The Institutional Banking and Markets (IB&M) business unit manages relationships with major corporate and government clients and institutional investors. The Global Economic & Markets Research (GEMR) division provides clients with regular, real-time research on the Australian economy, international economies (i.e. US, EU, China, Japan, UK and Canada), currency, fixed-income, commodities, and sustainability. The team provides exceptional research and insights, and their work primarily involves developing and communicating economic and financial market views.

What your day will look like:

As a director, you'll play a leading role in shaping and communicating strategic views on base and precious metals. Understanding the decarbonisation challenges facing the resources sector, particularly in Australia, will also be a subject that you will explore. You'll be a visible thought leader, delivering high-impact insights to internal stakeholders and external clients, and helping drive business outcomes across Institutional Banking and Markets.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Monitoring, analysing, and forecasting base and precious metal prices

  • Producing original, timely, and thought-provoking research across written reports, presentations, videos, podcasts, and social media

  • Supporting trading and risk management activities with high-quality analysis and forecasts

  • Building strong relationships with key stakeholders and clients

  • Enhancing the brand and reputation of the team through media engagement and client interactions

  • Leading and mentoring junior economists, fostering a collaborative and high-performance culture

  • Adhering to editorial, media, privacy, and compliance protocols, including GEMR peer review procedures

What you'll bring

To thrive in this role, you'll ideally bring:

  • A deep understanding of commodity markets (preferably base and precious metal experience)

  • Contribute thought leadership to the decarbonisation of the resources sector

  • Relevant experience as a commodity analyst in finance, government, research, or related fields

  • Strong analytical capability and experience working with large datasets

  • Advanced technical skills in Excel and statistical software (R or Python)

  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to distil complex ideas for diverse audiences

  • A collaborative and curious mindset, with a passion for learning and innovation

  • A bachelor's degree in economics (or equivalent); Honours or postgraduate studies highly regarded

  • A leadership style aligned with our principles: obsess over customers, lead as an owner, create exceptional teams, and be curious and humble

This opportunity will give you exposure to a wide range of stakeholders at all levels of the business whilst being part of a team that is focused, smart, hardworking, and passionate about our shared vision to create the very best experience for our customers.

As the successful applicant, you'll be rewarded with a structured career path within the IB&M business that offers a competitive market salary, annual performance incentives, and a flexible working environment.

If you're already part of the Commonwealth Bank Group (including Bankwest, x15ventures), you'll need to apply through Sidekick to submit a valid application. We're keen to support you with the next step in your career.
