“We must execute faster”Faced numerous shake-upsChallenges help test operations

PayPal announced major layoffs this week in a move impacting approximately 9% of its total staff. The payment processor confirmed that around 2,500 employees will lose their jobs in the coming year either through direct cuts or elimination of vacant roles.

“We must execute faster”

PayPal President and CEO Alex Chriss broke the news in a letter to employees, writing, “we must execute faster and ensure we are focused on solving our customers’ most critical needs and problems…2024 marks a year of change, including some difficult but necessary decisions.”

The job cuts come less than a year after PayPal shed 7% of its workforce in early 2022.

Faced numerous shake-ups

The company has undergone executive shake-ups in recent months as well. Chriss himself joined as CEO in September 2022, pledging to “grow revenue outside of purely transaction-related volume.”

Other new appointments include Archie Deskus as Chief Technology Officer and Jamie Miller as Chief Financial Officer.

Challenges help test operations

PayPal faces mounting competition from rivals old and new despite high-profile acquisitions of Venmo, Honey, and Xoom in past years. Challenges remain in going head-to-head with payment processors like Apple, Stripe, and Shopify.

The coming year will test whether leaner operations and refined focus helps PayPal gain ground in the fast-changing financial tech landscape. But a 9% staff reduction signals an uphill battle ahead.
