About

Glossier, a direct-to-consumer beauty brand, laid off approximately two dozen employees this week as part of an ongoing internal restructuring. This follows a previous round of layoffs earlier in the year that primarily affected tech staff. The company, which employs around 1,000 people globally, is pivoting its strategy to focus more on retail and wholesale distribution, including a new partnership with Sephora set to launch in early 2023. Under CEO Kyle Leahy, who took over in June, Glossier is reorganizing to support an omnichannel approach, shifting from its earlier DTC-exclusive model. While reducing roles in some areas, the company is simultaneously hiring for over a dozen new positions in retail, product, supply chain, and wholesale to align with this refined direction.
