If you are a bright, motivated leader interested in tackling some of the toughest and most interesting business problems, consider joining L.E.K. as a Consultant.

The Consultant role is at the core of our case team structure. Coming from diverse backgrounds and using their creative problem-solving and managerial skills, Consultants at L.E.K. guide our case teams to provide breakthrough insights that create real value. You will make a difference by driving our teams to deliver actionable advice and strategies to help our clients win.

Consultants at L.E.K. manage a team of Associates and/or Associate Consultants and are on point to ensure the team is addressing client problems and delivering the best answer. While every case is different, Consultants' primary responsibilities typically include:

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

L.E.K. recruits the best and the brightest and offers very competitive compensation and benefits. In addition to immediate management responsibility and high-impact work, we promote Consultants to Managers as fast as they develop, based on demonstrated performance and contributions.

• Upward mobility: L.E.K. is a meritocracy with an entrepreneurial culture and frequent feedback. We rapidly progress responsibility to accelerate our team’s development.
