clients and to become their capital markets specialists, allowing them to focus
on their core business.
Chatham has worked hard to create a distinct
work environment that values people, teamwork, integrity, and hard work. We
would rather be governed by principles than rules, and we think that leadership
should be gained through influence, not by title. Our interview and employment
process is designed to attract people who can subscribe to, and constantly
embody, the core values that we represent.
Every member of our team must be completely trustworthy, possess high
ethical standards, and be a great team player.

Role

organization demands a person with broad experience who can dive deep into
specific communication areas. This

trust. You will work with a broad range
of people and must have good interpersonal skills. You must be able to juggle multiple priorities
providing excellent service in all areas and have strong task, organization and
project management skills.
Responsibilities will require working both alone and with groups and you
must be both an excellent listener as well as a strong communicator.
