We are hiring a manager for a cross-functional team that builds ML-based products to help AWS sellers understand customers and optimize sales strategies. This manager will be an important member of the AWS Central Economics and Science team and help set the science and product direction for their team and, by extension, a large part of the org due to within-org collaboration.
Specifically, we’re looking for someone to help define a growth- and business-focused vision for the team. An ideal candidate will think big and understands how to use science to drive measurable incremental business impact by taking insights all the way through to actions that manifest in the real economy. This will be a great opportunity to utilize both causal/econ and ML chops. Someone who has worked on embedded teams or on central science teams with policy implementation involvement is ideal. This role lends itself to increased scope and career growth over time.
Key job responsibilities
This role with interface directly with product owners, scientists/economists, and leadership to create multi-year research and product agendas that drive step change growth for the business. The role will also be an important collaborator with other science teams at AWS.
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. Burn out 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?
