What’s in it for you?

A day in the life

Every day is a little different as a Retail Vendor Manager Working Student. 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.

Extra perks for Amazonians such as: exclusive Amazon.de discount; Deutschlandticket (Transportation Ticket); bike rental; gym membership discount; Beta testing on new Amazon products; and free mental health, legal, and financial support for you and your family.

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