Commercetools, a headless commerce platform valued at $1.9 billion, has laid off dozens of employees, including a round affecting around 10% of its staff on February 26, 2025, after failing to meet aggressive sales growth targets. The layoffs, part of a broader restructuring in marketing, sales, and internal operations, follow executive changes and reflect challenges in the e-commerce industry post-pandemic. While the company disputes figures beyond the recent cuts, sources suggest reductions over several weeks may total up to 20% of staff, with Commercetools maintaining 25-30 open roles amid the adjustments.
