Amazon Operations Finance Internship 2027 - Paid 12 Weeks

A paid 12-week summer internship in Amazon's Operations Finance organisation, based in Seattle, Washington or Arlington, Virginia. Interns join a finance team supporting one part of the supply chain, such as Customer Fulfillment, Amazon Logistics or Amazon Air, and own one project end to end. The work is data-intensive: quantifying new business ideas, finding capital investment requirements or cost reduction opportunities, building reporting business partners use, and working with operational leadership and frontline associates on process improvements.

No, and Amazon says so directly in the posting even though the programme name suggests otherwise. The internship is not rotational: you support one team for the whole 12 weeks. What rotates is the two-year Operations Finance Rotation Program that you may be offered for full-time work afterwards, and that one requires a willingness to relocate multiple times across the two years.

Amazon lists the starting pay for the Seattle posting as $80,200 to $99,300 a year, noting that final pay depends on experience, qualifications and location. Since the internship runs 12 weeks, that annualised range works out at roughly $18,500 to $22,900 for the placement itself. Benefits start on day one of employment, including 401(k) matching, an employee assistance programme, mental health support and a medical advice line.

Only if you do not need sponsorship. Amazon states in the eligibility notes that it is unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role, which rules out candidates who would require it now or later. International students already holding work authorisation that does not depend on Amazon sponsoring them should read the requirement carefully and check their own status before applying, because this is the most common reason a strong application stops early.

You must be currently enrolled in a bachelor's degree in finance, economics, industrial engineering, accounting, supply chain management, operations and information systems, business administration and management, mathematics, or a related field. The conferral date is the strict part: graduation has to fall between December 2027 and June 2028. No minimum GPA is published, and preferred qualifications point at Excel, SQL and a strong academic, leadership or extracurricular record.

Seattle, Washington or Arlington, Virginia, and you need the ability to relocate to one of them. Amazon states that remote work options are not available for this role and that all work must be conducted in person, so plan for a summer living in one of those two cities. The posting itself is listed under the Seattle location, which is also where the published pay range applies.

No deadline is published on the posting, which is normal for Amazon university recruiting. Roles are filled on a rolling basis and the requisition closes once the cohort is full, so applying in the autumn is meaningfully better than applying in the new year. Amazon runs two to three standard cohort start dates in May or June 2027, and you select from those later in the process.

Amazon builds its interviews around its Leadership Principles, so expect behavioural questions asking for specific past examples alongside analytical questions about data and financial reasoning. Answer in the situation, task, action, result shape and attach numbers wherever you can. The preferred qualifications tell you which principles matter most here: working through ambiguity, using data and metrics to decide, and influencing across all levels of an organisation.
