Following its first-ever retailer partnership with Sephora, Glossier has announced that it will be restructuring internally as it pivots the business to focus on retail and wholesale—which includes laying off more employees.
According to an anonymous source at Modern Retail, Glossier laid off about two dozen employees on Tuesday. These layoffs come after the beauty brand laid off over 80 employees, or about one third of its corporate workforce, in January.
The company confirmed the news of the layoffs, but declined to share which departments have been affected.
As part of this internal restructuring, the company is currently hiring for over a dozen new positions that focus on retail, product, supply chain and wholesale distribution, including a vice president of wholesale. The company is also preparing for more retail openings, with new locations due in Brooklyn, N.Y. and Philadelphia this fall.
In a statement about the restructuring, CEO Kyle Leahy said, “While these decisions are incredibly difficult, I am confident Glossier is positioned for success in its next chapter. We are immensely grateful to all of our former and current team members for their many contributions to Glossier; they are all part of Glossier’s story and will forever be part of our community.”
