The Role

As a Senior Consultant in R&D, you will help customers bring treatments to patients faster by transforming how they work with Technology, Data, and AI.

  • Strategic Problem Solving: Solve complex challenges for Life Sciences leaders by leveraging Veeva’s unique data, software, and AI insights
  • Subject Matter Expertise: Support multiple projects across R&D while developing deep expertise in your specific practice

Requirements

  • Experience: 5+ years in Life Sciences Consulting (Business or Management Consulting preferred)
  • Domain Knowledge: Proven expertise in biopharma ClinOps, ClinData, Regulatory, Safety, or general R&D strategy
  • Analytical Rigor: A strong mindset for both quantitative and qualitative reasoning
