We want to meet you!
Cultivating leadership is paramount to our culture. We take our mission to train the next generation of life sciences leaders seriously. We embrace different goals, backgrounds, and interests by providing a multitude of opportunities to support the needs of our diverse workforce. We pride ourselves on building tailored solutions to complex problems for our clients and we refuse to use cookie-cutter frameworks. Instead, we rely on our consultants to approach each challenge with fresh and innovative ideas. As a result, we develop our people to be strategic thinkers who have the confidence to contribute and be successful in a broad range of project types and client situations. Thereby, we have designed our interview process to assess the breadth of capabilities required for your success.
Our Strategy Consulting interview process can involve multiple rounds of interviews. Interviews are a two-way process where we get to learn more about you, your professional accomplishments, and interests, as you discover who we are and showcase your authentic self.
What to expect
Initial Interview:
The first part of your interview will be a 30-minute conversation with a Lumanity consultant. This is an opportunity for you to highlight your relevant experience and to communicate your interest in Lumanity. Your interviewer will ask you questions to understand your academic and professional background and familiarity with the life sciences industry. This part of the interview is a two-way conversation, so please feel free to ask questions of your interviewer. This is also a chance for you to learn more about Lumanity.
The second part of your interview will be a 30-minute case exercise centered on a short, industry-relevant slide presentation that will be provided to you at the beginning of the exercise. The goal of the presentation case is to assess your ability to synthesize data and draw meaningful conclusions, and your ability to prepare, edit, and present slides in a logical order.
Second Interview:
For your second interview, you will have an industry-relevant case study and discussion. This exercise is an opportunity to demonstrate how you approach a problem and structure your response given limited information. The answer you reach is not as important as the process you take, how clearly you explain your approach and assumptions, and your ability to incorporate feedback and be adaptable during the exercise. Strong candidates consistently highlight the strategic implications and business considerations underpinning their recommendations.
Management and Leadership Team Interviews:
Your late-stage interviews (third and fourth rounds) with senior members of our team will take a discussion-based format where your interviewers will be looking to further understand your qualifications, depth of thinking, critical reasoning, and coachability. Your final round will also include a peer-level “coffee chat” interview with a more junior consultant.
