Summary

PayPal announced a multiyear efficiency plan under new CEO Enrique Lores that will reduce its global workforce by about 20% over the next two to three years, roughly 4,760 jobs out of 23,800. The cuts include dozens of roles in Israel (its Tel Aviv development center of about 200–250 employees) and a stated plan to lay off 164 employees in Ireland (about 12% of PayPal’s Irish workforce). The restructuring aims to simplify global operations and save about $1.5 billion annually; affected Israeli roles are largely data scientists and software engineers working on security, AI and fraud-prevention systems. PayPal said it will provide support to impacted employees as the multiyear plan is implemented.

PayPal Holdings, Inc. cut 4,760 jobs.
