About the role

Operations is one of the three foundational functions at Amgen with a mission to be consistent and efficient in delivering safe and effective medicines around the world. Operations manufactures and delivers Amgen therapeutics to patients. Made up of five subfunctions—Global Supply Chain, Process Development, Quality, Manufacturing and Engineering—and spread across several sites, Operations’ aspiration is simple: Ensure patients have access to the Amgen products they need. Every patient, every time.

Process Development (PD) is the department within Operations that takes molecules from Research & Development and turns them into products which can be manufactured for therapeutic use. With the support of their hiring manager, the PD intern will complete a technical project in one of the following areas: Drug Substance Technologies, Attribute Sciences, Manufacturing and Clinical Supply, Drug Product Technologies, or Combination Product Operations. The intern will get the chance to be exposed to scientific and/or business processes within Amgen as well as analyze and interpret data into meaningful, business-influencing outcomes, and then communicate this process to their team in a clear and compelling manner.

In conjunction with the project work, interns will have the opportunity for professional development through training sessions, an Executive Speaker Series, lab and facilities tours, one-on-one mentoring, and various networking events. Interns will also be able to interact with peers at Amgen-sponsored social events.
