Principal Research Scientist, Measurement Science, Campaign Measurement & Optimization

The Campaign Measurement & Optimization (CMO) organization is looking for a Principal Research Scientist interested in solving one of the most challenging business problems in marketing measurement, a thought leader with deep expertise in modeling, and scaling measurement science. Working with our team of data scientists, applied scientists, research scientists, and economists, this leader will help redefine marketing measurement at Amazon and its subsidiaries.

The Campaign Measurement & Optimization (CMO) organization’s mission is to be the most trusted source of measurement science solutions to drive marketing investment decisions across Amazon. The CMO team provides incrementality and efficiency measurement services to the marketing stakeholders across Amazon’s lines of business, including Stores, Prime Video, Amazon Devices, Alexa, Amazon Business, Amazon Music, Amazon Fresh, as well as subsidiaries including Audible, Ring, Whole Foods, and more. CMO applies industry leading deep learning based causal inference models to measure omni-channel effectiveness of marketing campaigns from these businesses worldwide. The impact and influence of the organization is tremendous, helping optimize spend decisions on a scale that exceeds many countries’ GDP. Our outputs shape Amazon product and marketing teams’ decisions and therefore how Amazon customers see, use, and value their experience with Amazon.

This is a high-impact role with opportunities to develop systems and analyze marketing effectiveness that contributes billions of dollars to the business. As a lead research scientist in the team, you will be responsible for designing and developing cutting edge measurement and optimization models, while collaborating with businesses, marketers, and software teams to solve key challenges facing the teams. Such challenges include measuring the incremental impact of multi-channel marketing portfolios, developing Deep Learning models for estimating the impact on sparse customer actions, and scaling measurement solutions for WW marketplaces. Unlike many companies who buy existing off-the-shelf marketing measurement systems, we are responsible for studying, designing, and building systems to serve Amazon’s suite of businesses.

In this role, you will be a technical leader in Marketing science research with significant scope, impact, and high visibility. You will champion cutting edge ML models using the latest in Deep Learning, and Transformers. You will lead strategic measurement science initiatives in CMO and across various marketing teams, scaling experimentation and measurement science models, real-time inference, and cross-channel orchestration. As a successful scientist, you are an analytical problem solver who enjoys diving into data, leads development of new frameworks, is excited about investigations and algorithms, and can credibly interface between technical teams and business stakeholders. You are an expert in employing deep learning models to solve business problems, preferably in causal inference. You are a hands-on innovator who can contribute to advancing Marketing measurement technology in a B2C and B2B environment, and push the limits on what’s scientifically possible with a razor sharp focus on measurable customer and business impact. You will coach and guide junior scientists to grow the team’s talent and scale the impact of your work.
