Communications Assistant Summer Intern – Summer 2027

Description

"There’s a universe of opportunity at Amazon.

At Amazon, your career doesn’t follow a straight line. It accelerates, twists, and challenges you in ways you never expected. From the moment you join, you’re part of something big: building products or services that reach millions and shaping how people live, work, and connect every day. This is where your ideas turn into real impact. You’ll work with world class tools, global platforms, and systems built to operate at an extraordinary scale. You’ll move fast, experiment and launch solutions that matter. With endless opportunities to explore across teams and roles, you’ll learn quickly, apply what you know and discover skills you didn’t know existed. This is an environment designed for builders who want to see the impact of their work in the world. Ready to start your adventure?

What’s in it for you?
An internship at Amazon means real responsibility from day one. You’ll build, test, and learn alongside people who want to see you succeed, while making an impact that reaches far beyond campus.

Amazon’s Communications & Corporate Responsibility (CCR) organization invites undergraduate students in their junior year to join us for a rewarding, paid 12-week summer internship. This is the opportunity you’re looking for if you have a passion for learning about corporate communications (public relations, messaging strategy, social media, employee communications, and much more); a desire to explore and learn what it takes to deliver communications at a global scale; and thorough attention to detail. We’re looking for candidates who want to share their diverse perspectives and experiences (whether from life, school, or prior work) to help us deliver high-quality communications on behalf of Amazon.

During your summer internship, your responsibilities may include working with media/journalists, analyzing news coverage, writing company communications, developing content for Amazon news channels (e.g., aboutamazon.com) and social media channels (e.g., @insideamazon), drafting communication strategy, or supporting company events. Your internship will include one or more communication projects that you get to own and then recap your learnings and recommendations for CCR leaders. Along the way, you’ll build valuable relationships with fellow interns, tenured communications professionals, and leaders from across the CCR organization.

CCR is comprised of hundreds of communications professionals around the globe. We are responsible for informing customers, employees, media, and policymakers about Amazon’s unique culture of innovation and customer centricity. CCR aims to continuously strengthen Amazon’s reputation and trust with customers by educating the world about Amazon’s products and services, and how we support employees, small businesses, partners, content creators, developers, communities, environment, and economies where we operate.
