Power that runs the world | Discover careers in Operations
Operations roles at Amazon put you at the center of how things move from a click to a doorstep. You'll help design, improve, and run systems that connect people, products, and places, at scale. You'll take ownership early, work closely with teams to solve real-world challenges, and see the direct results of your decisions as they reach customers every day.

Here, the impact of what you build isn't abstract, it's visible, immediate, and meaningful - keeping one of the world's most complex operations moving forward. This is where your journey takes shape through action, responsibility, and the opportunity to grow in many directions.
This is not a corporate, remote or office-based position.

This is a ten-week internship (40 hours per week) during the summer of 2027 located within one of Amazon's fulfillment centers, sort centers, delivery stations or other operations buildings. Amazon is seeking customer focused individuals eager to develop a collaborative leadership style with a team of hourly employees across our Operations network. Our warehouses are fast-paced supply chain environments where standing, walking, and having on-the-production floor conversations are common.

As an Area Manager Intern, you will have the opportunity to learn how to coach, motivate and mentor a team of Amazon associates in a warehouse environment. Amazon provides extensive training and development to become an exceptional people leader. Your main focus will be learning to manage a team as well as developing a summer project in partnership with your site leadership.

Start of Shift: Set the Tone
Shadow a current Area Manager and begin to:

Walk the floor regularly to stay connected to your team, spot issues early, and keep things running smoothly.
Drive results across safety, quality, and productivity - balancing all three in real time.
Adjust staffing and resources as volume and priorities shift throughout the day.
Coach and develop your team members, respond to challenges as they come up, and partner with support teams to remove roadblocks.
Keep peers and leadership informed on how the shift is tracking and flag risks before they become problems.
Develop your internship project.
End of Shift: Close Strong
Do a final walkthrough to make sure your area is clean, organized, and set up for the next team's success.
Review your shift's performance data and capture what went well and what to improve
Hand off to the incoming manager with a clear picture of priorities, open items, and next steps.

Every shift, you'll see the direct results of your leadership: from the energy of your team to the packages that reach customers' doorsteps

This is where your decisions have real, visible impact.
