AI in this role
A three-year accelerated leadership program designed for MBAs to drive P&L ownership, product strategy, and operations within Amazon Stores.
What if your first role after business school gave you full P&L ownership, executive sponsorship, and a mandate to build, not just manage, across Amazon's largest consumer business? Amazon's MBA Leadership Development Program (MLDP) is a three-year accelerated leadership experience designed to develop the next generation of enterprise leaders within North America Stores.
This isn't a rotational program in the traditional sense. It's a builder's path - one that develops commercial judgment, product thinking, and cross-functional influence through progressively complex business ownership. You'll make decisions that impact hundreds of millions of customers, work directly with senior leaders, and help shape how Amazon Stores operates in an AI-first world.
THE MLDP EXPERIENCE
Amazon Stores is becoming an AI-first organization, and the leaders who will shape its future aren't just operators. They're builders. MLDP is an accelerated leadership pipeline that develops product-minded enterprise leaders who can run businesses while simultaneously reinventing how Amazon serves customers.
Over three years, you'll rotate through strategic leadership roles spanning:
- Business Ownership: Own a category P&L end-to-end - driving vendor strategy, negotiating multi-million-dollar deals, and making pricing, selection, and profitability decisions that directly impact the customer experience.
- Product: Define product roadmaps, launch customer-facing experiences, and develop the leadership influence required to drive outcomes without direct authority.
- Operations: Own buying strategies, optimize supply chain performance, and align cross-functional operations with Amazon's long-term objectives.
MLDP is more than rotations. It's Enterprise Challenges sponsored by VPs, executive mentorship, cohort-based development, and the opportunity to build AI-enabled capabilities and operating mechanisms that create lasting value across Amazon Stores. After your first year, you'll receive dedicated rotation support including career planning, interview preparation, networking, and insights from program alumni.
Key job responsibilities
MLDP seeks builders - leaders with product-minded curiosity, analytical judgment, learning agility, and a long-term orientation toward creating something better. You thrive in ambiguity, ask the right questions, influence across organizations, and see AI as a strategic advantage, not just a productivity tool. You want P&L accountability, founder-level ownership, and a clear path to enterprise leadership at scale.
