About the Role

We’re looking for an experienced Migration Lead to support a large-scale Veeva Vault transformation across multiple EU sites.

You’ll take ownership of the end-to-end data and document migration process – from defining the approach to ensuring everything moves smoothly and compliantly into the Veeva environment.

This role suits someone who understands both the technical side of data migration and the regulatory context life sciences companies operate in. You’ll be the bridge between business, IT, and third-party partners to make sure the migration is accurate, validated, and delivered on time.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead all aspects of the migration workstream within a wider Veeva programme.
• Develop and deliver the migration plan, timelines, and validation approach.
• Oversee data mapping, transformation, extraction, and loading into Veeva Vault.
• Work closely with Regulatory, Quality, Clinical, and IT teams to ensure business and compliance needs are met.
• Manage dry runs, testing, and UAT cycles, and coordinate validation documentation (IQ / OQ / PQ).
• Troubleshoot migration issues, data gaps, and quality problems, escalating where needed.
• Liaise with Veeva Professional Services and other implementation partners to stay aligned with best practice.
• Support data reconciliation and post-go-live verification activities.

What We’re Looking For

• 5–8+ years’ experience in data or content migrations within the life sciences industry.
• Previous experience leading or contributing to a Veeva Vault migration (Quality, Regulatory, Clinical, or Commercial).
• Hands‑on knowledge of Veeva Vault Loader, APIs, or other ETL tools (e.g. Boomi, Informatica, Talend).
• Strong understanding of GxP, 21 CFR Part 11, Annex 11, and cloud system validation.
• Excellent stakeholder and vendor management skills.
• Confident working with complex datasets and metadata.
• Fluent in English; additional EU language(s) a bonus.
• Able to work within the EU and travel occasionally as required.

Nice to Have

• Experience working across multiple Vault modules.
• Familiarity with IDMP, SPOR, or controlled vocabularies.
• Understanding of data governance frameworks or Agile project delivery.
• Background in wider digital or regulatory transformation projects.
