Who you are

You have a strong background in economics, particularly in macroeconometrics and empirical macroeconomics — your experience includes applying time-series statistical methods to analyze economic data and forecast trends. You are adept at using micro and panel data to enhance traditional aggregate models, demonstrating a solid understanding of economic principles and their application in real-world scenarios.

You will develop econometric models to understand past performance and predict future trends, ensuring that the company remains competitive in a rapidly changing market.

You will collaborate with scientists and experts from various fields to address key business challenges — your role will involve interpreting complex data and providing actionable recommendations that enhance customer experience and operational efficiency. You will also document your findings and present them to stakeholders, ensuring that your analyses are understood and utilized effectively.

What we offer

Amazon provides a dynamic work environment where you can leverage your economic expertise to make a significant impact — you will have access to cutting-edge tools and technologies that facilitate your research and analysis.
