Saks Global triggered another round of layoffs this week, giving pink slips to 90 employees within the luxury retailer’s commercial organization, WWD has learned.
The job cuts included the elimination of the merchandising coordinator position, as Saks Global continues to blend the merchandising systems of Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus into a single, integrated system.
Also eliminated were the digital beauty specialists at Neiman Marcus, who worked with specific beauty brands and sold to customers. Saks Fifth Avenue eliminated its group of digital beauty specialists in 2023. Currently, Saks Global is looking at opportunities for more broader clienteling.
It is believed that the departing group of 90 individuals represents less than 3 percent of the Saks Global corporate popul
