Amazon’s Worldwide Communications (WWC) team invites undergraduate professionals to join us for a paid 10-12-week full-time internship in 2021 (virtual or location-based). We’re looking for current sophomore and junior students who possess an interest in writing, communications, and social media. We invite candidates to apply who are curious and excited to learn more about what it’s like to work at Amazon.
Throughout the summer, you will work across our communications organization, learning the ins-and-outs of public relations, refining your writing skills, learning from Amazon leaders, and working with a mentor. You will also offer your own insight into how Amazon should think about communicating, all while applying innovative and global thinking. You will spend time with teams from our social media, Amazon Studios, Corporate, Devices, and/or Retail divisions, attending events (even if virtual), diving into their innovative products and services, and working on their communications approaches. The internship will culminate in a summer-long project that you’ll present to WWC leaders.
Successful candidates will bring diverse perspectives and varied experiences (whether from school, life, or past jobs). We value peculiarity and curiosity (see our Leadership Principles), and hope you’re interested in joining us.
