At the heart of Veeva are our values: Do the Right Thing, Customer Success, Employee Success, and Speed.

The Role

Join Veeva as we bring the power of modern, cloud-based digital validation to the industry. As Director, Validation Management Strategy, you’ll lead the expansion of Veeva’s Validation Management across North America – helping life sciences companies digitize and manage their Commissioning, Qualification, and Validation (CQV) processes through a unified, cloud-based platform.

We are seeking a leader who can direct the convergence of sales, marketing, products, and services into a cohesive vision for the market, turning that vision into measurable growth. This individual has a deep understanding of the technical and regulatory requirements supporting the qualification of the physical manufacturing environment across facilities, utilities, equipment, and the validation of complex analytical and production processes.

In this role, you’ll act as a trusted advisor and industry thought leader, building executive relationships and guiding customers on their journey from paper-heavy binders or paper-on-glass point solutions to a data-centric digital solution. Through this partnership, you will position Veeva Validation Management as the category-defining solution for next-generation validation management.

This is a work anywhere, full-time permanent role with Veeva. Our work processes are designed so that you can be productive in the environment that works best for you. 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 future travel requirements.
