What’s in it for you?

An internship at Amazon means real responsibility from day one. You’ll build, test, and learn alongside people who want to see you succeed, while making an impact that reaches far beyond campus.

Key job responsibilities

Work backwards from the customer, identifying inputs to grow Amazon's most strategic brands and improve their performance within a retail category.

Support vendor managers in providing a suite of services designed to help brands succeed, collaborating with cross-functional teams including in-stock and marketing.

Develop analytical and problem-solving skills by collecting, analysing, and interpreting data to drive category performance.

A day in the life

Every day is a little different as a Retail Vendor Manager Intern. Working alongside a vendor manager, you'll learn how Amazon handles its e-commerce retail business across product categories - from books to fashion, electronics to grocery, and everything in between. You might spend your morning analysing category performance data and identifying growth opportunities for strategic brands, then spend your afternoon working with marketing or in-stock teams to implement an improvement project that enhances the customer shopping experience.

Amazon is a customer-obsessed business, so no matter which retail category you join, part of your role will involve working backwards from the customer to identify what matters most. You'll gain exposure to Amazon's advertising products and merchant services, learn how we create custom opportunities to delight clients, and partner across functions to deliver results - building your analytical, commercial, and problem-solving skills in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.

Note: You must have the right to work in the country of employment by the start date.
