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.

Key job responsibilities

2. Build mechanisms for execution, which result in effective communication. Provide clear, actionable status reporting. Organize mechanisms for teams to communicate, surface status, report it quickly and consistently.

3. Identify and manage risks. Starting with inception, and proceeding to execution. React to them quickly, and come up with the right mitigations. Bring clarity, even if it ruffles feathers. Drive informed escalations when things go off the rails.

4. Identify ways to improve the software. Influence people to do it.
