• Work in a role that blends economics, market strategy, and client engagement
• Shape NAB’s commodity strategy and influence decisions across agribusiness and market
• Collaborate with senior economists, traders, and bankers across the business

Our people are customer obsessed. They prioritise the needs and satisfaction of the customer above all else. Our mindset fosters innovation and creates strong, lasting customer relationships as we strive to be the most customer centric company in Australia and New Zealand.

As a Commodity Strategist, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the Bank’s understanding of global commodity markets, with a particular emphasis on the rural and regional economy. You’ll be responsible for producing high-impact research that informs both strategic decision-making and customer engagement across the organisation.

Each day, you’ll go above and beyond to:

• Lead market analysis and forecasting across soft and hard commodities, using advanced modelling techniques to identify trends and risks.
• Publish high-impact research, from regular market updates to deep-dive thematic reports, tailored for both internal and external audiences.
• Engage directly with clients and stakeholders, including NAB’s Regional & Agribusiness teams, commodity traders, and bankers servicing commodity-exposed sectors.
• Collaborate across NAB’s Economics & Markets Research team, integrating your insights with FX, international, and domestic economic strategy.
• Support risk and portfolio assessments, contributing to NAB’s understanding of exposure within the agricultural lending book.
• Represent NAB at industry events, forums and client briefings, delivering expert commentary and strategic guidance

We’re looking for the best and brightest to deliver the best for our customers. You’ll need:

• Advanced modelling and forecasting skills using quantitative techniques
• Sharp analytical thinking with a focus on actionable insights
• Clear, confident communicator—both written and verbal
• Experience producing market research and presenting to senior stakeholders
• Proven ability to engage and influence diverse internal and external stakeholders
• Familiarity with risk assessment in commodity or agricultural lending
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, data-driven environment
• Collaborative mindset with cross-functional team experience

We respectfully ask candidates to hold any questions for the phone interview, where we’ll discuss the role in detail and answer any questions. This helps to ensure a focussed, efficient and fair application process. The talent acquisition team looks forward to addressing all inquiries at that time if your application progresses.
