The Role

Join Veeva as we bring the power of modern, cloud-based laboratory management to new industries. As Director, LIMS Strategy, you’ll lead the expansion of Veeva’s Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) across North America — helping manufacturers modernize quality control and laboratory operations through a unified, cloud-based platform.

We’re looking for a strategic, customer-facing leader who understands the realities of laboratory operations in sectors like consumer goods, food & beverage, chemicals, and other process industries. You’ll connect the dots between product, marketing, sales, and services to shape a clear vision for digital transformation in laboratory informatics — and turn that vision into measurable growth.

In this role, you’ll act as a trusted advisor and industry thought leader, building executive relationships, guiding customers on their modernization journey, and positioning Veeva LIMS as the category-defining solution for next-generation lab management.

What You'll Do

  • Responsible for entering and growing the market for Veeva LIMS for industries beyond life sciences
  • Operate in a customer-facing capacity to deliver tangible business outcomes for both Veeva and the industries we serve
  • Build and nurture executive-level relationships across Quality, QC, R&D, and IT
  • Provide business and technical guidance to the product team to drive innovation in laboratory informatics
  • Develop go-to-market strategy, messaging, and enablement for customer adoption and long-term success
  • Coordinate across Sales, Services, and Product to ensure an exceptional end-to-end customer experience
  • Represent Veeva at industry conferences, webinars, and through published thought leadership
  • Build and manage relationships with partners, influencers, and industry associations

Requirements

  • 8+ years of experience growing and scaling a laboratory informatics or related software business (LIMS, ELN, SDMS, or QMS)
  • Deep understanding of digital technologies that support Quality Control, Manufacturing, or Laboratory operations
  • Proven track record of driving digital transformation initiatives and customer adoption in data-intensive industries
  • Ability to engage confidently with senior Quality, QC, and IT leaders to shape modernization strategies
  • Strong executive presence, strategic thinking, and communication skills
  • Willingness to travel for customer engagements

Nice to Have

  • Experience in industries such as food & beverage, consumer goods, chemicals, or ingredients manufacturing
  • Background in quality systems, GMP operations, or QC laboratory management
  • Experience leading global commercial or strategy teams with measurable growth outcomes
  • Published thought leadership or speaking engagements in digital quality or laboratory informatics

Perks & Benefits

  • Medical, dental, vision, and basic life insurance
  • Flexible PTO and company paid holidays
  • Retirement programs
  • 1% charitable giving program

Compensation

  • Base pay: $125,000 - $300,000
  • The salary range listed here has been provided to comply with local regulations and represents a potential base salary range for this role. Please note that actual salaries may vary within the range above or below, depending on experience and location.
