Summary:

This position is a Senior Manager role leading the Administration & Development stream within BMS's CRM Engineering – Field Enablement organization. Primary Technical Lead driving end-to-end design, administration, customization, and AI-powered development across the Veeva / Vault CRM ecosystem — with deep specialization in User Experience Layer Design, platform administration, and custom development using MyInsights/X-Pages, Java SDK, scripting languages, and CRM-native development frameworks.

This role also needs to excel defining the long-term CRM engineering vision and championing an AI-first, intelligent automation-led, and value-driven engineering culture that drives continuous innovation, simplification to transform commercial field operations, unlock measurable business value and accelerated business outcomes.

The role is US-based with extensive regular collaboration across global leads, developers, cross-matrix teams, business stakeholders, vendors, and product owners.

Key Responsibilities:

• Define and lead the AI-powered Engineering & Development across the CRM & EM capabilities — identifying and delivering AI-enabled solutions that create measurable business value, reduce manual effort, and elevate the intelligence of commercial field tools - embedded within Veeva CRM UIX layers.
• Champion an AI-first engineering mindset — embedding AI coding assistants, LLM-augmented development workflows, and automated testing into day-to-day engineering practice to accelerate delivery and raise code quality.
• Drive platform simplification and intelligent automation programs — rationalizing legacy configurations, eliminating high-effort manual workflows through AI-driven orchestration, and replacing complexity with elegant, automated, and scalable solutions.
• Lead agentic AI experiments and enterprise pilots — designing AI agents that autonomously manage CRM workflows, enrich data, route actions, and surface intelligent field recommendations via CRM APIs and third-party data sources.
• Establish AI governance and responsible AI frameworks within CRM engineering — ensuring all AI solutions comply with BMS AI policies, data privacy regulations, explainability standards, and validated systems requirements.
• Lead the end-to-end UIX strategy for Veeva CRM field-facing interfaces — including rep/manager screens, MyInsights/X-Pages, and embedded dashboards — and lead their architecture and development using HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (ES6+), Veeva JavaScript SDK, and Java SDK.
• Define and enforce UIX design standards, component libraries, and reusable UI patterns across the global CRM engineering team to ensure consistency, accessibility, and scalability.
• Lead all aspects of Veeva CRM & EM platform administration — user/territory management, security models, profiles, permission sets, role hierarchies, object configurations, workflow rules, approval processes, automation triggers, SSO, reporting/dashboard infrastructure, and data loading operations.
• Govern CRM environment strategy — sandbox, UAT, staging, and production — with disciplined promotion workflows, configuration trackers, and change management controls aligned to validated systems standards.
• Lead custom development initiatives using Java SDK, scripting languages (Groovy, JavaScript, Shell), and Veeva-native frameworks — delivering controllers, SDK-based logic layers, event handlers, background services, integration connectors, and a governed reusable code library.
• Collaborate to design & implement CRM integration solutions — RESTful/SOAP APIs, middleware connectors, event-driven pipelines, and batch data exchange workflows — connecting Veeva CRM with MDM, ERP, AI/ML services, Veeva Vault, and Salesforce.
• Drive CI/CD adoption and DevOps best practices — automated deployment pipelines, environment promotion workflows, code reviews, Git-based version control, coding standards enforcement, and GxP/GCP-compliant release automation.
• Lead innovation forums, hackathons, and technology showcases — fostering a culture of curiosity, experimentation, and breakthrough thinking across onshore, nearshore, and offshore engineering communities.
• Set the technical vision and engineering roadmap for the CRM & EM Administration and Development stream — aligning platform capabilities, custom development priorities, and AI/automation investments with BMS's commercial IT strategy.
