Key job responsibilities
Launch - Amazon’s corporate MBA program for Europe, offers an eight- to ten-week internship, providing you with deep exposure to one of our diverse European business areas. As a Launch Intern, you will partner with key business groups and cross-functional teams to analyse unique business ideas, make data driven decisions, and provide input to drive meaningful change. You will have exposure to senior level management and the opportunity to apply general business and functional skills to support successful development and execution of strategy. Interns will be allocated either a project, where you will act as an in-house consultant on a piece of work with tangible business impact, or a functional role, where you will experience the day-to-day life of a full-time Launch MBA at Amazon.
Should you be successful in your internship, you will be considered for a place on our full-time launch program. Launch recruits top MBA international talent and builds broad, adaptable Amazonians across corporate businesses in Europe. The program provides a platform for MBAs to make the successful transition from their pre-MBA experience to Amazon. We run a three-year program offering two job rotations supported through on-boarding activities, core training modules, networking opportunities, and mentorship. Launch MBAs start by diving deep to understand customers and how the business is meeting their needs, then apply the learning from their MBA and their own creativity, to identify the opportunities where they can make the biggest difference. At the end of the three-year program, MBAs have integrated into Amazon’s peculiar ways and have acquired a diverse set of experience that enable them to take ownership of their next career move through Amazon’s extensive internal job opportunities. Through the rotation process, MBAs are able to move to a new function, business, and/or European location.
