06:42 AM EDT, 07/17/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Walmart ( WMT ) is eliminating hundreds of store-support and training positions as part of an effort to simplify its structure, media outlets reported Thursday, citing an internal company memo.

The retail giant will remove the market coordinator role, which supports market managers with data compilation and analysis, Bloomberg and Reuters reported.

Changes are also planned at Walmart Academies, the company's training centers for store workers and managers, with some coach and coordinator roles being phased out as the company shifts its focus to higher-volume locations, the reports said.

According to the memo, Walmart ( WMT ) plans to offer affected employees alternative roles, including newly created positions in places where there are no open roles.

Walmart ( WMT ) did not immediately respond to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
