Staff Economist, Marketplace Economics

Your mission

You'll be a technical lead for pricing and supply and a core contributor to our marketplace measurement work. Reporting to the Director of Marketplace Economics, you will:

• Own the economics of pricing end to end: estimate travel demand and willingness to pay, build the structural models that turn those estimates into defensible price recommendations for our supply partners, and run the experiments that validate them.
• Work collaboratively with other economists on paid marketing optimization problems across channels and geographies and funnel stages.
• Work on the design of the marketplace itself; commission and incentive structures, inventory coverage, supply liquidity.
• Partner closely with business leads in Marketing, Pricing, and Supply by translating ambiguous commercial questions into reasonable identification strategies that drive meaningful business outcomes.
• Set the technical bar for empirical rigor at GetYourGuide: raise the quality of experiment design across teams, mentor analysts and data scientists.

Your toolkit

• PhD in Economics, or a closely related quantitative discipline with a strong applied focus.
• 5+ years of applied work after your PhD, including 2+ years at a marketplace or platform company.
• Comfort with structural work: discrete choice and demand estimation, equilibrium and counterfactual simulation, and the industrial organization or market design toolkit for reasoning about mechanisms, incentives, and two-sided platform dynamics.
• Expertise in causal inference: experimental design, difference-in-differences, synthetic control, regression discontinuity, double/debiased ML, and Bayesian approaches to media measurement.
• The judgment to choose between these approaches for the problem in front of you, and to say clearly what each one can and cannot support.
• Strong Python and SQL, and comfort working with production-scale data alongside data engineers and scientists.
• A track record of your analysis influencing business decisions.
• Genuine enthusiasm for stakeholder work: excellent written and spoken English, and the judgment to know when a simpler answer is the right one.

Extras that give you an edge

• Pricing, demand estimation, or revenue management experience in a two-sided marketplace.
• Market or mechanism design work in production: matching, ranking, allocation, or incentive systems that real users transacted through.
• Experience working alongside ML and data science teams and shipping methods into production systems.
