Account Manager Internship
The Account Manager internship provides commercial exposure to areas that can include Retail, Amazon Vendor Services, Merchant Services, Advertising, Prime Video and other Amazon businesses. In a retail-focused placement, the intern may work with category and customer information to understand buying behaviour, product selection, pricing and availability. The work can also involve supporting vendor relationships and helping teams identify practical ways to improve the customer experience.
This stream suits a candidate interested in e-commerce, commercial analysis and account development. The intern is expected to work with data and business information, communicate findings clearly and contribute to a project that has a measurable connection to the team. Because Amazon operates across many product categories and services, the placement can also provide insight into how commercial teams balance customer needs, vendor relationships and business performance.
Program and Product Management Internship
The Program/Product Manager internship is aimed at candidates who want to understand how Amazon manages business processes, projects and product-related initiatives. Interns can work with teams such as Business Intelligence, Retail or Seller Services and use analytical thinking to understand a problem, organise information and support improvements. The role is relevant to graduates who enjoy combining data, business judgement and coordination rather than working in only one narrowly defined technical area.
A program or product project may require the intern to define a problem, gather information from stakeholders, review performance indicators and help turn findings into an action plan. The placement gives the candidate a chance to see how large-scale business decisions are supported by structured analysis and how different functions work together to deliver changes for customers and sellers.
Financial Analyst Internship
The Financial Analyst internship can provide exposure to teams such as Financial Planning and Analysis, Finance and Controlling, Operations Finance, Transportation Finance or Infrastructure Finance. The work is built around using financial and operational information to understand cost, efficiency and business performance. Interns may support reporting and forecasting, review trends, contribute to KPI dashboards and help improve the accuracy or automation of finance tools and processes.
This route is particularly relevant to candidates who want practical experience connecting finance with operational decision-making. Instead of treating finance as a standalone reporting function, the internship shows how financial analysis can be used to explain performance, identify a cost or efficiency issue and support decisions made by business teams.
Who Can Apply
Amazon lists the internships for candidates who are currently completing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree and expect to graduate in the first quarter of 2027, as well as recent 2026 graduates who completed their studies within the previous six months.
