At Amazon, we’re working to be the most customer‑centric company on earth. To get there, we need exceptionally talented, bright, and driven people. Amazon is seeking Area Manager Interns for one of the most recognizable brand names in the world and we distribute millions of products each year to our loyal customers.

In this role you will be responsible for driving up the sortation & line haul infrastructure in the region, which includes identifying the new routes.

Key Job Responsibilities

• Review the transportation process from Fulfilment Centres to delivery stations.
• Measure and ensure sufficient bandwidth in the sortation team to support peak‑time delivery management.
• Assist and work alongside Area Managers to review performance appraisals of station supervisors and learn how to mentor them for efficient operations.
• Continuously improve throughput and achieve sustained delivery performance improvement.
• Review and assist on analysis of data reports to identify performance bottlenecks and improve performance.
• Research and review formal process‑control and process‑improvement mechanisms such as Kaizen.

The Internship Program

We want you to feel welcomed, included and valued right from the start. We know that your experiences will help us build a better world. If you are insatiably curious and always want to learn more, then you’ve come to the right place. You can expect to:

• Define your goals, exceed them, and set new ones.
• Think ahead and put long‑term value over short‑term wins. We believe in investing in your future.
• Be the best version of yourself – continuously evolve and improve.
• Become excellent at making fast decisions, taking calculated risks, and fearlessly chasing excellence.
• Make the impossible possible.

As an intern you can also expect:

• Competitive pay.
• Impactful project and internship/role deliverables.
• Networking opportunities with fellow interns and other Amazonians.
• Internship events such as speaker series, intern panels, Leadership Principles sessions, and Amazon writing‑skills sessions.
• Mentorship and career development.

If you’re successful during your internship, you could be considered for a graduate role after finishing your university studies.

Please note: To be eligible for this program you must be available for the full internship period for 3 months from Dec 2026 – Feb 2027.

Locations

You could be placed at any site across Victoria, New South Wales, Western Australia, or Queensland. We expect candidates to be open to relocation. A relocation stipend will be provided outside of the internship stipend.

About the Team

As an Area Manager Intern, you are part of something bigger and amazing. This isn’t a corporate role; you will be based in the heart of the action at one of our Fulfilment Centres, working with other Area Managers, support staff, and learning everything you need to know about how Amazon Operations works. You will be provided with a mentor who will support you and guide your work, along with a strong intern support network.

• Currently in your penultimate year of study in Supply Chain/Logistics, Engineering, Business Management, Industrial Technology, Economics, Industrial Design, Actuarial Science, Business Information Systems, Commerce, undergraduate or postgraduate graduating in 2027.
• Motivated to learn process improvement.
• Ability to work under pressure situations.
• Ability to work in ambiguous situations and to produce solutions as required.
