The Role
Are you ready to be the architect of digital transformation for the world's leading life sciences companies?

You will be instrumental in deploying Veeva Development and Quality Cloud solutions, helping pharmaceutical development companies transition to the next generation of digital excellence.
This is more than a consulting role, it's a chance to own the migration journey. You will serve as the primary subject matter expert, leveraging your deep knowledge of Vault API, migration tools, and platform best practices to ensure a seamless and successful transition. You will be a vital customer advocate, partnering across internal teams (Product, Sales, Strategy) to shape future solutions and drive continuous success.
This is a remote position within the EU/UK. We encourage qualified, EU/UK-based candidates to apply. Ability to travel up to 20% is required for client engagement (proximity to an airport is helpful).
