Expedia Group to Lay Off 58 Corporate Employees in Seattle

Expedia Group is cutting 58 corporate jobs at its Seattle headquarters, according to a WARN Act notice filed with Washington state. The layoffs are expected between November 21 and December 1, 2026.

The affected roles include data scientists, finance managers, senior accountants, senior financial analysts and software development engineers. Several vice presidents are also on the list. Some of the reductions come from "the relocation or contracting out of the employer's operations or the employees' positions," the filing says.

Expedia Group, which owns Expedia, Hotels.com, Vrbo, Orbitz and Travelocity, declined to comment beyond the notice. The company has not said which business lines are affected or where work is moving.

The cuts are small against a company of Expedia's size, but the detail matters. Finance, data science and engineering are the teams behind pricing, partner reporting and platform tools. Hotel Dive notes the move follows other cost-cutting in travel, including a 15% workforce reduction at Mews and restructuring at Marriott.

For operators, there is no direct change to contracts or extranet tools. Still, a shift toward relocated or outsourced work is worth watching. If you rely on Expedia Group partner support or reporting, keep an eye on whether service levels change after the notice period ends.
