“The intention is to rebase our costs to help fund the upcoming transformative change which aims to leave the Post Office on a more sustainable financial footing.
Senior managers were told that they would be affected on Wednesday, after acting chief executive Neil Brocklehurst sent a note sent to all staff, seen by the PA news agency.
He wrote: “The intention behind these proposed changes remains to create a more efficient team that can effectively deliver a sustainable future for the network, for postmasters and their communities.
The cuts mark the latest part of an overhaul set out by chairman Nigel Railton in November, when he said he would boost subpostmaster pay by £250 million over five years.
The Post Office is to cut about 100 jobs as part of plans to boost payouts to thousands of its subpostmasters.
