Associate Technical Consultant - Entry-Level Consulting (Life Sciences)

Associate Technical Consultant – Entry-Level Consulting (Life Sciences)

Start your career as an Associate Technical Consultant in a development program designed to accelerate your career. This is not your traditional technical analyst role. If you have coding skills and want to be customer-facing, this role is for you!

At Veeva, you'll work directly with pharmaceutical and biotech companies to solve complex business challenges using cutting-edge technology. Learn fast, take on real responsibility, and make a tangible impact from day one.

We are hiring recent graduates to grow the next generation of technical consultants through our Consultant Development Program (CDP) – an entry-level role designed to accelerate your career.

In this high-impact, customer-facing position, you'll specialise in integration, custom development, data migration, DevOps, and Veeva AI. Unlike traditional entry-level technical roles that focus heavily on testing and debugging, you will be hands-on with code and delivering tangible technical solutions that customers use every day.

We believe in empowering high potential people to achieve excellence. You'll be hands-on from day one – learning fast, contributing early, and taking on meaningful responsibility. This program will build the core consulting and technical expertise you need for long-term career success.

Now hiring for our October 2026 and July 2027 start dates.
