    Are you passionate about solving some of the most challenging and impactful measurement questions in B2B marketing? AWS Marketing is looking for an Economist to develop the science behind how we measure and optimize brand awareness investment. This is a greenfield opportunity to build a brand measurement capability from the ground up — defining the frameworks, methodologies, and best practices that will shape how AWS thinks about upper-funnel investment. In this role, you will lead the design and development of a measurement framework for AWS's brand and upper-funnel marketing investments. You will work at the intersection of economics, marketing science, and business strategy to answer critical questions: How much should AWS invest in brand awareness globally, and over what time horizon? What is the impact of brand on customer preferences such as willingness to pay and cost of conversion? How should brand and demand generation investments be combined to maximize overall returns? How do upper-funnel salience metrics connect to revenue and long-term business outcomes? This is as much a consulting role as it is an analytical one. You will frame investment questions and present findings to senior leadership (VP-level and above), operate independently in a space where established methodology does not yet exist in B2B marketing, and bring external best practices to inform a novel, credible approach tailored for AWS. Key job responsibilities - Design and build a rigorous measurement framework for brand and upper-funnel marketing investment at AWS - Develop econometric models to estimate the causal impact of brand awareness on customer preferences, acquisition costs, and revenue - Quantify the optimal level of brand investment and the returns relative to other marketing channels - Connect upper-funnel brand metrics (e.g., aided/unaided awareness, consideration, salience) to downstream business outcomes including revenue and customer lifetime value - Apply causal inference methods suited to long-horizon, slow-moving brand effects — distinguishing these from the shorter feedback loops of performance marketing - Partner with marketing leaders, finance, and strategy teams to translate findings into actionable investment recommendations - Consult with business stakeholders to frame brand investment tradeoffs and communicate results with clarity and credibility - Stay current on brand measurement literature and bring best practices from academia, consulting, and industry into AWS's approach - Collaborate with data scientists and engineers to operationalize models and integrate brand measurement into existing marketing science products About the team The AWS Marketing Science team is a group of scientists, economists, and engineers building science products that power marketing decisions across AWS. We provide strategic support in measuring outcomes, targeting customers, and forecasting growth and consult with marketing stakeholders on how to optimize their investment. Our team has deep expertise in measuring the impact of lower-funnel marketing activities — including multi-touch attribution, incrementality testing, and long-term ROI — and is building the capabilities to measure brand investment, an investment that operates thorough a distinct mechanisms and requiring a distinct scientific approach, and you will own it.

    AWS Experience Analytics (EXA) is seeking a Research Scientist to lead customer perspectives research for the team. EXA exists to turn customer understanding into products and intelligence that teams across AWS can use. We run customer experience deep dives, product futures research, and forward-looking studies that bring decision-makers face-to-face with how customers experience AWS. The research this team produces shapes product strategy, investment decisions, and how AWS leadership thinks about the customer. What we need is someone who thinks like a scientist about customers. You have the statistical depth to work with complex behavioral data — building models, testing hypotheses, finding structure in messy signals — and the instinct to go beyond the data when the data is not enough. You are not satisfied with a model that predicts behavior without understanding why. The landscape is shifting. AWS customers are moving from traditional console-based building toward AI-augmented, agent-primary, and autonomous workflows. Understanding who these customers are, how they think, and what they need requires new research approaches — not just new data. You will design the studies, develop the frameworks, and produce the evidence that helps AWS see its customers clearly as this transformation unfolds. You will work alongside data scientists, applied scientists, engineers, and research teams who are building the data foundations for customer understanding. Key job responsibilities - Apply rigorous statistical methods to customer experience data — segmentation analysis, behavioral pattern analysis, causal inference, and outcome measurement — grounded in the team's customer lifecycle data and metrics frameworks. - Produce research findings structured to inform product strategy and leadership decisions. - Develop research frameworks and approaches for understanding emerging customer populations — AI-augmented builders, agent-primary developers, Gen Z digital natives — where existing methods may not apply. - Write compelling, clear research narratives for technical and non-technical audiences, including senior leadership. - Contribute to the team's scientific direction and mentor others. About the team Diverse Experiences AWS values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the preferred qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates to apply. If your career is just starting, has not followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, do not let it stop you from applying. Mentorship and Career Growth We are continuously raising our performance bar as we strive to become Earth's Best Employer. That is why you will find endless knowledge-sharing, mentorship, and other career-advancing resources here to help you develop into a better-rounded professional. Work/Life Balance We value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the expense of sacrifices at home, which is why we strive for flexibility as part of our working culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there is nothing we cannot achieve in the cloud.
