The Global Analytics Business Consulting Team applies data science and AI to help customers turn commercial, medical, and regulatory data into action. We are seeking a Global Data Science Lead that will support execution of the Data Science AI strategy within this team. This role will lead a group of data scientists, AI/ML engineers, and analysts, and partners with Global Analytics leadership to turn strategy into delivery — applying advanced analytics, machine learning, and generative AI/LLM techniques to life sciences data.

Lead the Data Science function within the Global Analytics Team, in line with Veeva's Analytics Business Consulting goals
Lead, mentor, and inspire a team of data scientists, AI/ML engineers, and analysts within the Global Analytics Team
Partner with Global Analytics leadership to translate the broader Data Science AI strategy into team priorities and delivery plans

Collaborate with cross-functional consulting teams to understand customer business requirements and translate them into AI-native, data-driven solutions
Work with product and business stakeholders to surface opportunities for applying AI within Global Analytics Team engagements
Enforce best practices for data quality, security, governance, and responsible AI use within the team
Implement and maintain rigorous testing procedures to validate the accuracy and reliability of data, ML, and AI models

Ph.D. in Economics, Machine Learning, Applied Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, or other quantitative discipline with 5+ years of relevant industry experience, or equivalent M.S. with 8+ years of relevant demonstrable research experience
Experience with the Life Sciences industry and applying analytics and AI/ML to related data sets
Hands-on experience building or deploying LLM-based systems (prompt engineering, RAG, agentic workflows, or fine-tuning). Advanced, in-depth specialization in data science and AI techniques including classification, pattern recognition, clustering, feature analysis, NLP, fuzzy matching, sentiment analysis, A/B testing, active/adaptive learning
Proven leadership of teams of 10+ people
Intellectual curiosity, along with excellent problem-solving and quantitative skills, including the ability to disaggregate issues, identify root causes, and recommend solutions, even in situations with non-standard problems
Excellent oral and written communication skills with the ability to effectively explain complex technical and AI-driven solutions to other team members and clients
Must be comfortable with changing requirements and priorities
Must be results-oriented and able to move forward without complete information and with minimal supervision

Advanced experience with AWS, Snowflake, or Databricks
Data pipeline building skills
Product development experience
Experience with LLM orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex) or vector databases
Experience designing AI-native products or workflows, not just adding AI to existing systems
