Intern Manager Jobs in Seattle, WA (NOW HIRING)

The Manager III, Program Management leads Amazon's global Evaluations & Offboarding (E&O) team, overseeing intern evaluation lifecycle operations, offboarding execution, and intern conversion architecture-partnering with Recruiting to optimize AUTA's conversion pipeline-for 14,000+ global interns annually across AMER, EMEA, LATAM, and APJC.
