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 Europe — 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.

- 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
