Pathways Operations Manager Intern - Summer 2027 - Now Hiring

Description

Join Amazon's Pathways Operations internship and tackle real-world operational challenges at one of our dynamic facilities. Over 12 weeks, you'll be embedded within a state-of-the-art Fulfillment Center, Sort Center, Delivery Station, or Amazon Air site, leading impactful projects that drive immediate improvements while developing hands-on problem-solving skills alongside senior leadership. Your days will involve collaborating with operations teams to identify process improvements, analyze workflows, and implement solutions that enhance efficiency. You'll participate in cross-functional meetings, gather data to support your projects, and present findings to leadership. Beyond your core project work, you'll have opportunities to shadow different departments, learn how various teams interconnect, and understand how your contributions fit into Amazon's broader operations network.

  • This program is open to external candidates only; current Amazon employees are not eligible to apply. The role appears on Amazon's internal portal solely for employee referral purposes.
  • Candidates should be currently enrolled in an MBA or Master's program, and be able to commit to a 12-week summer 2027 internship.
  • This role is for Pathways internship positions at Amazon operations facilities across the United States. Successful candidates will work with their recruiter to be matched to a site prior to receiving an offer.
  • Candidates who apply to multiple Amazon MBA internship roles will only be selected to interview for one.

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.
