On-siteResearch$28.87/hrFull-time

About the Role

Operations is one of the three foundational functions at Amgen, with a mission to consistently and efficiently deliver safe and effective medicines around the world. Operations manufactures and delivers Amgen therapeutics to patients and is made up of five subfunctions: Global Supply Chain, Process Development, Quality, Manufacturing, and Engineering, spread across several sites. Operations' aspiration is to 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 that can be manufactured for therapeutic use. With the support of their hiring manager, the PD intern will complete a lab-based project in one of the following areas: Drug Substance Technologies, Attribute Sciences, Manufacturing and Clinical Supply, Digital Strategy & Capabilities, Drug Product Technologies, or Combination Product Operations. The intern will be responsible for rigorously conducting and documenting experiments, analyzing and interpreting data into meaningful business-influencing outcomes, and communicating results to their team in a clear and compelling manner.

In conjunction with 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.
