DESCRIPTION

If you are eager to be involved in continuing to define the future of online retail, and are an organized self-starter, apply to join our team in Amazon Operations as a Fulfillment Area Manager Intern! Amazon provides training and development for Fulfillment Area Manager Interns to become exceptional people leaders.

Amazon is looking for bright leaders to lead large teams of Amazon Associates across our cutting-edge fulfillment network! This is not a corporate, office-based position. This is a ten-week internship (40 hours per week) during the summer of 2024 located within one of our Amazon fulfillment centers, sort centers, delivery stations or other operations buildings within the Amazon Fulfillment Network. Amazon provides extensive training and development for entry level managers to become exceptional people leaders.

Being an Area Manager Intern means being on the front lines of our customer promise, ensuring your team delivers customers’ orders on time, by leading a large team of Amazon Associates in one of our fulfillment locations. You will have an opportunity to invest in others and develop a collaborative leadership style, while utilizing the tools, processes, and operations that have helped create the most customer-centric company on Earth.

What is fulfillment you ask? Fulfillment is how we refer to completing or fulfilling a customer’s Amazon.com order and the acts of picking, packing, shipping and delivering their order to meet or exceed their expectations! Our Operation’s workflow can be broken to three major lanes: first mile - where the product is housed and ready for your order; second mile - where your order is hauled to your area; and last mile - when the product is delivered to your door. Please note that all lanes have slight building variations, but one thing is constant, our vision and dedication to the customer. As a reminder, our fulfillment centers are fast paced environments where standing, walking, and having on-the-production floor conversations are common as a visible supply chain leader!

Program Quick Facts and Location:

• This position is not a corporate role or in an office setting. This position is interactive, on-the-floor with your team and will be located in a fulfillment center, sort center, delivery station, or other building within the Amazon Fulfillment Network.

This means you will be placed at an operations building within the Amazon Fulfillment Network that most aligns with your location preferences and the current location availability after you interview.
