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

WHY L.E.K.?
The Consultant role at L.E.K. is differentiated from other firms in several key ways:
-
Early management responsibility: Consultants have the opportunity to manage the case process and Associate team (L.E.K. hires two undergraduates for every new Consultant).
-
Breadth of experiences: While our projects span most industries and services, our focus is strategy and M&A. Consultants typically work on ~6-10 projects a year, 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 Consultants 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. We rapidly progress responsibility to accelerate our team’s development.
