Senior Economist, Stores Economics and Science (SEAS)

The Stores Economics and Science (SEAS) team is an interdisciplinary science and economics team whose mission is to solve high-risk, high-return problems for the Stores organization. We leverage frontier science, partner with teams across Amazon, and learn from the tools, experience, and perspectives of others. Our work spans rapid responses to pressing leadership questions, collaborative partnerships to help other teams achieve their goals, and multi-year scientific bets with large upside potential.

We are looking for an economist who can use data-driven modeling and analyses to make the right trade-offs and solve impactful business problems. We seek creative thinkers who can combine a strong economic toolbox with a desire to learn from others, and who know how to execute and deliver on big ideas.

In this role, you will contribute to SEAS' mission in two key ways. First, you will leverage your economic expertise to help design and validate scientific solutions for pressing business challenges. This will involve applying advanced analytical techniques, conducting rigorous data analysis, and proactively proposing high-impact initiatives that can be rapidly prototyped and scaled. Secondly, you will play a crucial role in translating complex economic models and insights into actionable recommendations that directly inform leadership decisions across the organization. This will require strong communication skills to effectively collaborate with cross-functional partners and drive meaningful change.

Key job responsibilities

• Collaborate with cross-functional partner teams to understand their challenges and translate them into rigorous economic frameworks that can be addressed through data analysis, modeling, and experimentation.
• Own the end-to-end development of economic models and analyses, including conducting necessary data gathering, analysis, and validation to drive actionable insights, and
• Effectively communicate your economic findings, models, and proposed solutions to senior business stakeholders, incorporating their feedback to refine your work.
