Consultant

The role of the Consultant has a high level of responsibility for guiding and managing the case team, including:

• Identifying the Critical Issues – Consultants work with Partners and Managers to outline the key business issues needing resolution. L.E.K. Consultants develop the business acumen necessary to quickly identify the key 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 information on market growth drivers, competitive profiling or broad market trends

• Managing the Team’s Day-to-Day Activities – The management of less experienced colleagues is as much a part of the Consultant role as solving business issues. A significant responsibility for L.E.K. Consultants is guiding and mentoring more junior Associates on a day-to-day basis

• Solving the Case – At the end of the day, our clients expect high quality, actionable answers to their business problems. Consultants are on point to ensure the team is on-track to accurately solve the problem and deliver an answer. Consultants supervise analyses, develop the structure for the final output, provide quality control, and in most cases, participate in the delivery of the conclusion to senior management at the client.

Why L.E.K. is Different

• Immediate Management Responsibility – new Consultants have the opportunity to manage Associates from day one

• International Experience – Approximately one-third of L.E.K. projects involve an international component, which allows Consultants to work in international case teams or, if they choose, to relocate to international offices on either a temporary or full-time basis

• Upward Mobility – L.E.K. is a meritocracy with a young, entrepreneurial culture. Professionals are promoted commensurate with their capabilities and contribution

• Fun, Stimulating Work Environment – a strong spirit of camaraderie and helpfulness exists amongst all levels

• Consultants are generally based in the office although some cases may be based on client site
