Walmart (WMT) is cutting or moving more than 1,000 corporate jobs as it reshapes its global technology and product teams. The changes, outlined in an internal memo from Global Chief Technology Officer Suresh Kumar, are meant to make teams work more smoothly, cut duplicate roles, and align staff more closely with Walmart’s priorities in AI, e‑commerce, and other digital projects.
“We’ve made changes to simplify how the work is organized, make ownership clearer, and better align roles to the work and skills we need going forward,” executives wrote. The shake‑up mainly targets overlapping roles across global technology, AI product work, e‑commerce, and advertising, and follows a similar restructuring last year that affected about 1,500 positions.
