Investment Management Advisory Analyst: Early Career Growth

Job Description:

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.

Launch Your Career as a Future Expert At Chatham, an analyst role is more than a first job — it’s the start of a career built on expertise, trust, and impact. From day one, you’ll work with senior decision-makers in real estate, private equity, infrastructure, and corporate finance. You’ll help bring clarity to complexity and deliver insights that drive action; interacting directly with senior decision-makers. You’ll join the Investment Management advisory team and begin building deep subject matter expertise in areas such as debt management, covenant monitoring and debt valuation. This immersive experience accelerates your learning, sharpens your judgment, and helps you make meaningful contributions early in your career.

Why This Role Matters Great advisors don’t just understand markets — they understand people. You’ll learn how to think like your clients, ask the right questions, and offer advice that’s both technically sound and strategically tailored. Whether you’re advising a global real estate investment manager or a more boutique investment firm, your ability to deliver value depends on your ability to see the world through their eyes. With support from mentors and peers, you’ll be challenged to build the insight and confidence needed to become a trusted partner.

What You’ll Experience While an Analyst’s specific responsibilities will vary by team, the highlights below reflect the core experiences and types of work you can expect to be exposed to through Chatham’s Analyst Program.

• Early Exposure to High-Impact Work: Analysts support real client engagements from the start – helping to navigate and model complex financing structures in Chatham’s proprietary technology platform, designing and implementing bespoke workflows to track covenant test results and portfolio performance, as well as providing valuations for a wide range of debt instruments. You support strategic decision-making through activities like valuations, market research, and data management – all while contributing to engagements with some of the most prominent names in global finance. You’ll gain a front-row seat to real financial decision-making.
• Mentorship That Builds Mastery: You'll learn from experienced professionals through mentorship, team-based learning, and structured feedback. In addition to developing technical and strategic skills, you’ll complete six firmwide courses led by senior leaders, giving you both deep expertise and a broad business perspective — a unique foundation for becoming a trusted, impactful advisor.
• A Platform for Long-Term Growth: As you develop expertise and judgment, you’ll take on more responsibility, manage client relationships, and contribute to thought leadership. The skills you gain here are a foundation for long-term success, at Chatham or beyond.
• Shaping the Future of Finance: You’ll have opportunities to work with the technologies that power our solutions. Whether through hands-on rotations, cross-functional learning, or direct exposure to product development, you’ll gain a front-row seat to how tech and data are reshaping financial services.
