ABOUT THIS ROLE

Audible is actively seeking a talented economist to join our team. Economists at Audible play a critical role in driving success for the business, and also work to raise the bar for Amazon’s broader science / economics community.

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
  • Design and analyze experiments and quasi experimental analyses
  • Collaborate with scientists at Audible and Amazon to build econometric models and develop scalable solutions to complex problems
  • Partner with diverse teams at Audible, including executives, content, product, marketing, and finance, to leverage data-driven insights and economic theory to shape the direction of strategic initiatives
  • Raise the bar for science / economics work, both within Audible and across the broader Amazon community
