This role is the perfect way to embark on your career as a Chartered Manager. You’ll take on diverse responsibilities that develop your ability to make strategic decisions, collaborate effectively, and motivate teams to deliver results. With every challenge you tackle, you’ll refine your skills in communication, management, and the art of inspiring others.

You’ll work towards becoming a professional manager capable of handling complexity and delivering impact at both strategic and operational levels – mastering project management, financial acumen, innovation, and risk management. Most importantly, you’ll forge strong relationships with stakeholders, building your presence as a trusted and influential leader.

What You’ll Do

As a Chartered Management Degree Apprentice, you’ll take on a supervisory role from day one, gaining hands‑on experience leading teams, managing operations, and making decisions that drive results. You’ll combine your academic learning with practical management experience, ensuring you can apply what you study directly in the workplace.

You’ll develop skills in leadership, communication, strategic planning, and business improvement – becoming a confident and capable manager ready to make a positive impact.

During Your Apprenticeship, You’ll Learn How To:

• Lead and supervise teams, overseeing day‑to‑day operations
• Support and develop team members through training, coaching, and mentoring
• Manage projects to achieve defined objectives and timelines
• Analyse business data to inform decisions and drive improvement

• Foster an inclusive, ethical, and high‑performing work environment

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for emerging leaders who are passionate about people, eager to learn, and ready to grow. You don’t need prior management experience – just the potential to lead, collaborate, and take initiative.

You’ll thrive in this role if you:

• Enjoy solving problems and motivating others to achieve shared goals
• Communicate clearly and value diverse perspectives
• Are proactive, organised, and eager to develop yourself and others
• Can balance strategic thinking with hands‑on leadership
• Are adaptable and curious, with a commitment to continuous improvement

Key Job Responsibilities

Leadership and Team Management

• Lead and supervise teams, overseeing day‑to‑day operations
• Support and develop team members through mentoring and coaching
• Foster an inclusive and ethical work environment where everyone can thrive
• Inspire others by modelling positive behaviours and promoting collaboration

Project and Strategic Delivery

• Manage projects to achieve defined objectives and timelines
• Develop and implement strategic initiatives that align with organisational goals
• Oversee resources effectively to ensure operational efficiency and service excellence
• Identify and mitigate risks, ensuring projects are delivered to a high standard

Business Insight and Continuous Improvement

• Analyse business data and market trends to make informed decisions
• Track and report on departmental metrics to support management decisions
• Identify opportunities for innovation and process improvement
• Promote ethical business practices and sustainable performance

A Day in the Life

• Managing and supporting a team to deliver daily performance goals
• Coaching team members and conducting development discussions
• Analysing data to identify trends and inform operational improvements
• Participating in planning meetings to align goals and priorities

• Balancing your studies with real‑world application, dedicating 20% of your time to degree learning
• Applying new management theories to solve everyday operational challenges

About the Team

You’ll work in one of our operational sites – the heart of Amazon’s customer experience – leading and developing teams in a fast‑paced, technology‑driven environment. Our operations include everything from fulfilment centres and delivery stations to corporate support teams. Each site provides unique opportunities to learn, lead, and deliver results. While you’ll be placed within a specific site, you’ll collaborate with leaders across Amazon’s network to share ideas and best practices.

Successful apprentices may progress into management roles across our operations network or other business functions, continuing to grow their leadership and business expertise within Amazon.
