Job description

Start your career as an Associate Technical Consultant in a development program designed to accelerate your career. This is not your traditional technical analyst role. If you have coding skills and want to be customer‑facing, this role is for you!

At Veeva, you’ll work directly with pharmaceutical and biotech companies to solve complex business challenges using cutting‑edge technology. Learn fast, take on real responsibility, and make a tangible impact from day one.

Candidates should only apply to one Generation Veeva Program.

The Technical Services Role

We are hiring recent graduates to grow the next generation of technical consultants through our Consultant Development Program (CDP) – an entry‑level role designed to accelerate your career.

In this high‑impact, customer‑facing position, you’ll specialise in integration, custom development, data migration, DevOps, and Veeva AI. Unlike traditional entry‑level technical roles that focus heavily on testing and debugging, you will be hands‑on with code and delivering tangible technical solutions that customers use every day.

We believe in empowering high potential people to achieve excellence. You’ll be hands‑on from day one – learning fast, contributing early, and taking on meaningful responsibility. This program will build the core consulting and technical expertise you need for long‑term career success.

Now hiring for our October 2026 start dates.

• Work directly with customers and project teams, providing technical expertise on Veeva’s applications, Vault Platform, APIs, and Java SDK.
• Develop custom code, configure Veeva software and contribute to solution design under the guidance of experienced technical and migration architects; support content and data migration.
• Build cutting edge tools used by the Veeva Services team globally.

• Education: Bachelor's degree in computer science or related field with strong academic performance
• Technical Foundation: Demonstrated experience in Object‑Oriented Programming.
• Communication: Excellent technical storytelling skills; you enjoy explaining why a specific technical architecture or decision is right for a customer
• Drive: Thrive in a challenging, intense environment that rewards initiative and rapid learning.
• Analytical Mindset: Strong critical thinking skills and proven track record of academic performance.
• Integrity: Veeva is a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) and a “do the right thing” company; 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: Recent university graduate (up to 2 years postgraduate experience maximum)

• Languages: Experience with Python, Java, JavaScript, or SQL.
• Cloud: Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS/Azure).
• AI Tools: Experience using AI‑powered development tools or CLI assistants (e.g., Claude Code, Gemini CLI, or similar).

1. Application: Submit your resume, short cover letter, and take a personality test.
2. Initial Response: Within one week, we will notify you of your next step via email.
3. Interview & Technical Challenge: The next step is a 60‑minute interview with a Veeva leader, followed by a 30‑minute technical challenge delivered via Coderpad.
4. Case: After the coding challenge, there is a case exercise with a member of our services team. You will have three days to prepare for the case exercise.
5. Decision: Within one week, we will extend an offer or let you know that we are not moving forward.
6. Commitment: You will have two weeks to accept your offer. We value commitment; once you accept, we will hold a spot for you and expect you to join us on your start date. Accepting an offer and continuing to interview would be an ethical violation in our view.
