Overview:

We don’t simply hire employees. We invest in them. When you work at Chatham, we empower you — offering professional development opportunities to help you grow in your career, no matter if you've been here for five months or 15 years. Chatham has worked hard to create a distinct work environment that values people, teamwork, integrity, and client service. You will have immediate opportunities to partner with talented subject matter experts, work on complex projects, and contribute to the value Chatham delivers every day. 

Within our Advisory Services practice, we offer analysts a multitude of opportunities to start your career path in becoming a subject matter expert. Both the learning experience and business environment are highly dynamic; therefore the analyst role and career path are dynamic and evolving. The team is small, fostering a pragmatic, hands-on approach to client deliverables. From day 1 you will be interacting with clients and assisting in solving their requirements. Chatham’s Hedging practice advises clients on interest rate, foreign currency, and commodity hedging across industries and sectors spanning: real estate, private equity, ASX 100, Fortune 1000 corporations, and financial institutions. Hedging teams across these sectors execute more than $750 billion in hedging transactions annually.

Our Australian team is currently in search of an analyst to function in a multi-faceted role.

In this role you will

Gain a thorough understanding of derivative products and markets by focusing on pre- and post-trade activities as they move towards client advisory and direct client interface. Learning takes place alongside experienced team members in an apprenticeship-style format to:

  • Structure and model derivative transactions.
  • Prepare and review transaction documents to assist with transaction execution, legal and regulatory compliance.
  • Assist with client and market research, as well as preparation of client deliverables.

While the specific responsibilities of an Analyst vary, here are some examples of responsibilities managed across our current Analysts:

  • Support deal managers in structuring, pricing, executing and communicating transactions.
  • Conduct detailed quantitative and qualitative analysis of client interest rate and foreign exchange exposures.
  • Work directly with clients in onboarding their company’s financial portfolios into our technology platform.
  • Organize contracts and provide support of consulting engagements to streamline internal success.
  • Support independent debt valuation models, research, and reporting.
  • Conduct market research and prepare client presentations.
  • Assist in preparation of month end accounting deliverables for clients

Your Impact

Our goal is to develop people to their fullest potential so that they can achieve greater responsibilities, and have impact on those around them, clients and teammates alike. While our work is in the financial realm, the primary qualification to apply is a willingness to join our community. No professional experience or certifications are required as we provide the relevant education through a mixture of training and apprenticeship programs, but our process is highly selective as we intentionally seek candidates with traits that contribute to the balance of firm’s culture.

Contributors To Your Success

For government reporting purposes, we ask candidates to respond to the below self-identification survey. Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

As set forth in Chatham Financial’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
