Birlasoft is Hiring OTM Techno-Functional Consultant | Pune | Freshers 2025/2026

Job Description

There's a notable internal inconsistency worth flagging upfront: the posting's title fields list this as "Developer-Enterprise Apps" and separately mention "Cognos Consultant" as the job title within the description — but the actual detailed role description is entirely about an Oracle Transportation Management (OTM) Techno-Functional Consultant position. This is a fairly clear templating error where multiple job posting fragments got merged into one listing. Treat the detailed OTM description as the accurate content, but it's worth directly confirming with the recruiter which specific role you'd actually be considered for, given how many different titles appear across this single posting.

Setting the title confusion aside, the actual role described is a genuinely interesting entry point for graduates interested in supply chain and logistics technology consulting — Oracle Transportation Management is enterprise software used by companies to optimize freight, routing, and logistics operations. This is a more specialized niche than typical generic "IT consulting" roles, and one that's less commonly covered in standard CS curricula, making it a distinctive option for engineering or MBA graduates specifically interested in supply chain domains.

What's genuinely notable about this listing is how explicitly and extensively it addresses AI tool usage as a core hiring criterion — an entire dedicated section covers Generative AI tools (ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Claude), prompt engineering, AI-assisted coding/testing/documentation, and even AI ethics awareness, listed as "highly preferred." This reflects a broader trend increasingly visible across recent postings on this site (Deloitte, HCLTech, and others have similar AI-fluency expectations), but Birlasoft's listing is unusually detailed and explicit about it — worth taking seriously if you're preparing your application, since generic "I use ChatGPT sometimes" claims are unlikely to stand out given how specifically this is spelled out.

𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞:

- 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫: engineering graduates (CS, IT, Mechanical, Industrial) or MBA graduates (Operations, Supply Chain, Business Analytics) with genuine curiosity about enterprise consulting and logistics technology, and comfortable demonstrating practical AI tool usage

- 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫: those seeking pure software development work — despite the confusing "Developer" title fragment, the actual role is techno-functional consulting, blending business process understanding with light technical configuration, not hands-on coding

- 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐲: moderate — the eligibility criteria is broad (multiple engineering disciplines plus MBA), but genuine interest in supply chain/logistics combined with demonstrable AI tool fluency will likely differentiate candidates in a large applicant pool

- 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲: commonly leads into Senior OTM Consultant, Supply Chain Solutions Architect, or Oracle Cloud Consultant roles, with OTM-specific expertise being a genuinely valuable and less commonly held specialization in the broader IT consulting market

𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐱𝐭:

Birlasoft hasn't disclosed pay for this role, and the salary range field in the posting itself is left blank/unfilled — worth confirming directly during the application process. General market data for techno-functional consultant roles at mid-to-large Indian IT consulting firms typically ranges around ₹4–6.5 LPA for freshers, though MBA graduates in this pool may see offers toward the higher end — this is an estimate only, not sourced from the posting.

𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲:

Given the listing's unusually explicit emphasis on AI tool fluency, prepare specific, concrete examples of how you've used AI tools productively — not just "I use ChatGPT," but something like how you used an AI tool to structure a research summary, debug code, or draft documentation for a project; and since this is fundamentally a consulting role, be ready to discuss any experience translating a business problem into a structured solution, even from a college project or case competition, since that maps directly to the "relate product functionality to business processes" framing at the top of the posting.

Roles & Responsibilities

The responsibilities blend structured learning (getting up to speed on OTM functionality) with genuine project contribution (requirement gathering, configuration, testing) — a fairly standard techno-functional consulting ramp-up structure.

- Learn OTM functionality, business processes, and best practices

- Assist with requirement gathering, solution design, configuration, testing, and deployment

- Support production issues, incident resolution, and enhancement requests

- Prepare functional specifications, technical documentation, and user guides

- Collaborate with business users, technical teams, and project stakeholders

- Participate in system integration, data validation, and User Acceptance Testing (UAT)

- Leverage AI tools to improve productivity across documentation, analysis, testing, and development

Qualifications & Eligibility

Notably broad on academic background — both technical engineering degrees and MBA degrees are explicitly welcomed, reflecting the techno-functional (partly business, partly technical) nature of the role.

- B.E./B.Tech in Computer Science, IT, Electronics, Mechanical, Industrial Engineering, or a related field, OR MBA in Operations, Supply Chain, Systems, or Business Analytics

- 2025/2026 graduates or recent graduates with strong academic performance

- Strong analytical, logical reasoning, and problem-solving skills

Skills Required

Core requirements are soft-skill and aptitude focused; technical/domain knowledge is listed as preferred rather than mandatory, and AI tool fluency is called out as a distinct, heavily weighted category.

- Preferred: Basic knowledge of SQL, databases, or programming concepts

- Preferred: Understanding of Supply Chain, Logistics, ERP, or business processes

- Preferred: Exposure to Oracle Cloud, ERP, or enterprise applications

- Preferred: Knowledge of APIs, XML, JSON, or integration concepts

- Highly preferred: Experience using Generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, or Claude, along with prompt engineering, AI-assisted coding/testing/documentation, and awareness of AI ethics
