- Provide technical guidance to development teams and ensure data integrity, performance, and security.
4. Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

Entry Level Functional Consultant Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level functional consultant job?
Employers hiring at the entry level look for candidates who can demonstrate hands-on experience with business systems, process documentation, or requirements gathering, even from internships, coursework, or student projects. A clear understanding of how software supports business operations gives you an edge. Tailor your resume to highlight any ERP, CRM, or workflow tool exposure, and prepare to discuss a specific problem you helped analyze or solve.
Which companies hire entry level functional consultants?
Companies hiring entry level functional consultants right now include Deloitte, Sysco, and Cummins, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Hiring covers consulting firms, enterprise software vendors, and large corporations building out their internal systems teams, all of which regularly onboard junior talent to support implementations and client-facing projects.
Are there remote entry level functional consultant jobs?
Yes, though availability varies by employer and project type. About 23% of entry level functional consultant openings are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, reflecting how many consulting engagements and systems projects can be managed without a fixed office presence. On-site roles still exist, particularly for client-facing implementation work that requires direct collaboration.
Are these new grad functional consultant jobs?
Yes, many of these openings are new grad roles that welcome recent graduates, junior candidates, and career changers with little or no professional experience. A new grad friendly posting typically welcomes zero to two years of experience and accepts relevant internships, academic projects, or a portfolio demonstrating analytical thinking and familiarity with business systems in place of a full work history.
Which industries hire the most entry level functional consultants?
Entry Level functional consultant roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Consulting & Professional Services, and Accounting & Auditing, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. These sectors drive hiring at this level because they rely on continuous system implementations, process redesigns, and software rollouts that require junior consultants to support documentation, testing, and stakeholder communication throughout each project cycle.
