Associate

Company Description:

L.E.K. Consulting is a global management consulting firm that uses deep industry expertise and rigorous analysis to help business leaders achieve practical results with real impact. We are uncompromising in our approach to helping clients consistently make better decisions, deliver improved business performance and create greater shareholder returns. The firm advises and supports global companies that are leaders in their industries — including the largest private and public sector organizations, private equity firms and emerging entrepreneurial businesses. Founded more than 30 years ago, L.E.K. employs more than 1,000 professionals across the Americas, Asia-Pacific and Europe.

Associate Position:

The focal point of an L.E.K. project team is at the Associate level. The Associate is responsible for the comprehensive research and analysis upon which each client engagement is based. Success of the team is dependent upon the quality and creativity of the analysis that Associates perform under the guidance of senior team members.

Specific responsibilities include:

• Gathering primary and secondary data on markets, competitors, and customers through database and Internet searches, market research and other commercial reports, internal client data, and telephone and in-person interviews.

• Developing rigorous strategic and financial analysis that will be utilized to determine L.E.K.’s recommendation to the client. Examples include developing a spreadsheet model of market growth and competitor share, developing a valuation model for a company or product using discounted cash flow analysis, testing customer sensitivity to product attributes using adaptive conjoint analysis, or determining probability distributions of acquisition value.
  
  
• Collaborating with project team members to derive trends, conclusions, and recommendations based upon the analysis. An Associate must transform what he or she has learned into thoughtful insights regarding the client’s strategic direction.

• Making L.E.K. an enjoyable and rewarding place to work. This includes coaching colleagues and transferring skills, offering constructive advice, and contributing to the social environment of the office.

Application Requirements:

1-2 years of experience is preferred. L.E.K. does not have a rigid checklist of qualities a potential Associate must possess. Rather, our recruiting experience has shown that outstanding academic achievement, comfort with quantitative analysis, significant professional experiences, notable extracurricular interests, and demonstrated leadership and initiative are excellent preparation for a position within the Associate Program at L.E.K. Consulting.

Please note that for the Associate position, candidates must be legally eligible to work in the U.S. on a permanent basis.

L.E.K Consulting is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
