supporting quality improvement, process improvement, clinical operations, technology implementation, user acceptance testing, or change adoption.* Bilingual communication skills in English and French. Candidates who support patients in Quebec must hold the applicable Quebec nursing registration.* Ability to obtain and maintain nursing registration in additional Canadian provinces as program needs evolve.* Strong written and verbal communication skills and the ability to build effective relationships with patients, healthcare professionals, clients, and cross-functional teams.
**Travel, Work Location & Physical Requirements:*** This is a hybrid/flexible role that is primarily performed from a home office when the employee is not travelling.* **Occasional business travel is required for conferences and client meetings, including meetings in Burlington, Ontario.** Required business travel is reimbursed in accordance with company policy.* Candidates must be able to perform computer-based work and participate in virtual meetings for extended periods. Any additional physical requirements should be confirmed before posting if they are essential to the role.We are proud to offer a competitive compensation package at McKesson as part of our Total Rewards.
