We are seeking an elite Medical Writer to serve as our Principal Medical Writing Domain Expert for Veeva Falcon. This is a rare opportunity to step away from repetitive manual drafting and help design the advanced regulatory authoring system of your dreams. You understand that the next generation of medical writing is AI enabled whilst preserving strategic messaging, narrative flow, and absolute data fidelity. In this high-impact role, you will bring your master-level expertise to bear, guiding our product and engineering teams to build a platform that automates primary clinical documents (such as CSRs and summaries) with total precision, before scaling across a comprehensive portfolio of global regulatory assets.

Help build your dream AI enabled Authoring Platform:

Act as the ultimate visionary and "Voice of the Customer," guiding product and engineering teams on how an ideal, advanced authoring system should handle source data mapping, document logic, and summary execution
Define Document Generation Frameworks:

Go beyond static templates to map out how clinical data should be logically synthesized into regulatory-grade documents-starting with clinical trial results and scaling to broader regulatory submissions
Define "What Good Looks Like":

Establish objective quality criteria, review protocols, and verification frameworks to ensure the platform's initial and future outputs meet stringent global regulatory expectations
Direct Content Instructions:

Inform and refine the internal instructions and content logic used by the system to generate content, ensuring it captures the nuances of cyclical document updates and complex clinical narratives
Commercial & Sales Enablement:

Actively participate in the sales cycle. Meet with prospects, demonstrate profound medical writing expertise, and build immediate credibility with prospective buyers
Change Management Advisory & Early Adoption:

Partner with early adopter companies to help their medical writing teams transition from manual drafting to a strategic, human-in-the-loop review process, acting as their internal champion to our product team
Requirements

7+ years of medical writing experience within pharma, biotech, or CROs, with a heavy emphasis on authoring complex regulatory documents
Deep operational understanding of global regulatory guidelines (such as ICH E3) and complex clinical data mapping
Exceptional communication, presentation, and relationship-management skills, with total comfort acting as a subject matter expert during commercial cycles
A passion for learning about agentic AI and an adaptive, forward-thinking mindset regarding how generative technology can transform regulatory document workflows

Work Where It's Best for You

Work Anywhere means you can work in an office or at home on any given day. It's about getting the work done in the way and place that works best for each person. This applies across all locations and departments.

Work Anywhere does not mean work at any time. We have predictable core hours where employees are generally available for meetings and collaboration. Employees are focused and available during core hours.

We invest in our offices to make them places where our employees like to go. If you work in the office three or more days a week, you will have a dedicated office workspace. Our offices function as hubs to draw people in, create social bonds, and where random connections and mixing of ideas happen. We're investing more in offices, culture, and offsite meetings, not less.

Product teams are organized in regional product hubs for optimal collaboration and live within a time zone of their hub. Our current product hubs are located in Pleasanton, Columbus, Boston, Kansas City, New York City, Raleigh, and Toronto. We create opportunities for teams to get together in person regularly.

Customer-facing roles, such as Sales and Professional Services, live near and/or travel to their customers.

When an employee moves within a country it does not cause a change in salary. Where you live impacts you and your family. Not knowing if your compensation will change if you move can cause stress and uncertainty for everyone. We wanted to eliminate that.

Work at Veeva. Work where it's best for you.
