Job description

Veeva Systems is building the industry cloud for Life Sciences to help companies work in a more efficient and connected way. Learn more about our products, vision and values, and status as a public benefit corporation on our website.

Consulting is changing, and we’re not like other firms. Veeva Business Consulting was launched in 2019 and has grown quickly and organically to a global organization of over 400 people. Our team is focused on making the life sciences industry more efficient and effective through software, data, and consulting working together.

We expect significant growth in Business Consulting as we look towards 2030 and are looking for great people to make it happen.

The Role

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

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, equipping you with the resources to drive your growth as a Business Consultant and future leader.

Early in the program, you will collaborate with experienced team members on customer-facing engagements to create high-impact business solutions.

Our Analytics team builds effective business strategies for Life Sciences customers by leveraging Veeva’s comprehensive and unique industry data, Data Cloud, as well as other industry data sets. We inform our customers to be more accurate in their targeting and segmentation, field team activation, and understanding of patient and healthcare professional behaviors.

The anticipated start date is July 2026.

Candidates should only apply to one Generation Veeva program.

What You’ll Do

• Support and deliver all components of customer engagements (e.g., customer communications, workshops, stakeholder interviews, data analysis, managing timelines)
• Leverage data and analytics to deliver insights and business solutions, powered by Veeva’s Data Cloud
• Collaborate with Business Consultants to create deliverables that optimize customer operating and engagement models, process, and analytics

Requirements

We are looking for graduates who meet the following requirements:

• Desire to work within an intense, challenging program and environment
• An analytical type of person who loves digging into numbers and other data to find insights
• Bachelors degree with strong academic performance
• Recent university graduate (up to 2 years postgraduate experience maximum)
• Fluent in written and spoken English
• Basic understanding of SQL, Python, or a comparable coding language
• High work ethic. Veeva is a hard-working company
• High integrity and honesty. Veeva is a PBC and a “do the right thing” company and we expect that from all employees
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Willingness to travel up to 20% of your time per year. Travel varies per customer engagement, coworking, internal meetings and events with your team

The Process

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

• You submit your resume, short cover letter of questions, and take a personality test
• Within one week we will notify you via email if we would like to go to the next step or not
• The next step is a 60-minute job skills interview followed by a case exercise. You will have one week to prepare for the case exercise
• Within one week after this step, we will give you an offer or let you know that we do not wish to move forward
• You will have two weeks to accept our offer or not. If you accept, we will hold a spot for you and expect you to show up on your start date. Accepting an offer and continuing to interview would be an ethical violation in our view

Compensation

• Starting Salary: 45,000 £
• After one year, if you perform well, you will receive a significant salary increase and be granted equity

Work Authorization: Qualified candidates must be legally authorized to be employed in the United Kingdom. Veeva is unable to provide sponsorship for employment visas for this position.

Work Environment: Veeva is a Work Anywhere company. You can choose to work in an office or remotely from home on any given day of the week - it’s up to you!
