This leadership role is ideal for a life sciences expert who bridges the gap between engineering and digital transformation. You need 5+ years of experience specifically in **Commissioning, Qualification, and Validation (CQV)** of manufacturing facilities and equipment. The perfect candidate has a background in Chemical or Mechanical Engineering and understands how to move legacy, paper-based validation processes into modern, data-centric cloud environments. The position offers a massive compensation range (up to $300k base plus bonuses/stock) and a "Work Anywhere" policy, though you must live near an airport to accommodate up to 40% travel. As a Director-level strategic role, you aren’t just selling software; you are acting as an industry evangelist and architecting how major pharmaceutical companies digitize their physical manufacturing assets. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have deep technical knowledge of industry standards like **ASTM E2500** and **ISPE** guides. * Can confidently lead "business vs. IT" strategy sessions with C-suite executives at manufacturing sites. * Have experience managing validation for large-scale "greenfield" facility startups or major capital projects. * Are looking for a remote, high-impact role that combines product strategy, sales support, and industry thought leadership.

The Role
Join Veeva as we bring the power of modern, cloud-based digital validation to the industry. As Director, Validation Management Strategy, you’ll lead the expansion of Veeva’s Validation Management across North America – helping life sciences companies digitize and manage their Commissioning, Qualification, and Validation (CQV) processes through a unified, cloud-based platform.
We are seeking a leader who can direct the convergence of sales, marketing, products, and services into a cohesive vision for the market, turning that vision into measurable growth. This individual has a deep understanding of the technical and regulatory requirements supporting the qualification of the physical manufacturing environment across facilities, utilities, equipment, and the validation of complex analytical and production processes.
In this role, you’ll act as a trusted advisor and industry thought leader, building executive relationships and guiding customers on their journey from paper-heavy binders or paper-on-glass point solutions to a data-centric digital solution. Through this partnership, you will position Veeva Validation Management as the category-defining solution for next-generation validation management.
This is a work anywhere, full-time permanent role with Veeva. Our work processes are designed so that you can be productive in the environment that works best for you. This is a customer-facing role and we have no work location requirement if you are in close proximity to an airport and able to meet future travel requirements.
