As an Associate, you'll dive into high-impact strategic projects at critical inflection points for our clients. You’ll take on significant responsibilities quickly, working alongside exceptionally talented, diverse, and down-to-earth colleagues who share a common value of developing others while accelerating their own growth.
While casework varies every day, Associates’ primary responsibilities typically include:
- Conducting primary and secondary research on clients’ markets, customers, and competitors.
- Performing rigorous analysis to drive insights and actionable recommendations.
- Collaborating with team members to communicate key findings to the client in written presentations and verbal interactions that deliver maximum impact.
Your Role:
- Drive insights for clients by gathering, analyzing, and synthesizing research and data to address core strategic issues.
- Collaborate closely with team members in a connected environment that values mutual respect, creativity, and varied perspectives.
- Uncover novel information, conduct rigorous analysis, and communicate high-quality work—making a lasting impact on our clients and shaping your future.
Position Start Date: February 24th, 2025 (Offered on a first-come, first-served basis).
At L.E.K., we offer a fast-paced experience with a multitude of learning opportunities, accelerated growth, and a variety of career paths. Here, your colleagues will help shape your success as you learn, grow, and contribute to others' success.
L.E.K. recruits the best and the brightest, then offers them the broadest range of high-impact, frequent, and diverse cases for maximum learning. We are also committed to investing in your training and development and providing excellent analytical and leadership skills for your progression in tenure, as well as for any future opportunities in top graduate schools or roles in industry, non-profits, start-ups, or investment firms.
In addition to very competitive compensation and benefits, we promote Associates to Consultant and beyond, based on demonstrated performance.
WHY L.E.K.?
The Associate role at L.E.K. is differentiated from other firms in several key ways:
- Immediate workstream responsibility: L.E.K. Associates are expected to be integral members of the team right from the start, immediately driving mission-critical work.
- Breadth of experiences: While our projects span most industries and services, our focus is strategy and M&A. Associates 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 65% of Associates gain international exposure within their first 3 years, either through projects staffed across global offices, travel to international client locations, or, if they choose, by relocating to an international office 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.
Qualifications and Experience Needed
- Bachelor’s degree from a top-tier institution with a record of academic excellence.
- 6 to 12 months of full-time professional experience post-graduation in a relevant field.
- Strong analytical skills, with the ability to interpret complex data.
- Excellent verbal and written communication abilities.
- Proven leadership and initiative in academic, professional, or extracurricular activities.
- Experience working in a fast-paced, high-impact environment.
