Amazon is looking for ambitious students to join us as an intern. You will work alongside and support managers working in one of our core UK businesses, including Retail, Amazon Vendor Services, Prime Video, Prime Now, and Amazon Fresh.

Interns will be either matched to a project or to a functional role.

Example job functions you might support include:

• Marketing Managers: Develop and execute strategies for growing the size and lifetime value of the customer base, through both acquisition and CRM strategies for targeting and communicating with customers.
