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. 

Institutional real estate investors are navigating increasingly complex and evolving debt portfolios, often across fragmented systems. As a Loan Asset Management Vice President, in our Investment Management team, your mission is to bring clarity and structure to that complexity.

You’ll work with some of the most sophisticated commercial real estate clients in the industry, helping them solve challenges in loan reporting, data management, and portfolio analytics. Leveraging our proprietary technology platform, you’ll transform unstructured loan terms into structured, reliable data – enabling streamlined reporting, sharper analytics, and clearer visibility into portfolio performance. You’ll become a trusted partner in helping clients proactively manage their loan portfolios and make more confident, informed decisions.

• Lead the onboarding of new clients by translating scattered loan data into structured, actionable models in Chatham’s proprietary technology.

• Design and implement bespoke workflows to track covenant test results, loan reporting, and portfolio analytics.

• Support client onboarding by translating loan data into structured, actionable models within Chatham’s proprietary technology platform.

• Design and maintain workflows for loan reporting, covenant tracking, portfolio analytics, cashflow projections, and financing activities including drawdowns, amendments, refinancings to ensure accurate and timely data.

• Prepare client deliverables, including dashboards highlighting key risks, opportunities, upcoming maturities, covenant positions, and performance trends.

• Build and maintain strong client relationships through proactive communication, providing clear, concise explanations of loan mechanics, and portfolio movements.

• Collaborate with technology and product team to continuously improve platform quality, workflows, and the overall client experience.

• Support senior team members in advising clients and ensure consistency and excellence in delivery.

The Role is Ideal for Someone Who:

• Thinks like a detective – you enjoy digging into documents, spotting inconsistencies, and solving puzzles others might miss.

• Has a sharp eye for detail and takes pride in getting things right the first time – you know that small oversights can have big consequences.

• Communicates clearly and confidently, especially when translating technical details into client-friendly language.

• Stays calm in ambiguity and adapts quickly to changing client needs.

• Take ownership of your work and consistently delivers high-quality, reliable results.

• Is energised by collaboration, works well as part of a team and eager to support and learn from others.

What Success Looks Like in the Role:

• You’re confidently modelling loan terms and covenant structures, actively contributing to client conversations, and delivering insights that help clients make smarter, faster decisions.

• You’re independently managing client portfolios, identifying data gaps, and delivering reporting that drives smarter decisions.

• You’re leading client conversations, anticipating needs, and shaping the evolution of our platform through feedback and collaboration.
