Job description

Where will Amazon's growth come from in the next year? What about over the next five? Which product lines are poised to quintuple in size? Are we investing enough in our infrastructure, or too much? How do our customers react to changes in prices, product selection, or delivery times? These are among the most important questions at Amazon today. EDS is hiring a Principal Economist to answer these questions for our European business. The role will work collaboratively with European leaders, Finance teams, and the global Supply Chain Optimization Technology (SCOT) team. You will have an opportunity to own the long-run outlook for Amazon's European consumer business and shape strategic decisions at the highest level. The role will require experience in technical methods at the frontier of economics to develop formal models to understand the past and the present, predict the future, and identify relevant risks and opportunities. For example, we analyze the internal and external drivers of growth and profitability and how these drivers interact with the customer experience in the short, medium and long-term. We build econometric models of dynamic systems, using our world class data tools, formalizing problems using rigorous science to solve business issues, and further delight customers. The role is a good fit for candidates with research experience in: macroeconometrics and/or empirical macroeconomics; international macroeconomics; time-series econometrics; forecasting; financial econometrics and/or empirical finance; and the use of micro and panel data to improve and validate traditional aggregate models.
