At Amazon, we're on a mission to be Earth's most customer-centric company — and we're looking for the next generation of retail leaders to help us get there. As a Retail Vendor Manager Intern, you'll step into the heart of Amazon's Retail organization and take ownership of real business relationships from day one.

In this role, you'll partner directly with Amazon's Retail Vendors — the brands and suppliers who sell their products wholesale to Amazon — and play an active role in driving their success on the platform. From identifying untapped growth opportunities to building strategic relationships with some of the world's biggest brands, you'll gain hands-on experience that goes far beyond the classroom.

We're looking for self-starters who are passionate about e-commerce, eager to develop their retail acumen, and ready to make a tangible impact — not just on Amazon's business, but on the communities we serve. If you thrive in fast-paced environments, take ownership of your work, and want to shape the future of how iconic brands reach millions of customers, this is the internship for you.

Join Amazon and help define what's next in retail.
