The Opportunity
We are looking for a hands-on Oracle HCM Cloud Techno-Functional Consultant with proven end-to-end implementation experience in Payroll and Time and Labor. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable configuring functional processes and writing technical code, including Fast Formulas, HCM Extracts, and BI Publisher reports. Exposure to additional Oracle HCM modules such as Performance Management, Learning, Benefits, and Absence Management is a strong plus.
This role requires a true techno-functional profile — someone who can gather requirements, design solutions, configure the application, and also build the underlying technical artifacts needed to support go-live and ongoing operations.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead end-to-end Oracle HCM Cloud implementations and enhancements, with primary responsibility for Payroll and Time & Labor solutions.
- Partner with business stakeholders to gather requirements, design scalable solutions, and translate business needs into functional and technical specifications.
- Configure, develop, and support Oracle HCM capabilities, including Payroll, Time & Labor, Fast Formulas, HCM Extracts, reporting, integrations, and workflow automation.
- Design and maintain reporting, analytics, data migration, and integration solutions using Oracle HCM tools, APIs, and related technologies.
- Provide production support, testing leadership, troubleshooting, documentation, and continuous improvement while collaborating across HR, IT, and vendor teams.
Required Qualifications
- Deep hands-on Oracle HCM Cloud experience with at least one full-cycle, end-to-end implementation of Payroll and Time & Labor, including requirements gathering, solution design, configuration, testing, deployment, and post-go-live support; strong expertise in configuring Payroll (elements, balances, payroll definitions, costing, and statutory setups) and Time & Labor (time entry rules, calculation cards, time categories, and approval rules), complemented by a deep understanding of Oracle HCM data models, security, and business process configuration.
- Proven experience developing and supporting Fast Formulas, HCM Extracts, reporting and analytics solutions, including OTBI and BI Publisher, to meet business, compliance, and integration requirements.
- Technical proficiency with HDL, HSDL, and related Oracle Cloud technologies, along with working knowledge of Agent Builder for intelligent automation and AI-enabled workflows.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to work independently in a hands-on capacity while effectively partnering with business stakeholders, HR teams, and technical teams.
Preferred Qualifications
- 7+ years of hands-on experience with Oracle HCM Cloud or related technologies.
- Experience designing and supporting payroll integrations with third-party providers (e.g., ADP), along with exposure to Oracle Cloud release management and testing cycles.
- Experience with additional Oracle HCM modules, including Performance Management, Learning, Benefits, and Absence Management.
- Technical experience working with SOAP/ Rest APIs and Unix Shell scripting.
- Oracle HCM Cloud certifications in Payroll, Time & Labor, or related modules.
Location Expectation: This is a hybrid role requiring a minimum of 3 days per week in office.
The expected salary range for this position is $115,000 - $155,000. This role may also be eligible for annual short-term incentive compensation. All incentives and benefits are subject to the applicable plan terms.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Functional Consultant
Map your degree to the role
USCIS requires a direct relationship between your degree field and the Functional Consultant position. Pull the O*NET occupation profile to confirm the degree requirements listed there match your credentials before applying.
Target employers with LCA filing history
Use Migrate Mate to filter Functional Consultant roles by verified DOL Labor Condition Application filings, so you're only spending time on employers who have already gone through the H-1B sponsorship process for this role type.
Verify the prevailing wage before negotiating
Run your job title, SOC code, and work location through the OFLC Wage Search before salary discussions. Your offered wage must meet or exceed the certified prevailing wage, and falling short will trigger an LCA rejection.
Confirm the role is employer-site specific
Functional Consultants often work at client sites. Each unique worksite requires a separate LCA posting. Clarify with your prospective employer how they handle multi-site placements to avoid H-1B compliance gaps after you start.
Get your credentials evaluated before the offer
If your undergraduate degree is from outside the U.S., have a credential evaluation completed and ready. USCIS adjudicators scrutinize foreign three-year degrees for Functional Consultant petitions, so resolving equivalency questions upfront prevents an RFE delay.
H-1B Visa Functional Consultant: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Functional Consultant role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes, provided the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field such as information systems, business administration, engineering, or computer science. The key is that the degree requirement must be tied directly to the duties of the role. A generalist business degree alone is unlikely to satisfy USCIS if the job description doesn't align the tasks to that field of study.
How do I find employers who sponsor H-1B visas for Functional Consultant jobs?
Search Migrate Mate to browse Functional Consultant openings filtered by employers with verified H-1B LCA filing history. This saves you from applying to companies that haven't previously sponsored the visa for this role type. DOL publishes LCA disclosure data quarterly, and Migrate Mate surfaces that data by employer and job title so you can evaluate sponsorship track records before applying.
Can a staffing firm or consulting company sponsor my H-1B as a Functional Consultant?
Yes, but the rules are stricter. USCIS requires the petitioning employer to have a real employment relationship with you, including the right to control your work. Consulting firms that place you at client sites must document that control clearly in the H-1B petition. They also need a separate LCA for each client worksite, and the offered wage must meet prevailing wage at each location.
What happens to my H-1B status if my Functional Consultant project ends early?
You have a 60-day grace period from the end of your employment to find a new H-1B employer, change status, or depart the U.S. Your new employer must file an H-1B transfer petition before that window closes to maintain continuous work authorization. USCIS requires the new employer to file a full I-129 petition with a certified LCA for the new position.
Does the Functional Consultant SOC code affect my H-1B prevailing wage?
Yes, directly. The SOC code your employer selects determines which wage tier applies when they file the LCA with DOL. Functional Consultants are commonly classified under management analysts or computer systems analysts, and those codes carry different prevailing wage levels by location. Run the relevant SOC code through the OFLC Wage Search to verify the wage level before the offer is finalized.
