Tech retailer Dixons Carphone is to cut 800 jobs as it changes the way its stores are managed.
The company, which owns Currys PC World, has already started to consult with the affected staff, as it begins to remove roles from its stores.
Retail managers, assistant managers and team leader roles will be cut at the company, while introducing new sales manager, customer experience and operational excellence manager positions in store.
Some staff will be moved to its virtual ShopLive personal shopping service.
Dixons Carphone chief operating officer Mark Allsop said: "We remain committed to our stores as part of an omnichannel future, where we offer the best of online and stores to our customers.
"As part of this, we want to empower our store leadership teams, create a flatter management structure and make it easy for our customers to shop with us, however they choose.
"This proposal will ensure in-store roles are focused on giving a seamless customer experience and exceptional service across all our customer channels, whether online or in-store.
"Sadly, this proposal means we have now entered into consultation with some of our store colleagues. This was not an easy decision and we'll do everything possible to look after those colleagues we can't find new roles for, financially and otherwise."
The announcement comes almost four months after the company closed all 531 of its standalone Carphone Warehouse stores, making more than 2,900 people redundant.
Earlier on Tuesday, PizzaExpress announced it was going to close 67 of its restaurants, and put itself up for sale -putting up to 1,100 jobs at risk.
It blamed the move on the "significantly more challenging environment" caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
Dixons Carphone is another company in a long list of businesses that has announced job losses over the last few months, amid the coronavirus outbreak.
