To be eligible for the role you must be willing and able to relocate and work long-term at one of our hub locations.

The Role

You’ll work hands-on with innovative technology, collaborating directly with internal teams and external customers, implementing our products to solve complex business challenges. In this role, you’ll learn our industry-leading cloud platforms and work with cutting-edge AI solutions to transform how life sciences companies operate. Empowered from day one by a team-first culture, you will accelerate your career growth as a technical consultant who thrives in an environment where we work hard for our customers and each other. Start Dates: April 2027 and September 2027

The Program

As part of the Consultant Development Program, you will:

  • Ramp up quickly. Your journey begins with an intensive, team-based onboarding program that combines hands-on learning, transparent feedback, and active collaboration to develop the consulting skills and industry knowledge to make an impact right away.
  • Learn by doing. You won't be watching from the sidelines. You will take on real responsibility and work directly with customers to solve problems within your first three months.
  • Thrive together. Grow alongside a supportive team of seasoned leaders and peers who actively champion your development through open communication and actionable feedback.
  • Build your future. Advance from Associate to Consultant in less than 2 years. More importantly, you’ll develop the foundation for a successful, long-term career where you can continually expand your technical expertise, lead complex projects, and evolve with our global and diverse team.
  • What You'll Do

    As part of our Professional Services team, you are a strategic partner guiding customers through implementation. We will teach you how our software works, and you will use that knowledge to design, configure, and deliver solutions that drive real business value. Your day-to-day will involve:

  • Designing & tailoring the software: You will lead the configuration of our platform to fit each customer's unique business model—setting up workflows, structuring data, and aligning system capabilities to requirements.
  • Conducting discovery workshops: You will lead interactive discovery workshops with customer stakeholders to gather business requirements, map out existing workflows, and translate their vision into actionable technical specifications for deployment.
  • Managing project scope & execution: You will take ownership of core implementation deliverables by scoping requirements, building timeline estimates, and keeping project milestones on track from kick-off through go-live.
  • Guiding the customer as an expert: You will lead the customer with best practices to ensure their business processes are optimized for maximum long-term value on our products.
  • What We Are Looking For | We don’t require a specific academic background, tech skills, or life sciences experience. We require a specific mindset:

  • Drive: You thrive in a challenging, intense environment that rewards initiative and rapid learning.
  • Curiosity: You have a genuine desire to be hands-on with software and master new technologies.
  • Communication: You are fluent in English with excellent verbal and written communication skills.
  • Analytical Mindset: You are a strong critical thinker with a proven track record of academic performance (in any degree/field of study).
  • Integrity: Veeva is a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) and a “do the right thing” company and 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: We are open to graduates of Bachelors or Masters programs (up to 2 years postgraduate experience maximum)
  • How We Hire | Our process is different from most. It is designed to be fast, efficient and respectful. Here are the steps:

  • Apply: Submit your resume, a short cover letter, and take a quick personality test.
  • Fast Response: We will notify you of your next step typically within one week.
  • Interview & Case: Interview with a Veeva leader. If successful, we will give you a real-world scenario (with 3 days to prepare) to present to our team.
  • Offer: We make decisions quickly—usually within a week of your final presentation.
  • What We Offer

  • Starting Annual Salary: 28,000 - 48,000 EUR
  • Perform well, and in one year you’ll receive a compensation increase and participate in our bonus program.
  • Hybrid Work Environment: We require Associate Consultants to live within reasonable commuting distance from Veeva's Hub locations as listed above.
