Job Summary
We’re seeking an Associate Commercial Real Estate Valuation Advisor to support valuation engagements for institutional clients managing commercial real estate loan portfolios. This role blends technical valuation work with growing exposure to client advisory responsibilities, offering a unique opportunity to develop both analytical expertise and consultative skills.

This role is designed for someone who is intellectually curious, eager to grow, and motivated by solving complex problems in a collaborative, fast-moving environment. You will build expertise in nuanced loan structures, sophisticated valuation models and methodologies, and the broader capital markets that influence investment performance. One of the most unique aspects of this role is the pace of development and early client exposure. Team members who demonstrate strong technical capability, judgment, and communication skills are given meaningful opportunities to engage directly with clients early in their time with the team.
You’ll gain exposure to real-world investment decisions, institutional portfolio management dynamics, and evolving capital markets trends in ways that are difficult to replicate in most roles.

<li>Collaborate across Chatham’s debt management, valuation, and technology teams to deliver integrated client solutions.</li>
<li>Contribute to process improvements, automation initiatives, and the continued evolution of Chatham’s valuation capabilities.</li>
<li>Gain direct exposure to sophisticated institutional portfolios, complex investment structures, and real-world dynamics across the commercial real estate industry.</li>
</ul>
Qualifications
Must-Haves:
<ul>
<li>2-5 years of experience in institutional real estate, valuation advisory, or investment management.</li>
<li>Exposure to commercial real estate, debt structures, valuation methodologies, or related financial analysis.</li>
<li>Strong analytical and Excel modeling skills, including discounted cash flow and scenario analysis.</li>

<li>Familiarity with financial documents such as loan agreements, rent rolls, and financial statements.</li>
</ul>
Preferred

<li>Exposure to debt capital markets, loan trading, or structured finance.</li>
<li>Prior experience in a consulting or advisory capacity.</li>
</ul>
What We Offer
<ul>
<li>A team that values curiosity, collaboration, and a shared drive to keep improving ourselves and the client experience.</li>

<li>Comprehensive benefits package: healthcare, retirement matching, generous PTO, and more.</li>
</ul>
