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 is looking for a Customer Success Manager (CSM) to join our team in Japan, focused on ensuring the success of our customers utilizing Vault CRM suite products. We're seeking proactive individuals with deep life sciences expertise who are eager to help customers maximize the value of their Veeva solutions. As a key member of our CSM team, you'll work closely with customers, acting as a trusted advisor for their CRM related initiatives. In this role, you'll be responsible for fostering strong customer relationships, understanding their success criteria, and guiding them in adopting best practices to achieve their business goals with the CRM suite. You'll proactively identify opportunities for improvement, drive solution adoption, and ensure our customers gain maximum value from their investment. Additionally, you'll proactively track necessary feature enhancements related to Japanese commercial and medical requirements and collaborate with the Product Management team to gather product feedback from customers. This is a full-time permanent role based in our Japan office. This is a highly customer-facing position, and while your primary work location will be the Japan office, you should be able to travel to customer sites as needed within Japan.

    • Facilitate cross-customer connections within the Japanese life sciences industry for collaboration opportunities and industry learning.
    • Communicate effectively about product release information and roadmaps, translating complex technical information into clear, understandable insights for diverse customer audiences. This includes delivering product updates, demonstrating new features, and articulating the value proposition of CRM suite product enhancements.
    • Lead CRM related communities with Strategy and Product for CRM suite existing customers. This community is to foster a vibrant, knowledgeable, and engaged group of commercial professionals. It will serve as a collaborative space for CRM suite customers to share insights, engage in educational sessions, and discuss regulatory updates and technical challenges.
Requirements

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.

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.
