London

Overview:

Chatham Financial is a global financial advisory and technology firm specializing in debt and derivatives solutions. We partner with leading real estate, private equity, infrastructure, and corporate clients to help them manage financial risk and make more informed capital markets decisions. With a strong focus on client service, technical excellence, and long-term partnerships, Chatham combines deep expertise with a collaborative, people-centered culture.  

Launch Your Career as a Future Expert

At Chatham, an analyst role is more than a first job — it’s the foundation of a career built on expertise, trust, and impact. You’ll bring clarity to complexity, deliver insights that drive action, and interact directly with senior decision-makers.

Chatham’s Financial Risk Advisory team is experiencing continued growth in interest rate and foreign currency (FX) hedging activity. To support this momentum, we’re hiring Transaction Operations Analysts to play a key role in the smooth execution and documentation of hedging transactions. This role is critical to delivering timely operational excellence while continuously improving efficiency, accuracy, and scalability across our operations.

You’ll contribute at the intersection of client service, transaction management, and documentation—coordinating with internal teams, clients, and counterparty banks to help execute financial hedges that mitigate risk for our clients.

What You’ll Do

  • Build subject matter expertise in derivative operations—including onboarding, trade documentation, trade capture, reporting, and regulatory workflows.
  • Deliver timely, accurate transaction support to internal teams and clients.
  • Enter and manage transaction details and documentation within Chatham’s proprietary platform.
  • Confirm and validate trade economics to ensure accuracy at execution and post-trade.
  • Monitor and report on key operational workflows, including documentation status, deal pipelines, client communications, and deadlines.
  • Collaborate with our central operations team to meet compliance requirements, including Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) protocols.
  • Review loan agreements to extract and interpret economic terms relevant to hedge structuring.
  • Collaborate with central regulatory team to help clients meet regulatory compliance requirements (i.e. EMIR, Dodd-Frank) and serve as a resource on derivatives regulation from a process perspective.
  • Become a trusted partner for internal stakeholders, clients, and counterparty banks.

What You’ll Experience

Early Exposure to High-Impact Work - From day one, you’ll contribute to real client engagements. Your work will support strategic decisions for some of the most prominent names in global finance, giving you a front-row seat to real-world financial decision-making.

Mentorship That Builds Mastery - You’ll learn through hands-on work, mentorship, team-based collaboration, and structured feedback. You’ll also complete six firmwide courses led by senior leaders, giving you both deep expertise and a broad business perspective—laying a strong foundation to become a trusted advisor.

A Platform for Long-Term Growth - As your expertise grows, so will your impact. You'll take on more responsibility and contribute to thought leadership. The skills you develop here will set you up for long-term success—at Chatham or beyond.

Shaping the Future of Finance - You’ll gain exposure to the technologies behind our solutions. Through rotations, cross-functional learning, and hands-on experience with product development, you'll see how tech and data are reshaping financial services.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

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.
