Transportation Management Intern, AWS Cloud Logistics

View transcript

Description

Internship period: January to June 2027

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.

You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

AWS Cloud Logistics (ACL) is looking for a motivated Transportation Management Intern to join our team in Singapore. In this role, you will manage daily shipment allocation decisions based on cost and business need and will be the driver of a transportation research project.

Key job responsibilities

• Shipment Booking & Mode Selection (Daily Operations): Own day-to-day shipment booking decisions, selecting the mode of transport and service level that best fit each shipment's business need. Weigh cost against speed, reliability, and delivery requirements to make sound trade-off decisions, and build the judgment to route shipments efficiently under real operational constraints.

• Transportation Infrastructure Research (Strategic Project): Drive a transportation infrastructure research project that maps current capabilities, constraints, and opportunities across the network. Produce analysis and recommendations that leadership can use to influence future supply chain decisions. This project-based deliverable offers clear scope and measurable outcomes, making it an ideal, high-visibility contribution for an intern.

• Cost & Service-Level Optimization: Analyze the cost and service-level trade-offs behind transport decisions, identifying patterns and opportunities to improve how mode and service level are chosen. Translate these findings into practical guidance that keeps daily booking decisions aligned with business priorities.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration & Stakeholder Input: Gather input from stakeholders across all levels of the organization to ensure booking decisions and research recommendations reflect how the business actually operates. Build feedback loops and review mechanisms so insights stay accurate and useful well beyond your tenure.

A day in the life

No two days look the same, but every day has a rhythm. Your morning might start by working through the day's shipment bookings - reviewing what needs to move, weighing cost against delivery requirements, and deciding the right mode of transport and service level for each one. You then jump into a call with internal stakeholders to align on where your transportation infrastructure research is heading and what decisions it needs to inform. That is followed by a session with an external carrier or logistics partner to understand how the network actually runs on the ground - where the capacity is, where the constraints are, and what it really costs to move freight.

After lunch you meet with your assigned mentor, who helps you connect the dots between your daily booking decisions, your research project, and the bigger picture of AWS's cloud computing infrastructure and global supply chain. The afternoon is heads-down time on your research project - maybe pulling shipment and cost data, mapping lanes and modes, or drafting the analysis that will shape how the team makes transport decisions in the future.

Between project sprints, you are meeting with teams across different functions and geographies to learn how our end-to-end supply chain operates and how AWS services underpin it. You also have a regular check-in with your manager to review progress, remove blockers, and discuss your development goals. Most days end knowing you have contributed to something the team will use long after your internship ends - a smarter way to move freight, and a clearer view of the infrastructure behind it - and that you understand a little more about how the cloud gets built.
