Job description

Veeva’s Consultant Development Program (CDP) is an accelerated pathway that transforms early-career professionals into high-impact consultants who deliver cloud and AI solutions, helping global Life Sciences companies bring life-changing therapies to patients.

The Role

You’ll work hands‑on with innovative technology, collaborating directly with internal teams and external customers, implementing our products to solve complex business challenges. In this role, you’ll learn our industry‑leading cloud platforms and work with cutting‑edge AI solutions to transform how life sciences companies operate. Empowered from day one by a team‑first culture, you will accelerate your career growth as a technical consultant who thrives in an environment where we work hard for our customers and each other.

Start Dates: October 2026 and April 2027

The Program

As part of the Consultant Development Program, you will:

• Ramp up quickly. Your journey begins with an intensive, team‑based onboarding program that combines hands‑on learning, transparent feedback, and active collaboration to develop the consulting skills and industry knowledge to make an impact right away.
• Learn by doing. You won't be watching from the sidelines. You will take on real responsibility and work directly with customers to solve problems within your first three months.
• Thrive together. Grow alongside a supportive team of seasoned leaders and peers who actively champion your development through open communication and actionable feedback.
• Build your future. Advance from Associate to Consultant in less than 2 years. More importantly, you’ll develop the foundation for a successful, long‑term career where you can continually expand your technical expertise, lead complex projects, and evolve with our global and diverse team.

What You’ll Do

As part of our Professional Services team, you are a strategic partner guiding customers through implementation. We will teach you how our software works, and you will use that knowledge to design, configure, and deliver solutions that drive real business value. Your day‑to‑day will involve:

• Designing & tailoring the software: You will lead the configuration of our platform to fit each customer's unique business model—setting up workflows, structuring data, and aligning system capabilities to requirements.
• Conducting discovery workshops: You will lead interactive discovery workshops with customer stakeholders to gather business requirements, map out existing workflows, and translate their vision into actionable technical specifications for deployment.
• Managing project scope & execution: You will take ownership of core implementation deliverables by scoping requirements, building timeline estimates, and keeping project milestones on track from kick‑off through go‑live.
• Guiding the customer as an expert: You will lead the customer with best practices to ensure their business processes are optimized for maximum long‑term value on our products.

What We Are Looking For | We are open to graduates of a variety of backgrounds and look for a specific mindset:

• Drive: You thrive in a challenging, intense environment that rewards initiative and rapid learning.
• Curiosity: You have a genuine desire to be hands‑on with software and master new technologies.
• Communication: You are fluent in English with excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Analytical Mindset: You are a strong critical thinker with a proven track record of academic performance (in any degree/field of study).
• Integrity: Veeva is a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) and a "do the right thing" company and we expect that from all employees.
• Work Ethic: A commitment to excellence and passion for working hard to achieve results.
• Travel: Willingness to travel as needed (up to 20‑30% of the time).
• Experience: We are open to graduates of Bachelors or Masters programs (up to 2 years postgraduate experience maximum)

What We Offer

• Starting Annual Salary: 40,000 GBP. Perform well, and in one year you’ll receive a compensation increase and participate in our bonus program.

Hybrid Work Environment: We require Associate Consultants to live within reasonable commuting distance from Veeva's London office giving you easy access to in‑person collaboration and support, skill development, and social opportunities as you launch your career.
