The move comes as part of a cull of around 1,700 jobs around the world and follows a drop in demand for mobile phones.
Where possible, Nokia will consult employee representatives about the proposals, it said.
In a statement, the Finnish company commented: "Nokia plans to scale sales, marketing and technology management to match the pruned portfolio and global consumer demand."
Nokia is the biggest manufacturer of mobile phones in the world by market share and also a big player in the converging internet and communications industries.
It has also been reported that Nokia plans to include free calls over the internet as part of its new N97 model.
The phone will feature software provided by communications firm Skype.
