Veeva Technical Lead - CTI MD Tech GRA/GSC - Eli Lilly
Engineering Manager
We're looking for an Engineering Manager focused on designing and building scalable technical solutions. This lead role requires 7+ years of relevant experience.
About the role
- RIM Data Model Ownership — serve as the definitive technical authority on Veeva Vault RIM's object model, metadata, and VQL-based data access, ensuring changes preserve the integrity of live submissions.
- Submission Continuity & Risk Management — support and troubleshoot the technical foundation behind active gateway submissions, ensuring configuration and data changes never jeopardize a live submission.
- Future-State Architecture Vision — define and own the strategic vision for how regulatory systems integrations around Veeva Vault should evolve, positioning RIM's existing data model as the foundation that future architecture is engineered from.
- Strategic Roadmap & Portfolio Alignment — connect Veeva Vault architecture decisions to the broader GRA/GSC technology strategy, ensuring investments in the platform align with enterprise AI, agentic, and digital workforce priorities.
- Veeva AI & Platform Evolution Tracking — stay ahead of Veeva's own AI and automation roadmap (Vault AI and related Veeva AI capabilities), assessing how these evolving native capabilities should shape Lilly's build-vs-adopt architecture decisions.
- Integration Pattern & Schema Design — architect schemas and integration contracts, including API- and MCP-based access patterns, that allow RIM data to be consumed reliably by downstream systems and emerging platforms.
- Custom Integration Development — build and maintain custom integrations using the Veeva Vault SDK/APIs and Python-based automation to extend Vault capabilities and streamline manual processes.
- Reusable Architecture Patterns — establish reusable architecture and design patterns around Veeva Vault that accelerate delivery, reduce duplication, and improve long-term sustainability across the RIM ecosystem.
- Configuration Governance — establish and enforce configuration management, validation, and change-control discipline appropriate to a GxP-regulated Vault environment.
- Data Pipeline & Systems Reliability — build and support robust data pipelines and system integrations around Veeva platforms, ensuring reliable, well-governed data flow between Vault and downstream systems.
- Cross-Functional Partnership — partner with regulatory operations, data architecture, and AI/agentic engineering teams to align RIM's evolution with both near-term regulatory needs and the broader digital workforce roadmap.
- Technical Mentorship — act as the go-to technical expert for the team on Vault architecture questions, raising overall data-model literacy across the organization.
- Deep expertise in Veeva Vault architecture and configuration, including object models, metadata, and VQL.
- Systems/data architecture experience designing schemas and integration contracts across regulated platforms.
- Proficiency in Python and Java for automation and hands-on experience with the Veeva Vault SDK/APIs for custom integrations.
