Analyst

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. 

Our Singapore team is growing and looking to hire an Analyst.  As an analyst focusing on the Asian markets, you will collaborate with experienced colleagues in managing engagements and client relationships. Clients include general corporates, private equity, or real estate, with a focus on interest rate and currency hedging.   

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.

Contributors to your success:

• Graduate of an accredited Bachelors. A degree in finance is not required, but quantitative aptitude and the ability to think critically are important.
• The ability to work with large amounts of data and understand causal relationships, attention to detail in both inputs and outputs, experience with statistical analysis and financial modelling a plus.
• Strong verbal and written communication are critical, providing the ability to communicate complex subject matter in a way that educates and prioritizes findings, flexing delivery style to accommodate different audiences, engaging with clients on new project proposals and ongoing delivery, and effective communication through various formats (PowerPoint slides, email, verbal, spreadsheets, etc.).
• The ability to share information internally to grow the capabilities of the team and to seek out knowledge from others when needed, partnering with external clients throughout a project, delivering on internal requirements to support other teams as needed.
• Ability to manage complex projects and transactions in dynamic environments with a fluid set of demands.
• Fluent English: additional language capabilities will be regarded favourably

 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.
