McKesson HR is standing up a new capability to help HR move manual, fragmented processes to scalable, AI-enabled workflows. The HR AI Process Engineer identifies, designs, deploys, and continuously improves HR processes using automation and agent-based tools to drive efficiency and consistency, while enabling a simple employee experience. This role focuses on translating real HR work into practical, deployable solutions that become a reliable, repeatable part of how HR operates. It is the "readiness" half of a two-person model: the Process Engineer finds the opportunity and gets the process build-ready, working hand in hand with another role, the People AI Solutions Designer, who builds the solution.Key Responsibilities

Design & Simplify Workflows for Automation (20%)
