Veeva Systems is a mission-driven organization and pioneer in industry cloud, helping life sciences companies bring therapies to patients faster. As one of the fastest-growing SaaS companies in history, we surpassed $3B in revenue in our last fiscal year with extensive growth potential ahead.
At the heart of Veeva are our values: Do the Right Thing,
Customer Success, Employee Success, and Speed. We're not just any public company – we made history in 2021 by becoming a
public benefit corporation (PBC), legally bound to balancing the interests of customers, employees, society, and investors.
As a
Work Anywhere company, we support your flexibility to work from home or in the office, so you can thrive in your ideal environment.
The Role
As VP of Engineering for a new product within Veeva, you will lead the team building our next major AI-driven platform — one that will transform how Life Sciences companies manage safety, regulatory, and clinical development.
You will build and grow this engineering organization from the ground up, with ownership of how the team works, hires, and ships. The team will be AI-first in two meaningful ways: using AI to drive engineering productivity and strong engineering discipline, and building a product that applies AI in genuinely innovative ways to problems that matter.
Within your first year, you will have live customers on the platform and a thriving, growing team behind it - directly accelerating how customers bring life-saving products to market.

Lead & Mentor: Recruit and cultivate a high-performing team of individual contributor engineers, inspiring individuals to achieve outsized impact through mentorship and support
Enhance Processes: Continuously define and establish development processes with heavy use of AI tooling as the team evolves, promoting agility and efficiency
Ship & Collaborate: Take ownership of product delivery end-to-end, working closely with product stakeholders to align on priorities and ship features that meet our strategic goals
Strategic Partner: Act as a trusted advisor to senior management, helping to navigate decisions and drive team alignment with broader organizational objectives
Requirements
Technical Expertise: Proven experience in software engineering management (10+ years) with a strong background in agile commercial software development, ideally in Python
AI Fluency: Experience building AI-powered products and leveraging AI tooling to accelerate engineering productivity
Problem Solver: A track record of delivering in ambiguous, high-stakes environments, with the ability to adapt quickly and contribute meaningfully
Dynamic Leader: Ability to motivate and inspire your team, instilling a sense of ownership and accountability
Mentorship Skills: Demonstrated success in sourcing, hiring, mentoring, and leading teams to achieve excellence
Technical Knowledge: Expertise in object-oriented design, application development tools, APIs, and/or cloud-native enterprise application platforms
Candidates located in Eastern, Central or Mountain Time zones are desirable (team will be mainly East Coast)
