Amazon has made further redundancies within its Selling Partner Services organisation, continuing a series of workforce reductions that have spanned multiple divisions.
According to Business Insider, a company spokesperson described the latest cuts as affecting a “small number” of staff, without disclosing a precise figure.

The Selling Partner Services group supports third-party merchants on Amazon’s marketplace, encompassing onboarding, logistics, and account management functions.
The reductions follow two waves of job losses totalling approximately 30,000 roles, announced in October 2025 and January 2026, alongside a separate round of cuts to the robotics division in March.
The division, which develops automated systems deployed primarily across Amazon’s warehouse network, was among several affected as part of a wider cost-reduction effort.
Amazon has eliminated more than 57,000 corporate positions since late 2022, including 16,000 roles removed in January 2026.
According to the report, the cuts are consistent with a broader efficiency programme led by chief executive Andy Jassy, who has prioritised cost discipline over the past two years following what the company previously attributed to pandemic-era over-hiring.
Amazon has simultaneously stepped up investment in AI across retail, customer service, advertising, and logistics.
Jassy has indicated that AI-driven automation is expected to improve operational efficiency and has previously acknowledged it could act to “reduce” the company’s overall headcount, the report added.
Retail Insight Network has contacted Amazon for comment.
Amazon is not alone in trimming its workforce. Last month, Nike removed approximately 1,400 positions across its global operations as the sportswear company looks to streamline its business during a prolonged period of subdued sales.
The reductions, representing just under 2% of its total workforce, are concentrated in technology functions across North America, Asia, and Europe.
In the same month, UK grocer Morrisons placed several head office roles at risk of redundancy as part of a restructuring effort centred on AI, data, and automation.
