Job description

Veeva is the industry cloud for Life Sciences. We are enabling agentic biopharma through applications, agents, data, and consulting working together. Learn more about our products, vision, values, and status as a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) on our website.

Consulting is changing, and Veeva Business Consulting is not like other firms. Launched in 2019, we’ve grown quickly and organically to over 500 global experts who combine deep industry knowledge and unique insights to accelerate drug development and commercialization for our customers.

We are growing aggressively and seeking great people to help Life Sciences work in a more efficient and connected way, shaping the future of the industry with the world’s leading AI applications, agents, and data at their back.

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. Designed as an alternative to earning an MBA, this program shapes experienced professionals into Business Consultants capable of making an impact for the Life Sciences industry.

Business Consulting spans five core practice areas: Analytics, Commercial, Content, R&D, and Quality.

As a part of Master Class, you will align to one of those practices, allowing you to build targeted industry expertise. You will be asked to choose your preferred practice in the application process.

Early in the program, you will own key workstreams on customer-facing engagements within your practice, creating tailored solutions while collaborating with Veeva team members at all levels. You will be given the tools and resources to accelerate your consulting skills development.

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

The anticipated start date is March 2027.

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

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• A problem-solving mindset: anticipating issues early, analyzing, and proactively finding solutions
• A process-driven person who loves digging into operations, numbers, and other data to find opportunities for improvement
• 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:

• Application: You submit your resume, short cover letter of questions, and take a personality test (unless you have already completed it with Veeva previously). Within one week we will notify you via email if we would like to move you to the next stage
• Leader Interview: The next step is an interview with a leader of the practice
• Case Exercise: If we proceed, you will be invited to complete a case exercise within a week
• Offer:Within one week after completing your case exercise, we will extend you an offer or let you know that we do not wish to move forward. You will have two weeks to make your final decision.
