Manager, Senior Economist, AWS Central Econ and Science
Job ID : 2787576 Amazon.com Services LLC
We are hiring a Senior Economist who is excited about leading a team that develops and implements frontier causal inference for Amazon Web Services (AWS).
The problem space includes program evaluation, experimental platform design in non-standard settings, and identification in two and multi-sided markets.
Almost all inference problems are part of larger structural relationships with ambiguity so strong applied theory is also key to this position.
Key Job Responsibilities
This role will interface directly with executives, product owners, and science ICs and leadership to create multi-year research agendas that drive step change growth for the business.
This role is important for the development of the strategic direction of the AWS Central Economics and Science team. This role will report directly to the Chief Economist of AWS and help develop and implement science best practices for the team in collaborative partnership with other scientists, economists, and engineers in the org.
The role will also be an important collaborator with other science teams at AWS, especially those working on productivity and seller resource allocation.
A Day in the Life
Our team takes big swings and works on hard cross-organizational problems where the optimal success rate is not 100%. We also ask people to grow their skills and stretch and make sure we do it in a supportive and fun environment.
It’s about empirically measured impact, advancement, and fun on our team. We work hard during work hours but we also don’t encourage working at nights or on weekends except in very rare, high-stakes cases.
Burnout isn’t a successful long-run strategy. Because we invest in the long-run success of our group, it’s important to have hobbies, relax, and then come to work refreshed and excited.
It makes for bigger impact, faster skill accrual, and thus career advancement.
About the Team
Our group is technically rigorous and encourages ongoing academic conference participation and publication. Our leaders are here for you and to enable you to be successful.
We believe in being servant leaders focused on influence : good data work has little value if it doesn’t translate into actionable insights that are rolled out and impact the real economy.
We are communication-centric since being able to explain what we do ensures high success rates and lowers administrative churn.
Also : we laugh a lot. If it’s not fun, what’s the point?
