2027 MBA Leadership Development Program (MLDP) Full-Time

The Amazon 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 program offers full P&L ownership, executive sponsorship, and a mandate to build across Amazon's largest consumer business, rather than just manage existing operations.

About the Role

MLDP is a builder's path that develops commercial judgment, product thinking, and cross-functional influence through progressively complex business ownership. You'll make decisions impacting hundreds of millions of customers, work directly with senior leaders, and help shape how Amazon Stores operates in an AI-first world.

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.
• Product: Define product roadmaps, launch customer-facing experiences, and develop leadership influence 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 includes Enterprise Challenges sponsored by VPs, executive mentorship, cohort-based development, and opportunities to build AI-enabled capabilities. After your first year, you'll receive dedicated rotation support, including career planning, interview preparation, networking, and insights from program alumni.

Responsibilities

MLDP seeks builders—leaders with product-minded curiosity, analytical judgment, learning agility, and a long-term orientation toward creating something better. Ideal candidates thrive in ambiguity, ask the right questions, influence across organizations, and see AI as a strategic advantage.
