It’s an exciting time to join Microsoft! The Office of the Chief Economist works across the company to pursue commercial value using economic and data-driven thinking. Some examples of our work include algorithms that grow Microsoft’s cloud revenue as well as its resource efficiency, some of the first-ever studies of how AI changes the way that people work, and business model analytics for our software licensing models. 

We are looking for a Data Scientist with broad technical skills, business acumen, and an entrepreneurial spirit. You will work alongside world-class colleagues on high-visibility projects answering some of Microsoft’s most pressing challenges. You will work directly with business partners to identify business opportunities, you will discover enormous new datasets for analysis, and you will sleuth the data and its business implications. You will use statistics and machine learning to deliver statistically sound causal insights to business leaders. 

Successful candidates can dive deep into sophisticated modeling approaches when needed; but more importantly, they know when a simple and pragmatic solution will do just as well. They know how to tell good stories through data, how to visualize, and how to use many fast iterations in the face of ambiguous problems. Great candidates thrive in an environment that promotes learning through diverse projects. 

Our team values collaboration, craftsmanship, and continuous learning. You will be able to shape and grow a positive and productive data engineering culture.  Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. We value a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
