Chatham's ability to provide this combination of advice and suite of services is unique in the marketplace. Our team members advise clients on the design and implementation of hedge accounting strategies on high-profile interest rate, foreign currency and commodity hedging transactions. We consult on a high volume of transactions annually, each with its own set of facts and circumstances, which provides our team members with tremendous opportunity to learn quickly.

In this role you will:

• Develop an excellent understanding of hedge accounting and the underlying economics of interest rate, foreign currency and commodities hedging through daily interaction with Chatham's hedging advisors
• Advise clients up to the highest levels of accounting and finance on structuring, implementing and ongoing accounting for various hedging strategies, including preparation of board presentation materials, accounting policy papers and technical accounting memos, pro-forma financial statement impact analysis, hedge designation memos, hedge effectiveness tests and sensitivity analyses

• Strong teamwork mentality with the understanding that a committed and diverse team always outperforms an individual
• Strong attention to detail
• Excellent oral and written communication skills with the ability to distill complex topics concisely to a diverse range of client audiences
• Quantitative/analytical skills and mathematical proficiency
• Ability to prioritize competing demands to deliver a high level of client service

In this role you will:

The purpose of the role is to ensure all transaction details are in Chatham's systems accurately and as agreed upon at execution. Data entry errors can have significant consequences to the economics of the transaction or to their accounting treatment, and it is therefore critical that team members understand transaction-related market conventions, payments, and valuations. This role will provide support for transactions executed by Chatham's real estate, private equity, corporate, and financial institutions sectors. We expect primary responsibilities to include:

• Transaction and data review
  • Work as part of the larger team to check the data entry on transactions as they are executed
  • Verify calculation amounts and build payment schedules
  • Develop an understanding of the underlying transactions in order to identify loading errors
  • Check daily control reports to monitor unusual movements in transaction valuations and market data

  • Develop SQL skills and help create database queries

• The role may also include opportunities to contribute to the team in other capacities as interests and team needs align.

Your impact:

Our team works in partnership with Chatham's sector advisory teams and clients to help them efficiently navigate the data quality, operational, and regulatory compliance aspects of a transaction. We strive to continually improve the workflows we are responsible for and have the chance to do so by implementing process changes and/or leveraging supporting technology. Team members play a crucial role in these process improvements and serve as subject matter experts, providing regular training and resources for all Chatham teams.

Contributors to your success:

• 2 years of experience working in operations or data quality may be beneficial but is not required
• An interest in data quality, data management, and process improvement
• Comfort with basic math skills and use of Microsoft Excel
• High level of attention to detail, accuracy, and organization
• Ability to multitask and independently prioritize workload
• Strong verbal and written communication skills
• Ability to work extra/non-standard hours around month- and quarter-ends (and other special cases) to support critical business processes
• Experience with VBA and SQL are beneficial, but not necessary

We seek individuals that will thrive in our culture and can make a significant impact over the long term. Most of our team members do not come to Chatham with a deep understanding of derivatives; therefore, we conduct classroom and apprentice-style training. We look for people who have consistently demonstrated drive, determination, and academic/professional accomplishment throughout their lives. We invest a great deal of time and training with our employees and we are looking for individuals who want to make a long-term commitment to the company.
