Hiring Programs and Jobs for The Military Spouse Community

Amazon values the skills that Military Spouses bring to the workforce. As proof, military spouses work under every line of business across the company and we’d like to keep it that way! We encourage all military spouses to apply to any role they are qualified for. Amazon currently employs more than 10,000 military spouses across all businesses, including Operations, Sustainability, Alexa, and Amazon Web Services (AWS). Amazon is pledging to hire over 100,000 U.S. veterans and military spouses by 2024, building on its commitment to military families after far exceeding its pledge to hire 25,000 by 2021.

One of the ways that Amazon supports the military spouse community is through Military Spouse Fellowship programs. Military spouse fellowship programs provide military spouses fellowship opportunities in a variety of different roles at Amazon. The goal of these programs is to further expand the growth of military spouses into sustainable, meaningful career fields within Amazon.  Through these 12-week fellowship programs, military spouses will gain and have access to: professional training, networking, military spouse events, and hands-on-job experience.

How do I apply for a Fellowship Opportunity?

Apply for an opportunity listed directly if you meet all basic qualifications and timeline expectations or through the HoH MSF Program.

Am I eligible for Military Spouse Programs if my partner is no longer Active Duty? 

Yes. In the spirit of inclusivity, a military spouse is defined (outside the confines of federal entities) as a current or former partner of a member of the U.S. Armed Forces, including Active Duty, National Guard, Reserves, and Veterans. This includes Spouse Caregivers, Dual Military Spouses, and Gold Star Spouses.

How likely am I to receive a full time offer at the end of my fellowship?

The goal of the fellowship programs is to provide professional, hands on training and extend full time positions if available to fellowship participants, however, business needs change on a daily basis and as such, Amazon cannot make any guarantees for full time employment offers. Fellowship host teams and the Military Spouse Program Manager will work to support fellows throughout the 12 weeks to ensure success.

Why choose Amazon for a fellowship?
