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 high potential people who are early in their careers and want to pivot into Life Sciences Consulting through our Master Class Program.

Breaking into business consulting after starting your career down a different path can be hard. As an alternative to an MBA, this program is intentionally designed as the entry path to shape experienced professionals as Business Consultants capable of making an impact for the Life Sciences industry.

Early in the program, you will own key workstreams on customer‑facing engagements to create high‑impact business solutions while collaborating with team members at all levels of Veeva. You will be given the tools and resources to accelerate your consulting skills development.

Our Business Consulting team builds effective business and operational improvement strategies powered by Veeva’s unique industry insights, and market‑leading technology. Our offerings are focused on speeding drug development, launching treatments more effectively, and shaping the best engagement for our customers.

If you’re graduating with an advanced degree or have 3‑5 years of industry experience and are excited to pivot your career into consulting for a critical industry, Master Class is for you.

The anticipated start date is April 2026.

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 optimise customer operating and engagement models, process, and analytics

Requirements

We are looking for people who meet the following requirements:

• 3‑5 years of experience from one of the following paths: Life Sciences Industry experience; Advanced Degree (PhD, PharmD, MD); or Other non‑Consulting work experience
• Desire to work within an intense, challenging program and environment
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• An analytical type of person who loves digging into numbers and other data to find insights
• A problem‑solving mindset: anticipating issues early, analysing, and proactively finding solutions
• 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
• 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 45‑minute interview with the Executive Leader of the practice, 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

Work Authorization

Qualified candidates must be legally authorised 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. There is no requirement to live near a Veeva office if a candidate is in proximity to an airport and able to meet travel requirements.
