Amazon has confirmed plans to slash 200 jobs on its North America Stores (NAS) team, which will impact jobs in multiple divisions across the U.S.

“We’re always looking at our team structures to ensure we’re best set up to move fast as we innovate for customers,” Amazon said in a statement provided by a spokesperson. “We’ve adjusted parts of our North America Stores team 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 spokesperson told Sourcing Journal Thursday afternoon that the company will cut roles across a number of teams, including but not limited to its Fashion and Fitness group, which focuses on curating and marketing the company’s selection of fashion and athletic products, including apparel, footwear, accessories, fitness equipment and more. A landing page for the Fashion and Fitness group indicates that the team includes account managers, merchandisers and data engineers.

Notably, 23 available jobs are listed under the Fashion and Fitness business in Amazon’s home state of Washington as well as New York and Texas. They include positions in software development, data engineering, supply chain management, sales and business development, brand management, vendor management and product management across categories like shoes, outdoor and luxury.

The shuttering of Amazon’s Try Before You Buy program, announced earlier this month, appears unrelated to the consolidation actions. Launched in 2018, it allows Amazon customers to try out a number of apparel and footwear products at home for seven days before committing to purchase.

Amazon has implemented a number of cost-cutting measures across the different sectors of its business since 2023, and the belt-tightening is driving improvements to the company’s bottom line. Last fall, it laid off hundreds of workers at fulfillment facilities .

In November , CEO Andy Jassy said Amazon had implemented “hundreds” of changes within its fulfillment and delivery network to help improve inventory placement, speed up delivery times, slash transportation costs and increase units shipped per box, driving efficiency and wowing investors.

The company is slated to report its fourth-quarter earnings on Feb. 6.
