Consultant

L.E.K. Consultant

L.E.K. is a global strategy consulting firm that works with some of the most sophisticated, innovative, and successful organisations to solve their most critical business problems. We are growing our Australian practice and actively recruiting experienced professionals to join our high-performing team in either Sydney or Melbourne. 

What you’ll do   

The Consultant role is at the core of our case team structure. As a Consultant, you will work closely with all case team members from Associates to Managers and Partners. Our case team structure provides Consultants with a unique opportunity to manage a team of Associates from day one. You will have primary responsibility for breaking down and analysing the client's strategic issues, developing recommendations and communicating those recommendations.

While casework needs will vary every day, your role will involve:   

• 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 presentation and other deliverable structures
• Participating in the communication of project conclusions to client senior management
• Providing guidance, mentorship, and feedback to more junior staff

Why join L.E.K.?

• Shorter case cycles – At L.E.K. you’ll develop rapidly due to our cases typically being shorter than other firms. This means exposure to more clients, strategic issues, industries and teams and maximum learning.
• Breadth of experience – We work across a range of industries, on a variety of Strategy, Transactions and Organisation and Performance cases.
• Professional development – L.E.K. is committed to investing in your development and one way of doing this is through our Back to the Office Day (BTTOD). One day every month is dedicated to learning and development, with each cohort having a curated curriculum every year.
• 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
• Collaboration – Extensive collaboration with senior clients and the opportunity to work closely with partners on a day-to-day basis creates ongoing learning opportunities for L.E.K. Consultants.
• Fun, stimulating work environment – L.E.K. teams spend substantially more time in their home office relative to other consulting firms, and we pride ourselves on a vibrant social culture facilitated through our various committees including Pride@L.E.K., Women in Business, Community Engagement Committee, Ministry of Fun, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee and more.
