Amazon • Seattle, WA

1d

About The Position

You will define and execute programs that improve measurement of ads
performance. Whether the advertiser is a multi billion dollar brand or a
fledgling seller, when they need to assess return on their investment in ads,
they use our metrics. Such metrics have significant business & technical
ambiguity, and organizational complexity. We are looking for a leader who knows
how to deliver results in the face of such challenges.

Our space is internet scale measurement. We work closely with scientists
(applied and/or data) and PM-Ts to invent measurement techniques, and turn them
into scope we can deliver, then deliver it on time. It’s a high ambiguity field,
which requires understanding of business, a complex technical landscape and
constraints of measurement techniques, e.g. privacy regulation or limits caused
by data sparsity. Our end product is data. We end up building data pipelines.

This is a high pace environment, because we're inventing on behalf of all Amazon
advertisers, who have diverse and evolving needs. Its also high impact, because
our measurement is the primary guide of a multi billion dollar spend.

About the team
We're passionate, opinionated, yet respectful and supportive. We start with the
data and end with the data. We make an assumption of positive intent.
