ABOUT THIS ROLE

Audible is actively seeking a talented economist to join our team.

The ideal candidate will excel at (and enjoy) wearing many hats, and be able to effectively translate business questions into tractable science problems, dive deep into data for analytical insights, and represent the team in a range of settings - from reviews with senior Amazon scientists to reviews with senior Audible / Amazon business leaders. We are open to candidates from a range of fields / backgrounds (including both structural modeling and reduced-form causal inference). If you are passionate about leveraging economic insights to shape the future of digital media, we encourage you to apply and be a part of our dynamic team.

As an Economist, you will...

• Utilize rigorous economic thinking and econometric methods to provide data-driven recommendations
