The positions, which involve invoicing and accounting, are among the company's highest-paid hourly jobs.
Walmart wants those employees interacting with shoppers instead of doing paperwork, according to the Journal.
It's unclear whether all 7,000 employees who are affected by the cuts will remain employed by Walmart.
The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Instead of having workers in each store manage paperwork, those duties will be automated or shifted to the company's home office in Bentonville, Arkansas, according to the Journal's report.
