About Veer

Each year, roughly 10% of an employer's workforce experiences a significant personal event that requires a leave of absence. Once thought of as a compliance risk, leave is now recognized by leading employers as a critical moment in the employee journey.

At Veer, we believe every employee deserves the time and support needed to thrive. We work with HR leaders at leading enterprise employers to transform the leave experience—moving beyond the "DMV-like" processes of forms, wait times, and confusion. Our digital and mobile platform guides employees from leave planning through return to work, ensuring a smooth, supportive transition.

The results speak for themselves: higher employee satisfaction, stronger operational effectiveness, and greater business continuity. Today, we're reinventing a $10+ billion industry. Tomorrow, we aspire to help make paid leave a universal human right. We're building Veer for the long term—with the shared commitment of our investors, customers, and partners—and we're doing so as a team grounded in empathy, curiosity, and impact.

• Act as a strategic consultant, guiding customers to the best solutions within the defined project scope to ensure their core business needs are met without compromising delivery milestones.
• Navigate complex organizational structures at large employers, building relationships with leave of absence and disability program managers, IT teams, legal counsel, and executive sponsors.

Leave program expertise

• Demonstrate deep understanding of leave of absence and disability programs—including FMLA, state leave laws (CA, NY, WA, etc.), STD/LTD, and employer-specific policies.
• Gather and document customer requirements, translating customer-specific leave policies and business rules into clear specifications for design and engineering teams.

• Support internal champions at the customer organization to stimulate adoption.
• Host live training sessions or webinars for customer teams and users.
• Formalize the handoff to Customer Success by partnering to create a comprehensive "Success Plan" that outlines the customer's business goals, key stakeholders, unique configurations, and potential areas for future growth.

• Enthusiastic about leveraging AI tools to automate repetitive work, scale implementations, and enhance the customer experience. You're constantly asking "how can we do this faster/better with AI?" rather than defaulting to manual processes.
• Strong understanding of employee leave and disability policies and programs (STD/LTD, FMLA, state disability, parental and family leave, etc.) and the HR/benefits landscape
• Proven ability to manage and strategically consult on complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise projects with competing priorities
• Excellent communication skills—you can translate between technical and non-technical audiences, effectively advising and influencing senior business stakeholders
• Comfortable working in ambiguous, fast-moving environments where you'll need to build processes from scratch
• Technical aptitude and ability to work closely with engineering teams on integrations and product configuration
