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 $2B 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.

Join us in transforming the life sciences industry, committed to making a positive impact on its customers, employees, and communities.
The Role
Veeva Certifications validate the knowledge and expertise of administrators using Veeva technology, services, and data products. Thousands of valuable credentials have been earned by Veeva customers, partners, and employees looking to gain job-ready skills, build confidence, and advance their careers. In this role, you will assume ownership responsibility of our current program, and implement strategies to both grow the type of credentials we offer and innovate the methods we use to assess skill and performance-based competence.
A successful candidate in this role has a successful track record leading the definition of a modern credentialing program for a range of learner personas. You can articulate the importance of reliable, fair, and relevant assessment. Candidates will be well versed in managing exam development and publishing processes as well as driving go-to-market motions associated with high-volume assessment programs. You will work closely with the curriculum development organization to align on shared personas and job-task analyses as inputs to exam and course development. An entrepreneurial attitude and passion to innovate “a cool new thing” that doesn’t yet exist is key to thriving on our team.
You must be comfortable working autonomously as well as with SMEs and stakeholders and have a natural affinity for gaining deep expertise yourself. We operate as an inclusive team of owners/builders at Veeva and expect this role to collaboratively embrace our core values of doing the right thing, customer success, employee success, and speed.
Veeva Systems does not anticipate providing sponsorship for employment visa status (e.g., H-1B, OPT) for this employment position.
