Amazon is cutting some jobs at its Fresh grocery stores, CNBC has confirmed.
The company said it's restructuring the in-store staffing and operations model at its Amazon Fresh stores in the U.S., and as a result is eliminating its "zone lead" role.
Amazon has been determined to crack the grocery segment since the launch of its Fresh delivery service in 2007.
Earlier this year, Amazon said it would close some Fresh and Go stores as part of CEO Andy Jassy's effort to rein in costs.
The job cuts at Amazon Fresh come after the company initiated its most expansive layoffs in its history, eliminating roughly 27,000 employees since late last year.
