Salesforce Functional Consultant

About the Salesforce Business Group

Accenture's Salesforce Business Group is the part of Accenture Technology devoted to selling, delivering, and supporting Salesforce technology-based projects across Australia & New Zealand. Part of our global practice, our local and international ability is recognised unanimously as number 1 by Industry Analysts in their annual ratings on Salesforce consulting partners. We think we're unique among our peers with our ability to understand Salesforce, its ecosystem and the career goals of those working in the Ohana. We also bring our collective Accenture capability to our Salesforce work. We work with our industry, consulting, strategy, service design and digital consultants to transform our clients.

Beyond doing the most exciting and most significant projects with the best team, we are at the foundation an Ohana (meaning family). We believe we offer individuals a supportive home to grow your career no matter what your level of experience, specialty, gender, family situation, heritage, or life goals. And if you're working from the kitchen bench or have an upset child in the background, we want to let you know that we get it. You'll feel our team's difference from the moment you speak with us. We're proud of the culture that shines through.
