Job Description

If you are a bright, motivated leader interested in tackling some of the toughest and most interesting business problems, consider joining L.E.K. as a Consultant.

The Consultant role is at the core of our case team structure. Coming from diverse backgrounds and using their creative problem-solving and managerial skills, Consultants at L.E.K. guide our case teams to provide breakthrough insights that create real value. You will make a difference by driving our teams to deliver actionable advice and strategies to help our clients win.

Responsibilities

Consultants at L.E.K. manage a team of Associates and/or Associate Consultants and are on point to ensure the team is addressing client problems and delivering the best answer. While every case is different, Consultants’ primary responsibilities typically include:

• Breaking down and outlining the client’s key strategic issues
• Designing and supervising the team’s core research tasks and analyses day-to-day
• Developing presentations and other deliverable structures
• Participating in the communication of project conclusions to client senior management
• Providing guidance, mentorship, and feedback to more junior staff
  
  

L.E.K. recruits the best and the brightest and offers very competitive compensation and benefits. In addition to immediate management responsibility and high-impact work, we promote Consultants to Managers as fast as they develop, based on demonstrated performance and contributions.

WHY L.E.K.?

The Consultant role at L.E.K. is differentiated from other firms in several key ways:

• Early management responsibility: Consultants have the opportunity to manage the case process and Associate team (L.E.K. hires two undergraduates for every new Consultant).
• Breadth of experiences: While our projects span most industries and services, our focus is strategy and M&A. Consultants typically work on ~6-10 projects a year, providing greater exposure across clients and strategic issues, as well as faster development of business acumen.
• Fun, stimulating work environment: L.E.K. teams spend substantially more time in their home office relative to teams at peer firms, and we pride ourselves on a vibrant social culture, including case team events, office parties, non-profit involvement, and much more.
• International exposure: Approximately one-third of L.E.K. projects involve an international component, which allows Consultants to work on international case teams or, if they choose, to relocate to international offices on either a temporary or a full-time basis.
• Upward mobility: L.E.K. is a meritocracy with an entrepreneurial culture and frequent feedback. We rapidly progress responsibility to accelerate our team’s development.
