Manager, Life Sciences

Life Sciences is L.E.K.’s largest practice and supports leading companies across several sub-segments of the industry including biopharma, medtech, and diagnostics.  L.E.K. also has strong relationships with many of the investors and advisors that support the broader healthcare industry.  While L.E.K.’s Life Sciences practice has recognized excellence across a wide range of service offerings, the common denominator is helping clients to address their most pressing strategic and operational issues with a focus on delivering value-creating growth.  As part of this focus, L.E.K. has worked with some of the industry’s most innovative companies including 9 of the top 10 global biopharma companies, all of the top 10 medtech companies. We have also been recognized as the M&A advisor of the year and the Healthcare Sector Advisor of the Year, in addition to several other awards.

• Structuring complex strategic and technical problems into discrete modules and providing thought leadership to aid project execution
• Understanding the critical issues affecting the client and communicating key insights and recommendations based upon the case team’s research and analysis
• Working directly with Managing Directors to develop compelling proposals and support client and business development activities
  • Managing and evaluating the performance of team members
  • Contributing to the management of the firm through involvement in areas such as professional development, recruiting, thought leadership creation, practice building, etc.

WHY L.E.K.?

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

• Breadth of experiences: While our projects span most industries and services, our focus is strategy and M&A. Managers typically work on 2 projects at a time, 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 Managers 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. Promotion paths do not follow a strict timeline; we promote people as quickly as they develop.
