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 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.

The anticipated start date is July 2026.

What You'll Do

• Support and deliver all components of customer engagements (e.g., customer communications, workshops, stakeholder interviews, process and data analysis, managing timelines)

• Collaborate with Business Consultants to create deliverables that optimize customer operating and engagement models, processes, and business performance

• Leverage Veeva’s software and data to pull through tangible business and operational solutions

REQUIREMENTS | We are looking for graduates who meet the following requirements:

• Desire to work within an intense, challenging program and environment

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills

• A process-driven person who loves digging into operations, numbers, and other data to find opportunities for improvement

• Bachelors degree with strong academic performance

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

• 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: 45,500 €

• After one year, if you perform well, you will receive a significant salary increase and be granted equity
