Consulting is changing, and Veeva Business Consulting is not like other firms. Launched in 2019, we’ve grown quickly and organically to over 500 global experts who combine deep industry knowledge and unique insights to accelerate drug development and commercialization for our customers.

We are growing aggressively and seeking great people to help Life Sciences work in a more efficient and connected way, shaping the future of the industry with the world’s leading AI applications, agents, and data at their back.

The Role

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

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.
