Internship Overview

AWS is looking to hire and develop the next generation of leaders for our organization. We are seeking talented and enthusiastic students who are passionate about solving business problems, innovating and building new processes, and leading high-impact initiatives. The Next Gen Internship Program allows you to gain exposure to the AWS business and our unique Amazonian culture through a rewarding learning experience. 

As an intern, you will independently own a key business project that can drive business value, and tasks to support your assigned team. You will hone your leadership and presentation skills, and apply your creativity to innovate for our business. At the end of your internship, all interns will present their project learnings and proposal to a panel of AWS leaders.

Business Development 

As a Next Gen Business Development Intern, you will bring passion for digital transformation, cloud computing services and the opportunity to shape industry-specific messaging, solutions and assets for the ANZ market segment. You will develop business acumen, presentation delivery, and learn more about Amazon culture through working on a real business project. Are you ready to embrace the challenge?

Upon successful completion of the internship program, select interns will receive a full-time offer to join as a Next Gen Graduate after completion of their Degree.

Amazon internships are full-time (38 hours/week) for 10-12 consecutive weeks, from late November 2022-mid February 2023. 

Mentorship & Career Growth

Our team is dedicated to supporting new members. We have a broad mix of experience levels and tenures, and we’re building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship.
