Weeks after the appointment of a new chief technology and information officer, Nordstrom confirmed that it underwent layoffs in its tech division.
“As we continue to invest in technology as a critical area of our business, we have made the difficult decision to reduce our technology workforce, adjusting the team structure and eliminating certain roles to remain agile and operate more efficiently,” a company spokesperson said in a statement.
Nordstrom declined to respond to questions on how many people were impacted. A number of people in program and product management, engineering, and data science and analytics roles have posted comments on LinkedIn as being laid off from their positions due to Nordstrom’s restructuring.
