About the role

Operations roles at Amazon put you at the center of how things move from a click to a doorstep. You'll help design, improve, and run systems that connect people, products, and places, at scale.

As a Loss Prevention Intern, you will lead the effort to efficiently and effectively provide security services and asset protection (including people, buildings, equipment, data, and intellectual property) in a designated fulfillment center (FC). You will report to the Loss Prevention Manager and assist in a project benefiting the team, while collaborating with cross-functional teams such as Human Resources, Finance, Corporate Audit, Security Services, and Inventory Control Quality Assurance.
