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, 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 September 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

• 3-5 years of experience from one of the following paths: Life Sciences Industry experience; Advanced Degree (PhD, PharmD, MD); Other non-Consulting work experience; or Veteran/Military Service
• Desire to work within an intense, challenging program and environment
• 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

Compensation
