Veeva Systems, a global provider of cloud software for the life sciences industry, will grow its operations in the Kansas City region, the Kansas City Area Development Council announced.
The company will create more than 100 engineering, product, sales and services jobs across the Midwest during the next five years. With the option to work from home or in the office as part of Veeva’s Work Anywhere approach, the Kansas City office will serve as a hub for collaboration.
Veeva selected the Lightwell Building in downtown Kansas City, Missouri, for its 10,000-square-foot engineering hub. The new office will have private workspaces for focused work and carefully crafted areas for meetings and social interaction.
The company joins a diverse network of nearly 300 life sciences organizations in Kansas City – representing a $9.1 billion per year industry. The life science industry employs 34,000 people in the region and Kansas City’s technology sector employs 100,000 overall.
