We are seeking a skilled and motivated Quantitative Researcher to join our team. The ideal candidate is customer-obsessed, detail-oriented, and passionate about translating complex data into clear, actionable insights. You are comfortable operating with some ambiguity, can deliver independently on well-scoped research programs, and can shape how research is done, not just execute it.
If you've ever wondered how Amazon knows what sellers need before they ask, that's the work our team does. We're looking for a Quantitative Researcher who turns seller behavior data into product decisions that shape the experience for millions of businesses selling on Amazon.
You'll own research end-to-end: designing surveys, running statistical analyses, and translating findings into clear recommendations that product and design teams actually act on. You'll work independently on well-scoped projects while starting to shape how the team approaches quantitative research - improving methods, not just executing them.
Key job responsibilities
- Independently lead quantitative UX research projects end-to-end, including survey design, sampling strategy, statistical analysis, and reporting
- Synthesize survey findings with engagement metrics and behavioral data into compelling narratives and actionable recommendations that drive product improvements
- Improve research patterns, standards, and methods, contributing to how the team approaches quantitative work, not just executing against existing frameworks
- Build scalable mechanisms for communicating insights to stakeholders, leveraging strong writing and data visualization skills
- Influence decision-makers across teams by presenting research findings clearly and persuasively
- Manage complex stakeholder relationships across multiple product and design teams, building alignment when faced with competing priorities
- Own the full study lifecycle: recruiting, instrument design, moderation, analysis, and reporting
- Contribute to the UX research roadmap and help evolve research practices to meet changing business and seller needs
As a successful Quantitative Researcher, you:
- Are driven to understand human behavior, motivations, and attitudes at scale
- Are motivated by seeing your insights directly improve seller and customer experiences
- Enjoy building strong cross-functional relationships and see different perspectives as opportunities for better solutions
- Excel at transforming complex data into compelling stories that drive product decisions
- Think strategically to connect individual research projects to broader product and business goals
A day in the life
Your day typically starts with the data. You might spend the morning reviewing satisfaction data, pulling feedback and insights from a recent study, and drafting a narrative that connects the two. You'll collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and other researchers to make sure research is connected to real decisions. Some days you're deep in statistical modeling; others you're presenting to a senior leader or driving product decisions that improve Seller satisfaction.
The problems you'll work on are real and consequential: what's driving satisfaction and what does the data say we should do about it. You'll have the autonomy to shape how those questions get answered.
