"We are proud to be offering a huge range of full-time, part-time, and now seasonal jobs with great pay and benefits," said Alicia Boler Davis, senior vice president for global customer fulfillment at Amazon.

"Joining Amazon in one of our seasonal roles offers high-paying, part-time work, or a path to a full-time position, with benefits like our Career Choiceprogram to help people advance their education and careers within Amazon or beyond."

Amazon values its seasonal employees, many of whom return each holiday season or choose to transition to full-time roles within the company. Seasonal employees are essential to how Amazon delivers for customers, doing rewarding work, while earning income flexibility before the end of the year.

"I never envisioned my seasonal role at Amazon would evolve into the long-term career path I have today," said Arthur Harrison, a senior operations manager at Amazon. "I'm grateful for the opportunity to continue to grow my career at a company providing good jobs to people across our community."
