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 a public benefit corporation (PBC), legally bound to balancing the interests of customers, employees, society, and investors.

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

Join us in transforming the life sciences industry, committed to making a positive impact on its customers, employees, and communities.

The Role

Do you enjoy innovating and developing novel approaches to project delivery? Inspiring great teams as they navigate new challenges? If so, come join our growing Project Management practice (part of Professional Services) at the forefront of complex Veeva Commercial Cloud projects.

You don’t have to be a life sciences expert: we’ll teach you our products and help you expand your skillset. What we really need is your background in project management, especially in delivering software implementation projects to key customers.

You’ll work side-by-side with customers, understanding their unique challenges and needs. You’ll be a customer advocate, working closely with other Veeva teams (Product, Sales, Strategy) to ensure customer success today and far into the future.

This is a remote, full-time permanent role with Veeva. This is a customer-facing role and we have no work location requirement if you are in close proximity to an airport and able to meet travel requirements.

Veeva Systems does not anticipate providing sponsorship for employment visa status (e.g., H-1B, OPT) for this employment position.
