Job description

Senior Data Operations Analyst - Health Data Terminology

Veeva Systems is a mission-driven organization and pioneer in industry cloud, helping life sciences companies bring therapies to patients faster. As one of the fastest-growing SaaS companies in history, we surpassed $2B in revenue in our last fiscal year with extensive growth potential ahead.

At the heart of Veeva are our values: Do the Right Thing, Customer Success, Employee Success, and Speed. We're not just any public company – we made history in 2021 by becoming apublic benefit corporation (PBC), legally bound to balancing the interests of customers, employees, society, and investors.

As aWork Anywhere company, we support your flexibility to work from home or in the office, so you can thrive in your ideal environment.

As a Senior Data Operations Analyst on the Veeva Compass Product Team, you will play a key role in supporting the core data structures and processes that drive our Master Data Management (MDM) system—essential to the success of the Compass suite of data products. You’ll contribute to data governance initiatives that ensure consistency, integrity, and high-quality standards across the platform.

You will be responsible for driving data quality, consistency, standardization, and governance within the Terminology Reference Library (TRL), Veeva’s Master Data Management (MDM) system for health data terminologies used by Compass. TRL includes foundational reference data such as drug information, ICD-10 diagnosis codes, procedure and lab codes, and payer and plan data. While you won’t directly administer the MDM system, you’ll act as a power user and subject matter expert—collaborating with system owners, engineers, and product managers to define requirements, support the onboarding of new data types, and identify areas for improvement. Your contributions will help ensure our reference data stays accurate, consistent, and well-integrated across our products.

This role is well-suited for someone with a strong understanding of MDM principles and lifecycle, who has worked with MDM systems in a user or subject matter expert capacity, and is passionate about data quality and governance.

What You'll Do

• Support the implementation of MDM-related strategies and practices that help ensure high-quality, consistent, and standardized reference data across Compass products
• Contribute to data governance efforts by helping define and maintain standards, documentation, and stewardship models for master health data domains
• Develop a deep understanding of key health data domains—such as drugs, diagnoses, procedures, labs, and payers—to define data quality metrics and monitor performance
• Analyze data sets to identify quality issues and partner with engineering and product teams to design and implement solutions
• Create and maintain clear documentation of data dictionaries, taxonomies, definitions, attributes, and mappings across internal and external data sources
• Collaborate with Compass Product Managers and Engineers to support scalable, automated data processes that ensure trusted data delivery
• Assist in bringing new data sources into the Terminology Reference Library (TRL), Veeva’s MDM system, and improve existing data categories, while also handling routine operations to ensure information remains accurate and up to date

Requirements

• Demonstrated experience supporting or contributing to data governance efforts, including defining data standards, taxonomies, naming conventions, and documentation to improve data quality and consistency
• Familiarity with master data management (MDM) concepts and experience working with MDM systems (e.g., Veeva Network, Informatica) in a user or stakeholder role
• Hands-on experience onboarding new data sources, including data profiling, metadata assessment, validation, and quality control
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with experience designing or supporting processes for managing reference or master data across systems
• Experience working with healthcare terminology data such as ICD-10, CPT/HCPCS, and NDC
• Proficient in SQL for querying, analyzing, and validating large data sets
• Comfortable collaborating across teams to define data requirements and support ongoing improvements to data quality and reliability

Nice to Have

• Advanced Excel (XLOOKUPs, Pivot Tables, Etc.)
• Experience working in Veeva Network
• Experience working in AWS
• Experience in the Life Sciences industry
• Medical, dental, vision, and basic life insurance
• Flexible PTO and company paid holidays
• 1% charitable giving program

Work Where It’s Best for You

Work Anywhere means you can work in an office or at home on any given day. It’s about getting the work done in the way and place that works best for each person. This applies across all locations and departments.

Work Anywhere does not mean work at any time. We have predictable core hours where employees are generally available for meetings and collaboration. Employees are focused and available during core hours.

We invest in our offices to make them places where our employees like to go. If you work in the office three or more days a week, you will have a dedicated office workspace. Our offices function as hubs to draw people in, create social bonds, and where random connections and mixing of ideas happen. We’re investing more in offices, culture, and offsite meetings, not less.

Product teams are organized in regional product hubs for optimal collaboration and live within a time zone of their hub. Our current product hubs are located in Pleasanton, Columbus, Boston, Kansas City, New York City, Raleigh, and Toronto. We create opportunities for teams to get together in person regularly.

Customer-facing roles, such as Sales and Professional Services, live near and/or travel to their customers.

When an employee moves within a country it does not cause a change in salary. Where you live impacts you and your family. Not knowing if your compensation will change if you move can cause stress and uncertainty for everyone. We wanted to eliminate that.

Work at Veeva. Work where it’s best for you.

A different kind of company. A Public Benefit Corporation.

Unlike a traditional corporation, whose only legal duty is to maximize shareholder value, PBCs consider their public benefit purpose and the interests of those materially affected by the corporation’s conduct—including customers, employees, and the community—in addition to shareholders’ interests.

What sets us apart

In February 2021, Veeva became the first public company to convert to a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC).

Unlike a traditional corporation, whose only legal duty is to maximize shareholder value, PBCs consider their public benefit purpose and the interests of those materially affected by the corporation’s conduct—including customers, employees, and the community—in addition to shareholders’ interests.

Veeva’s public benefit purpose is to help make the industries we serve more productive and create high-quality employment opportunities.

“Veeva’s engineering teams take a pragmatic approach to software development. We offer an ideal environment for engineers who value focus, speed and integrity in their work.”
