Amazon retail division hit by job cuts

The e-commerce giant is changing the structure of its stores business, impacting hundreds of employees.

Marking more cuts at the e-commerce company, Amazon is adjusting its stores business structure, impacting hundreds of employees.

“We’re always looking at our team structures to ensure we’re best set up to move fast as we innovate for customers,” an Amazon spokesperson said in a statement to Retail Dive Thursday. “We’ve adjusted parts of our Stores business because we believe this structure will better enable us to deliver on our priorities. As part of these changes, we’ve made the difficult decision to eliminate a small number of roles, and we’re committed to supporting affected employees through their transition.”

The e-commerce giant declined to comment on the specific types of roles affected. The company’s stores business encompasses its retail efforts, including Amazon.com, Whole Foods and more.

The move follows sweeping layoffs that were announced in 2025. Amazon in October of last year announced it would reduce its corporate workforce by about 14,000 roles.

While Amazon’s Q2 online store net sales increased 15% year over year to about $70.4 billion, the company has increasingly focused on other areas of the business, such as Amazon Web Services. The AWS division’s Q2 net sales jumped 37% to just over $42 billion, per a July release, and the company’s public communications about Prime Day results have become more elusive.
