The company is understood to have begun a 30-day consultation period today during which it will seek voluntary redundancies.
An editorial restructure at the company will see subbing and design "for some features and magazine pages" to a bespoke unit at the Press Association.
The restructure will also see the titles running non-Scottish features and news from sister titles the Mirror, Sunday Mirror and the People.
All other remaining staff are expected to remain at Central Quay.
Bruce Waddell, editor in chief, said: "In common with all newspapers, the Daily Record and Sunday Mail are not immune from the current difficult economic conditions and our industry is experiencing unprecedented structural change.
"We have to constantly review and adapt the way we work to harness the opportunities available to us.
"Ultimately, our plan will retain what the Daily Record and Sunday Mail does best – the generation and production of brilliant Scottish news and sports – while safeguarding their future success for generations to come."
Trinity Mirror said in a statement that the proposed changes would "result in the creation of one of the most technologically advanced and operationally efficient digital newsrooms in Europe."
Staff at the Record and the Mail went on strike in April 2009 over plans to cut 70 out of 276 editorial jobs after production for the two newspapers was merged under current editor Bruce Waddell.
The Daily Record is Scotland's second most popular daily newspaper with an average circulation of 312,566 in April. The largest circulation daily is the Scottish Sun which recorded 322,335 for the same month.
The Sunday Mail is the country's most popular weekly title with an average circulation of 366,674.
