In this role, you'll play a pivotal part in aligning business objectives with technology solutions, working alongside seasoned professionals to turn complex information into insight that shapes real decisions.

Our teams work at the intersection of people, process and technology, partnering with customers, business users, suppliers, product owners, software developers, testers and senior leaders. We move fast, fail fast, and fix faster - so you'll be encouraged to bring your ideas, test them, and learn as you go. We foster a culture of continuous learning, knowledge-sharing, and mentorship, ensuring that you have the support and resources to grow and excel in your career.

We welcome individuals from all backgrounds who enjoy problem-solving and critical thinking, as you'll investigate complex business challenges and find innovative solutions to improve them. You'll need a meticulous, detail-oriented approach to your work, and the ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams to communicate your findings to a variety of stakeholders. You'll be a curious person with a passion for staying up to date with the latest tools and best practice in business analysis, as well as a flexible attitude and the ability to perform under pressure while prioritising tasks.

Here at Amazon, it's in our nature to learn and be curious. Within this apprenticeship, you'll have the opportunity to learn by doing, putting newfound knowledge into practice every day. Our first-class coaching, tailored development opportunities, and challenging, rewarding work will empower you to reach new heights. If you're a curious, ambitious learner eager to grow, this is your chance to unlock your full potential and build the future you envision.

You'll gain a vast range of useful experiences and skills while working towards the BSc (Hons) Digital and Technology Solutions (Business Analysis pathway). As a working student, your focus is to complete your studies in your 20% off-the-job time by learning and developing the skills, knowledge, and behaviours to work towards successful graduation. You'll be set objectives and goals by your training provider and manager to support your studies.

You'll build your skills over a 42-month period, starting in September. These skills will help you develop personally and professionally. Your apprenticeship will be made up of classroom/virtual-based training to cover knowledge, on-the-job training at your Amazon base location, online learning, as well as mentoring from our experienced team members.

We value different perspectives and experiences, and we're dedicated to creating an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. Our employee-led affinity groups – including communities for women in tech, LGBTQ+ employees, and underrepresented minorities – foster a culture of inclusion that empowers us to be proud of our differences.
