Internal Auditor, Operations Audit

We are seeking an Internal Auditor to join the Worldwide Amazon Stores Internal Audit team. Stores is one of the largest areas of Amazon’s business and continues to grow rapidly, spanning fulfillment centers, supply chain, logistics, transportation, and physical stores. This is a high-visibility opportunity where you will gain broad exposure across the business, contribute to audits that matter, and help drive meaningful improvements. Our team is cross-functional, and you will work on a wide range of operational and technical audits. You should be comfortable working independently on assigned audit work while also being a strong teammate.

In this role, you will execute audit procedures and testing based on defined audit scope and objectives. You will dig into the details of processes and controls, build an understanding of complex operational and technical environments, and help identify control gaps and process improvement opportunities related to operations, regulatory compliance, organization, policy, and technology. You will work closely with Audit Managers and senior auditors, and interact with engineers and business leaders to gather information, test controls, and document results clearly and accurately. You will manage your own deliverables across multiple audits at the same time.

We are not looking for someone who only documents issues. You should be able to clearly explain what you observe, why it matters, and how it impacts the business. You will contribute to well-written findings and reporting, support the prioritisation of issues in line with business objectives and regulatory expectations, and over time build confidence working with stakeholders to align on practical solutions and help verify that issues are addressed appropriately.
