Each member of this nimble team will influence both business and technical strategy.<BR><BR>While primary ownership of the business direction and technical development remains with the individual product teams themselves, the XBA team looks holistically at how these products interact to ensure that they have incremental value when combined, are easy to integrate with, and meet our merchant base?s true needs.<BR><BR>Who are we looking for?<BR>We?re looking for an enthusiastic, self-starting, analyst with a core foundation in deriving meaning from sets of data. We aren?t solely looking for individuals with decades of practical experience, we are looking for people with a strong grasp of statistics and probability, the ability to create and defend methodologies, and an ability to understand and explain the meaning behind the numbers.<BR><BR>As a Business Analyst on the XBA team, what exactly would I do?<BR>As a Business Analyst on the XBA team, you will spend your time defining interesting questions that will inform future business direction, as well as developing and running experiments to answer these questions. You will work with the other members of the XBA team to identify the most pressing analytical needs and then figure out ways to develop defensible answers to those questions.<BR><BR>Part of the job will be setting up experiments which will involve finding appropriate data sources, retrieving and cleaning the data, and analyzing/tracking the output. You will also develop supportable conclusions based on your analysis.<BR><BR>This is a new and exciting space. On this team, you will not only have an opportunity to help define the vision of Amazon?s off-Amazon? selling strategy, it?s expected.<BR><BR>AmazonServices<BR>Basic Qualifications<BR><BR>* B.S. in Economics, Mathematics                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                </font></td>
