The Role

The Senior Director of Solution Consulting role at Veeva is a senior-level position focused on driving the adoption and growth of Veeva Data Cloud through pre-sales engagement. Veeva Data Cloud is the modern data foundation for Biopharma, overcoming the limitations of fragmented systems with a complete suite of commercial data products: reference data, deep data, performance data, and access data.

This is a hybrid role that combines deep technical data expertise with a consultative, client-facing approach. You will be responsible for supporting customer engagements in pre-sales, which includes working directly with customers to build brand awareness, highlighting product points of differentiation, and guiding customer data assessments. Additionally, you will demonstrate how these products can be used to drive value for customers by discovering new patients and healthcare providers, growing top-line revenue, and increasing bottom line efficiency.

Leveraging your technical skills and industry expertise, you will also educate prospective customers as to how these products are used to support key use cases, including how:

1. Compass Patient provides a more complete patient journey

2. Compass Prescriber can be leveraged for segmentation, targeting, and incentive compensation

3. Compass National delivers more accurate forecasting, performance tracking, and competitive analysis

4. HCP Pulse can be used to drive better segmentation and targeting, call planning, and field execution

This role is a key part of Data Cloud’s commercial strategy. The feedback you receive from customers in-market will be curated and shared with members of the Compass team to inform Compass product roadmap and feature releases.

If you are intellectually curious and get excited about bringing new products to market, this is a great opportunity for you.
