Senior Economist, Amazon Stores Economics and Science (SEAS)

Amazon • Palo Alto, CA • 3h ago

Description

Stores Economics and Science (SEAS) is an interdisciplinary team in Amazon's Stores organization with a peak-jumping mission: we apply expertise in science and engineering to move from local to global optima in methods, models, and software. We pursue this mission by leveraging frontier science, collaborating with partner teams, and learning from the tools, experience, and perspective of others. We scale by solving problems, first in the small to prove concepts, and then in the large by building scalable solutions. We also help other teams within Amazon scale by hiring and developing the best and embedding them in other business units.

We are looking for a Senior Economist to drive high-impact economic analysis and modeling that shapes how Amazon's Stores business makes decisions. In this role, you will work in a team of economists, scientists, and engineers to identify key business questions, design rigorous analytical frameworks, and deliver actionable insights to senior leadership and partner teams. You will own end-to-end research (from problem formulation and data analysis through modeling and stakeholder communication) in areas such as pricing, demand estimation, substitution measurement, and experiment design.

Your responsibilities include developing economic models and empirical analyses that inform strategic decisions, designing and analyzing experiments, and translating complex findings into clear recommendations for technical and non-technical audiences. You will also mentor junior economists and help raise the bar on economic rigor across partner teams.

The ideal candidate has a PhD in Economics and deep expertise in causal inference and applied econometrics. Experience with large-scale data, proficiency in statistical programming (Python or similar), and familiarity with machine learning methods are a plus. To be successful in this role, you should be comfortable operating with ambiguity, able to independently scope and prioritize research agendas, skilled at influencing decisions through rigorous analysis, and comfortable with using AI tools.

Basic Qualifications

PhD in economics or equivalent

Experience in econometrics (e.g., program evaluation, forecasting, time series, panel data, or high dimensional problems), economic theory, and quantitative methods

Experience working with software developers and product managers

Experience in building statistical models using R, Python, STATA, or a related software

Preferred Qualifications

Experience in developing and executing an analytic vision to solve business-relevant problems

Experience in industry, consulting, government or academic research

Experience with machine learning models
