Amazon Operational Strategy & People Analytics Externship
Imagine shaping how AMAZON — yes, THE Amazon — welcomes and keeps its workforce. Every year, Amazon loses billions because new hires leave before Day 90. You’re going to fix that. In this externship, you’ll web scrape real-world employee reviews from across the web, extract actionable insights, and design persona-driven strategies to help Learning Ambassadors connect smarter, faster, and more humanely. It’s part research, part strategy—and all about learning how people data drives big decisions.

The work combined web-scraped employee reviews with people-analytics methods to surface patterns in early turnover and onboarding experience.

What I've accomplished
I produced a structured role-by-role map in a spreadsheet that documented key fulfillment center roles, responsibilities, close collaborators, common tools, and notes, linking each role's duties to observed operational impacts.
