Employees brainstorming.
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.
 
Join us in transforming the life sciences industry, committed to making a positive impact on its customers, employees, and communities.

The Role
 
Our vision for Veeva OpenData is to become the global leader in reference data for the life sciences industry. The world's top pharma and biotech companies use our data as the foundational layer for their commercial and medical operations.
 
This means the data products you build will directly accelerate getting life-saving treatments to patients. As a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC), we balance purpose with profit, operating with a culture of extreme autonomy, speed, and ownership.
 
We are looking for an entrepreneurial, bilingual (English/Arabic) data professional to step into the Data Product Manager role for OpenData Middle East and North Africa (MENA). The role is fully remote in the UK, Germany, or Spain. Travel expected: 10%.
 
If you have a strong technical foundation in data analytics or engineering and are tired of just pulling data to fulfill tickets, this is your chance to own the roadmap. You won't just oversee data pipelines; you will lead product strategy across 12 countries, identify new market opportunities, and lead cross-functional execution from end to end.
What You’ll Do
    • Own the MENA Product Vision: Serve as the end-to-end owner for the OpenData Middle East and North Africa (MENA) product, actively scaling its customer footprint and driving strategy across 12 target countries.
    •  Architect the Data Strategy: Make the critical, high-level product decisions governing how we source, transform, update, and analyze complex regional datasets to maximize customer value.
    • Lead Cross-Functional Execution: Translate market needs into a clear roadmap, prioritizing the backlog and requirements for dedicated squads of data engineers, data analysts, and product operations teams.
    • Drive Customer Success: Partner directly with strategy, sales, and services teams to gather customer feedback, iterate rapidly, and ensure the product is continuously improving.
    • Champion Data Excellence: Set and enforce rigorous KPIs for data coverage, completeness, and accuracy, maximizing data quality.
    • Navigate Complex Markets: Stay ahead of regional healthcare regulations, compliance requirements, and market shifts, adapting the product roadmap to turn market complexity into a competitive advantage.
Requirements
    • Product Experience: 2–5 years of experience in data analytics or product management, with a proven track record of extracting value from complex datasets.
    • Ruthless Prioritization: Strong product intuition with the ability to manage a backlog, balancing long-term product scope, strict data quality standards, and customer feedback.
    • Technical Fluency: Proficient in SQL. You don't just rely on dashboards; you can query the database directly to investigate issues, validate data quality, and prototype solutions.
    • Educational Foundation: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Management, Mathematics, Statistics, or a related quantitative field.
    • Bilingual Communication: Fluent in English (C1 or higher) and conversational in Arabic (B2 or higher), enabling you to effectively manage stakeholders and understand MENA market nuances.
Nice to Have
    • Life Sciences Expertise: Experience building data products specifically for the life sciences industry, spanning data modeling, sourcing, analysis, and delivery.
    • MENA Healthcare Knowledge: Familiarity with the specific healthcare ecosystems, regulations, and data landscapes within the Middle East (e.g., Saudi Arabia, Egypt, UAE).
    • Leadership Experience: A track record of managing teams, whether internal employees or external contractors.

Work Where It’s Best for You

Work Anywhere means you can work in an office or at home on any given day. It’s about getting the work done in the way and place that works best for each person. This applies across all locations and departments.

Work Anywhere does not mean work at any time. We have predictable core hours where employees are generally available for meetings and collaboration. Employees are focused and available during core hours.

We invest in our offices to make them places where our employees like to go. If you work in the office three or more days a week, you will have a dedicated office workspace. Our offices function as hubs to draw people in, create social bonds, and where random connections and mixing of ideas happen. We’re investing more in offices, culture, and offsite meetings, not less.

Product teams are organized in regional product hubs for optimal collaboration and live within a time zone of their hub. Our current product hubs are located in Pleasanton, Columbus, Boston, Kansas City, New York City, Raleigh, and Toronto. We create opportunities for teams to get together in person regularly.

Customer-facing roles, such as Sales and Professional Services, live near and/or travel to their customers.

When an employee moves within a country it does not cause a change in salary. Where you live impacts you and your family. Not knowing if your compensation will change if you move can cause stress and uncertainty for everyone. We wanted to eliminate that.

Work at Veeva. Work where it’s best for you.

A different kind of company. A Public Benefit Corporation.

Unlike a traditional corporation, whose only legal duty is to maximize shareholder value, PBCs consider their public benefit purpose and the interests of those materially affected by the corporation’s conduct—including customers, employees, and the community—in addition to shareholders’ interests.

What sets us apart

In February 2021, Veeva became the first public company to convert to a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC).

Unlike a traditional corporation, whose only legal duty is to maximize shareholder value, PBCs consider their public benefit purpose and the interests of those materially affected by the corporation’s conduct—including customers, employees, and the community—in addition to shareholders’ interests.

Veeva’s public benefit purpose is to help make the industries we serve more productive and create high-quality employment opportunities.

At Veeva, we believe in giving back. Veeva’s support for charitable causes is entirely employee driven because we think giving is personal and should be directed by the individual. With our 1% Veeva Giving program, each employee receives an amount equivalent to 1% of their base salary annually to support the non-profit(s) of their choice. We don’t dictate favored corporate causes or ask employees to donate to specific non-profits. We never support a charitable cause in exchange for commercial advantage or preferential treatment.

Veeva’s core values — do the right thing, customer success, employee success, and speed — guide our decision making and define our culture. Doing the right thing means that we are concerned about more than just financial success and return to shareholders. We recognize a responsibility to customers, employees, environment, and society.As individuals, we pride ourselves on being good people who are honest, fair, and direct. We treat others with respect. As a company, we strive to be a good corporate citizen, a positive force in the business community, active in our communities, and an example to others.

Our equity program is designed to enable the vast majority of our employees to participate. Our unique approach to awarding equity grants allows our employees to be shareholders so they can benefit financially in the company’s growth.

Veeva has taken a strong stance against the use of non-compete agreements that can limit employee opportunities. We do not require our employees to sign non-compete agreements, and we have taken legal action to fight the unfair use of these agreements by other companies because we believe such agreements limit an employee’s fundamental right to work where they choose. We believe in our people and want them to be successful here at Veeva or wherever their careers take them.
