Practical notes

The role is ideally based in the area of a Veeva office in Barcelona, London, Paris, Frankfurt, or Berlin, though other EU locations, including Milan, will be considered. Full right to work in the country of application is required, meaning you must already be authorized to work in Italy without the need for sponsorship. This is a full-time, permanent position that offers the flexibility of a Work Anywhere model, allowing you to perform your duties from home or in the office based on your personal needs and team agreements. While specific hour expectations are not outlined, the position requires consistent availability to support global customers and collaborate with cross-functional teams across time zones. Travel within Europe may be required to meet with customers, facilitate workshops, or participate in implementation activities, and consultants should be prepared for occasional trips as part of the role. No visa sponsorship is provided for this position, and candidates must already hold the necessary authorization to work in their country of assignment. There are no published deadlines for this opportunity, and interested candidates are encouraged to apply as soon as they are ready with the required qualifications and experience.
