Do you want to leverage your expertise in translating innovative science into impactful products to improve the lives and work of over a million people worldwide? If so, People eXperience Technology Central Science (PXTCS) would love to discuss how you can make that a reality.
PXTCS is an interdisciplinary team that uses economics, behavioral science, statistics, and machine learning to identify products, mechanisms, and process improvements that enhance Amazonians' well-being and their ability to deliver value for Amazon's customers. We collaborate with HR teams across Amazon to make Amazon PXT the most scientific human resources organization in the world.
In this role you will lead and grow a team of scientists responsible for the science strategy and technical implementation innovations across our predictive modeling and forecasting work-streams. These machine learning work-streams include existing models and future models that power leaders across Amazon to make decisions about their businesses. You will build and develop a high-performing team while serving as the strategic science advisor to PXT leaders operating at the Director, VP, and SVP level.
As a people manager, you will coach and mentor your team to identify opportunities where science investment can have material impact on our long-term objectives or annual goals, and help them build consensus around needed investments. You will guide your team across different business domains (corporate, operations, safety) and analysis levels (individual, group, organizational), using various modeling approaches (linear, tree, deep neural network, and LLM-based), enabling stakeholders to make challenging and strategic decisions. While primarily focused on people leadership, you maintain technical depth to effectively review and guide your team's development and delivery of complex science modeling and implementation problems.
You will develop your team's technical vision while staying current with emergent AI/ML science and engineering trends, helping your organization focus in a rapidly evolving landscape. Key responsibilities include organizational planning, hiring strategy, career development, and building the next generation of technical leaders. We are looking for a people leader who can create an inclusive team environment, think big, move fast, and inspire their team to transform the way leaders use data to drive business success. If you excel at building and leading high-performing technical teams and are passionate about developing both technology and people, come join us as we work hard, have fun, and make history.
