Amazon Global Selling is on a mission to help businesses of all sizes start local and grow global.

We are seeking a highly motivated, analytically sharp, and AI-native intern to join our Online Marketing team as an Online Marketing AI Specialist.

You will leverage AI capabilities to design and execute channel optimization experiments, surface data-driven insights, and help drive measurable improvements in seller acquisition efficiency and channel performance.

SEO/SEM Performance Optimization: Analyze search channel performance data, identify keyword and bidding opportunities, and deliver actionable insights to improve cost-efficiency and conversion rates across paid and organic search
Experimentation & Testing: Design, execute, and analyze A/B tests and channel experiments using AI-powered methodologies — from hypothesis generation to result interpretation and optimization recommendations
AI-Powered Workflow Automation: Leverage generative AI and automation tools to scale content production, streamline campaign operations, and accelerate insight generation across marketing channels
Cross-functional Collaboration: Partner with product marketing, analytics, and sales teams to align channel strategies with broader go-to-market initiatives and seller growth objectives
