Job description

The Role

We are hiring recent university graduates to grow the next generation of consultants through our Business Consultant Development Program (BCDP).

We believe in pushing high potential people to achieve excellence. Our program is specifically designed to provide a challenging environment to learn quickly and deliver value early.

In our structured 20 month program, we equip you with the resources to develop the core consulting skills, deep domain expertise, and leadership foundation for long-term career success at Veeva.

BCDP spans five core practice areas: Analytics, Commercial, Content, R&D, and Quality. As an Associate Consultant you will align to one of those practices, allowing you to build targeted industry expertise. You will be asked to choose your preferred practice in the application process.

You can learn more about our practices and the work we do here.

The anticipated start date is September 2027.

What You'll Do

• Support and deliver all components of customer engagements (e.g., customer communications, workshops, stakeholder interviews, process and data analysis, managing timelines)
• Collaborate with Business Consultants to create deliverables that optimize customer operating and engagement models, processes, and business performance
• Leverage Veeva's software and data to pull through tangible business and operational solutions

• Desire to work within an intense, challenging program and environment
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• A process-driven person who loves digging into operations, numbers, and other data to find opportunities for improvement
• Upcoming 2027 university graduate with strong academic performance

THE PROCESS | Our process is different than most. It is designed to be fast, efficient and respectful. Here are the steps:
