What we are looking for:

We are currently hiring at the Consultant level. The Consultant role is at the heart of the case team. Consultants have a high level of responsibility in guiding and manging the case team and working closely with client to ensure the effective implementation of recommendations.

Specific responsibilities include:

• Identifying the critical issues – Consultants work with Partners and Managers to outline the client’s key business issues that need resolution. L.E.K. Consultants develop the business acumen necessary to quickly identify key client issues early in their career.
• Structuring analyses – Once the key issues have been identified, the Consultant typically forms a plan to find the answers to these critical questions. The Consultant will lay out the strategy to the team for finding the information, for instance market growth drivers, competitive profiling or broad market trends.
• Managing the team’s day-to-day activities – L.E.K. hires two associates for every one Consultant, implying that the management of less experienced colleagues is as much a part of the Consultant role as solving business issues.

• Solving the case – Our clients expect high quality, actionable answers to their business problems. L.E.K. Consultants ensure the team is on-track to accurately solve the problem and deliver an answer.

• Turning strategy into action – L.E.K. Consultants work closely with senior members of the client organisation to ensure that the strategies are actioned and the impact realised. The Consultant role typically involves facilitating workshops to reach consensus on the approach, the development and rollout of tools to track progress against the key steps and milestones and working collaboratively with the client to ensure successful implementations of the strategic initiatives.
