PROGRAM OVERVIEW: Pathways is Amazon's three-year Operations Leadership Development Program, designed to cultivate the next generation of senior operations leadership. Full-time participants gain high visibility with senior executives while tackling challenging assignments across diverse sites, technologies, and geographies - collaborating with cross-functional teams, taking on progressively greater responsibilities, and building a network of peers who become their professional community throughout their career at Amazon.
THE INTERNSHIP: As a Pathways intern, you'll spend 12 weeks embedded in one of Amazon's fulfillment, sortation, or delivery centers. You'll split your time between hands-on operations exposure - shadowing managers, leading gemba walks, and participating in business reviews - and owning a strategic project that you'll develop into a white paper and present to senior site leadership. This is your opportunity to experience Amazon's operations firsthand and demonstrate your leadership potential. Successful interns may be considered for a return offer into the full-time Pathways program.
