Amazon Jobs Houston TX

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is obsessed with ensuring the success of our customers. To this end, we want to better understand each type of customer we have and at what point in their Cloud journey they’d benefit from the different types of help AWS can provide.

For whom is temporary credit more helpful than a discount? What are the returns to salesperson effort for a mature vs. a new AWS customer? What other customer features tell us that it’s time to reach out and build a relationship? What recommendations would you make to the customer?

We’re looking for someone with a background in program/policy evaluation. ML skills are a huge plus here, as you’ll be working to find new patterns/clusters in large datasets.
