Jigsaw’s Viewpoint

NAB is one of Jigsaw Search’s most attractive procurement clients, a statistic that is also borne out by the comparatively low level of staff turnover they have experienced over the last two years.

With this departmental stability NAB presents a great place for procurement candidates to gain value corporate experience whilst increasing and sharing their operational knowledge with like-minded peers and managers.

The department operates under a settled category management structure with a consistent focus on innovation, the leveraging of current partnerships, total cost of ownership and managing spend in accordance with the bank’s short and medium term strategic goals.

The relationship with the rest of the organisation is very strong, due to the consistent value that has been added by the procurement department over the last 2-3 years.

The Commercial Services Australia Group also delivers commercial support across Property, Workplace of the Future, Service Delivery and Environment/Sustainability functions for the business.

From a cultural perspective employees within NAB appear to be team focused, smart, technically agile and have excellent stakeholder engagement skills attributes that are a consistent requirement for every new hire and a skill set that new employees to thrive and progress within the business.

NAB have partnered exclusively with Jigsaw Search to identify on an ongoing basis, the most talented commercial procurement candidates to enable further growth to what is already a very accomplished procurement department.
