Loan Asset Management Associate

Kennett Square, PA, USA

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.   

Job Summary: 

Institutional real estate investors are navigating increasingly complex and evolving debt portfolios, often across fragmented systems. As a Loan Asset Management Associate 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. Over time, you’ll become a trusted partner in helping clients proactively manage their loan portfolios and make more confident, informed decisions. 

What You’ll Do: 

  • Lead the onboarding of new clients by translating scattered loan data into structured, actionable models in Chatham’s proprietary technology.
  • Design and implement workflows to track covenant test results, loan reporting, and portfolio analytics.
  • Monitor client portfolios for changes like paydowns, drawdowns, and refinancing — and ensure data stays accurate and up to date.
  • Prepare dashboards that surface key risks, upcoming maturities, and performance trends.
  • Build strong relationships with clients through regular calls and proactive insights.
  • Collaborate with our technology team to enhance Chatham’s technology offering based on client feedback and evolving market needs.
  • Train and mentor new team members to ensure consistency and excellence in delivery. 

What Success Looks Like in the First Year: 

  • Month 3: You’re confidently modeling loan terms and covenant structures, actively contributing to client conversations, and delivering insights that help clients make smarter, faster decisions.
  • Month 6: You’re independently managing client portfolios, identifying data gaps, and delivering reporting that drives smarter decisions.
  • Month 12: You’re leading client conversations, anticipating needs, and shaping the evolution of our platform through feedback and collaboration. 

This 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.
  • Takes ownership of your work and consistently delivers high-quality, reliable results.
  • Is energized by collaboration and eager to learn from others. 

Qualifications: 

  • Bachelor’s degree in business, finance, economics, real estate, or a related field.
  • 2+ years of experience in real estate finance, asset management, loan servicing, or real estate transaction law.
  • Strong attention to detail and the ability to identify and extract key data from documents.
  • Exposure to commercial real estate loans, with an understanding of their structure, terminology, and common financial covenants.
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal. 

What We Offer: 

  • A team that values curiosity, collaboration, and a shared drive to keep improving ourselves and the client experience.
  • Immediate access to subject matter experts and complex, meaningful client work.
  • Competitive compensation, performance bonuses, and professional development budgets.
  • Comprehensive benefits package: healthcare, retirement matching, generous PTO, and more. 

Sound like a fit, but not sure you meet every bullet? Apply anyway — we value potential and passion as much as pedigree. We’re building a team of people who love helping others succeed and who are energized by solving complex financial puzzles with real-world impact.

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.
