Job description

Associate Business Consultant - R&D and Quality

Veeva Systems is a mission-driven organization and pioneer in industry cloud, helping life sciences companies bring therapies to patients faster. As one of the fastest-growing SaaS companies in history, we surpassed $2B in revenue in our last fiscal year with extensive growth potential ahead.

At the heart of Veeva are our values: Do the Right Thing, Customer Success, Employee Success, and Speed. We're not just any public company – we made history in 2021 by becoming a public benefit corporation (PBC), legally bound to balancing the interests of customers, employees, society, and investors.

Join us in transforming the life sciences industry, committed to making a positive impact on its customers, employees, and communities.

The Role

Veeva is seeking driven new graduates eager to grow a career with us. Generation Veeva is a global organization that offers multiple development programs and career paths. Workshops, mentors, career path planning, and on-the-job learning drive your career development with Veeva.

Associate Business Consultants join our Business Consultant Development Program (BCDP). The role and program are specifically designed to expedite and challenge the growth of recent grads interested in supporting Life Sciences organizations (Pharma and Biotech) by driving innovation and partnership in the industry.

Our R&D and Quality teams help the industry to generate continuous and sustainable innovation across the full R&D value chain (Clinical, Regulatory, Quality, and Safety) through organizational design, change management, and technology value realization. If you have curiosity about how strategy, data, and technology in the R&D space can improve industries that impact our everyday lives, we encourage you to apply!

We also hire Associate Business Consultants in Germany and Spain. Please visit our Careers website to apply for these countries should they be of more interest and/or better meet your legal work authorization status.

The anticipated start date for this role is July 2025.

Veeva is a Work Anywhere company: you choose the environment that works best for you - on any given day. Whether you choose to work remotely from home or work in an office - it’s up to you. Although Veeva is Work from Anywhere, Associate Business Consultants must live within a maximum commuting distance of 45 minutes to 1 hour from the London coworking space.

What You'll Do

• Learn how to create end-to-end business solutions and deliverables that deliver quality customer outcomes
• Collaborate with Senior Business Consultants supporting key deliverables and timelines on customer-facing engagements
• Gain an understanding of standard offerings and contribute to the Veeva R&D and Quality Business Consulting teams
• Conduct research to build industry and customer knowledge used to deliver consulting programs and business development
• Support customers to realize the value of Veeva Development Cloud software

Requirements

• University Degree (Bachelor's) with strong academic performance
• Don't have a university degree? That's OK if you have the equivalent skills gained through work experience or disciplined self-study
• 0-2 years' of professional experience
• Basic to Intermediate Microsoft Office skills (PPT and Excel)
• Ability to take business and technical concepts and express them as potential strategic solutions
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Desire to work in an intense, fast-paced environment
• Ability to manage time in person and remotely, prioritize and meet deadlines
• Willingness to commute to your Hub when asked. Typical requests would include project co-working or program team commitments that require being in person.
• Willingness to travel up to roughly 40% of your time per year. Travel varies per customer engagement and internal meetings and events with your team.

Nice to Have

• Degree in Life Sciences, Biomedical Engineering, Engineering, STEM field, or another similar degree/work experience/Master’s degree

Work Where It’s Best for You

Work Anywhere means you can work in an office or at home on any given day. It’s about getting the work done in the way and place that works best for each person. This applies across all locations and departments.

Work Anywhere does not mean work at any time. We have predictable core hours where employees are generally available for meetings and collaboration. Employees are focused and available during core hours.

We invest in our offices to make them places where our employees like to go. If you work in the office three or more days a week, you will have a dedicated office workspace. Our offices function as hubs to draw people in, create social bonds, and where random connections and mixing of ideas happen. We’re investing more in offices, culture, and offsite meetings, not less.

Product teams are organized in regional product hubs for optimal collaboration and live within a time zone of their hub. Our current product hubs are located in Pleasanton, Columbus, Boston, Kansas City, New York City, Raleigh, and Toronto. We create opportunities for teams to get together in person regularly.

Customer-facing roles, such as Sales and Professional Services, live near and/or travel to their customers.

When an employee moves within a country it does not cause a change in salary. Where you live impacts you and your family. Not knowing if your compensation will change if you move can cause stress and uncertainty for everyone. We wanted to eliminate that.

Work at Veeva. Work where it’s best for you.

A different kind of company. A Public Benefit Corporation.

Unlike a traditional corporation, whose only legal duty is to maximize shareholder value, PBCs consider their public benefit purpose and the interests of those materially affected by the corporation’s conduct—including customers, employees, and the community—in addition to shareholders’ interests.

What sets us apart

In February 2021, Veeva became the first public company to convert to a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC).

Unlike a traditional corporation, whose only legal duty is to maximize shareholder value, PBCs consider their public benefit purpose and the interests of those materially affected by the corporation’s conduct—including customers, employees, and the community—in addition to shareholders’ interests.

Veeva’s public benefit purpose is to help make the industries we serve more productive and create high-quality employment opportunities.

“Veeva’s engineering teams take a pragmatic approach to software development. We offer an ideal environment for engineers who value focus, speed and integrity in their work.”
