The Role

Veeva Ostro operates as a startup within Veeva, and sits at the intersection of life sciences, marketing, and artificial intelligence. We empower pharmaceutical brands, healthcare providers (HCPs), and patients by orchestrating AI-enabled omnichannel engagement across the entire patient and prescriber lifecycle.

As the Head of Data Analytics, you will lead the design, development, and continuous improvement of the data systems and associated measurement analyses that sit at the intersection of our products, customers, and commercial strategy. Our products generate significant data as users ask questions and take action, and you will work with the product team to surface and execute on insights that govern how our product evolves. This data is also used by our customers in their planning efforts, and you will work closely with our client service and implementation teams to enable and deliver on customized analyses that reflect the nuances of each client’s strategy. To deliver on the above, you will proactively architect, build, and scale the next generation of our data platform to make it modern, scalable, and AI-ready.

As the leader of the Data Analytics team, you will contribute to the team in a “player / coach” capacity, providing both executive leadership and hands-on expertise and contributions.

Requirements

• Deep, hands-on expertise in SQL / Python and strong capabilities in data modeling, advanced quantitative analysis, and working with large data sets
