ABOUT THIS ROLE
We are seeking a data scientist builder to join the Audible economics team.

- Collaborate closely with Product, Content, and Marketing partners to drive broad impact and ensure that solutions are integrated into cross-functional workflows and executive decision-making
- Represent the team in a range of settings - from reviews with senior Amazon scientists to reviews with senior Audible/Amazon business leaders
