    Veeva Systems stands at the forefront of revolutionizing the life sciences industry, dedicated to accelerating the delivery of therapies to patients. Recognized as one of the fastest-growing SaaS companies in history, we achieved an impressive $2B in revenue in our last fiscal year and we see limitless growth opportunities on the horizon.

    Our core values drive every aspect of our organization: Doing the Right Thing, Customer Success, Employee Success, and Speed. In a landmark move, we became a public benefit corporation (PBC) in 2021, emphasizing our commitment to balancing the needs of our customers, employees, society, and investors.

    Embracing a flexible “Work Anywhere” policy, we empower you to choose your optimal work setting—be it remote or in the office—so you can excel in your preferred environment.

    Join us as we reimagine the life sciences sector, dedicated to creating a favorable impact for our customers, employees, and communities.

    We are on the lookout for passionate professionals to become integral members of the Veeva Business Consulting group focused on R&D—a key priority for our organization. Collaborating with senior leaders at 85% of the top 20 Pharmaceutical companies, our team defines and enhances the strategic significance of Regulatory Affairs, Clinical Strategy & Operations, and Quality and Safety (e.g., Pharmacovigilance).

    As a Consultant, you’ll be the driving force behind consulting projects, managing various workstreams for Veeva’s esteemed clientele in the R&D realm. Your role will encompass planning, organizing, and overseeing all facets of project delivery.

    What You Will Be Doing:

    • Lead and manage workstreams within project engagements, overseeing scope, quality, resources, risks, and timelines.
    • Spearhead the complete design, build, and delivery of project deliverables to meet predefined goals and objectives.

    • Establish trust-based relationships with customer stakeholders.
    • Provide your clients with valuable insights into industry trends and market dynamics.
    • Contribute to business development initiatives and proposals.
    • Aid in the creation and dissemination of thought leadership materials.

    Qualifications:
