In a SEC filing this week, monday. com said its restructuring plan reflects the “ongoing transformation of its product, marketing, and go-to-market strategy. ” The move is intended to support a “leaner, more focused operating model” as the company continues to invest in its AI-driven strategy. Zinman noted in his post that the company has shifted to “doing the work with AI and not just managing it,” and is focused on building environments where “people and AI agents [work] together in one workspace. ” In recent months, monday.
com has evolved its products, strategy, and the way it serves its customers, and Zinman contended that “the organization we built for our previous chapter is not the organization that fits the new AI era. ” Monday. com needs to “execute more decisively,” take on new challenges, and quickly respond to market changes, he said. “We have never seen such a significant opportunity in software, driven by such exciting technology,” Zinman noted. He emphasized that the reduction is not to replace people with AI, nor to improve margins; the “vast majority” of savings will be reinvested into talent, products, and AI.
The restructuring will result in a “flatter organization” with fewer management layers and smaller, more autonomous teams, and monday. com also has a new go-to-market model, Zinman explained. Customers expect “deeper implementation support” as they deploy AI, and the company will work more closely with customers, increase its on-site presence, create new roles, and “adapt many existing ones. ” In its SEC filing, the company said it expects to continue hiring in “key strategic areas” throughout 2026. Workers will be expected to work better, “not harder,” Zinman noted.
He pointed to several past examples where work could have been done in a few days, but instead took many months with “multiple meetings and endless friction. ” “This wasn’t people’s fault and everyone was frustrated by this,” he said.
