What to expect:

This will be a unique, project-based opportunity where you can develop a variety of competences: by taking part, you’ll apply real-world rocket fuel to your career. In total, you’ll spend between 10-12 weeks in one of Amazon’s industry-leading European Fulfillment Centers. It’s in this context that you’ll put your developing leadership and analytical skills to the test.

LEADERSHIP: First and foremost, you will observe and learn dynamic leadership, and why this makes all the difference in our global business at Amazon. This will help you in aiding various aspects of project execution, by working closely with members of senior management.

TEAM WORK: Further to this, you’ll also collaborate with front line associates; these experiences will equip you with a deeper working knowledge of how we keep our world-class operations running smoothly. Just as importantly, you’ll see, firsthand, how we continuously adapt and refine our processes and workflows.

STRATEGY: In terms of deliverables, your major project will include designing a new process or strategy, based on the insights you glean from highly detailed data on operations performance. It’ll be up to you to proactively test your work as you go along. This will include thinking about the scalability of your recommendations, and how your ideas can be effectively applied across our larger network. To succeed, you’ll collaborate with any and all of the following teams: technology development, data warehouse experts, project-focused area managers, and plenty more besides.

Your 10-12 week internship will culminate in a presentation to management of any new innovative solutions and recommendations that you have based on your observations and analytical research.
