Walmart to Eliminate or Relocate 1,000 Tech, Product Roles

Walmart Inc. is cutting or relocating about 1,000 corporate jobs in what the big-box retailer says is a consolidation of its technology and artificial-intelligence efforts.

“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,” Suresh Kumar, Walmart’s global chief technology and development officer, and Daniel Danker, the company’s executive vice president of artificial intelligence acceleration, product and design, wrote in a memo Tuesday.
