Lease Advisory Consultant

Job Summary

As a Lease Data Product Consultant, you will serve as the commercial real estate subject matter expert embedded within Chatham's product and technology organization. Rather than performing lease abstraction yourself, you will bring practitioner judgment to bear on how we build the tooling that does it — helping design, refine, and validate the systems that extract lease data from client lease documents.

Your focus is commercial and structural, not clerical. You will help us decide what to extract and why it matters, how lease provisions should be modeled into an efficient and durable data structure, and where our current approach is leaving value on the table. You will validate tool outputs against your own expert understanding of how leases actually work, and partner closely with engineers and product managers to translate that expertise into better tooling.

Key Responsibilities

• Partner with product and technology teams to design and refine in-house tooling that extracts lease data from client lease documents.
• Validate tool outputs against source documents and expert judgment, and feed structured findings back into the tooling to drive measurable quality improvements.
• Help define and refine the data model for lease outputs — shaping how provisions are represented so the structure is efficient, scalable, and commercially meaningful.
• Identify provisions and lease concepts that we should be extracting but currently aren't, and make the case for their inclusion based on client value and real estate relevance.
• Diagnose where extraction tooling misinterprets ambiguous or non-standard lease language, and advise on correct interpretation and handling.
• Bring leasing-market conventions and commercial context into product decisions, so the tooling reflects how leases actually function in practice.
• Communicate clearly across a cross-functional team that includes non-real-estate professionals, translating complex lease concepts into terms engineers and product managers can build against.
