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. You will focus on reshaping operating models, driving organizational change, and measuring tangible business value. R&D is a broad area that includes several distinct practices: Clinical Operations, Clinical Data Management, Regulatory, and Pharmacovigilance.  You will focus in one of these practices based on your background, interests, and needs of the business.  You will build credibility, depth, and relationships in that practice, but staffing will remain fungible across R&D and movement between practices is always permitted.

• Team Management: Lead project teams of 2–3 consultants, developing your people leadership skills in a project setting

• 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
