The reductions continue a multi-year contraction that brought headcount from 4,318 at the end of 2022 to 1,980 by March 2026, with Nigeria the most affected market. Management said it was applying AI across logistics, customer service, finance, technology, cybersecurity, code-quality workflows and seller management, stating it was 'actively working to further reduce headcount, continue process automation, and leverage AI tools.' The Lagos-based firm reported first-quarter 2026 revenue up 39% to $50.6 million, a 32% narrowing of its EBITDA loss, and a cash position of $62.6 million. Restructuring drove higher general and administrative expenses, including one-off termination benefits. https://layoffcheck.com/companies/jumia#2022-11 https://layoffcheck.com/companies/jumia#2022-11-2723 Mon, 21 Nov 2022 12:00:00 GMT Jumia reported a workforce reduction in Lagos in November 21, 2022.
