PayPal has announced the plan to create 100 new jobs at its Dublin office and is our FDI of the Month for July 2025. 


Founded 25 years ago, American multinational payments company, PayPal, has continued to show consistent growth over the years. Currently, the company has customers in approximately 200 markets. Most recently, the company has announced the intention to create up to 100 jobs at a new AI and Fraud Data Science Centre in Dublin.

Aaron J Webster, Global Chief Risk Officer at PayPal spoke of the announcement on The Leaders Room podcast. He said; “This expansion reflects both our confidence in the local ecosystem and our ambition to build an AI-driven, data-powered future that embeds trust and safety in every transaction. We are proud to deepen our commitment to Ireland and to invest in highly skilled roles that will help shape the future of PayPal globally.”

The announcement is especially welcome after a series of job losses in 2023 and 2024. Webster emphasised the importance of the workforce in Ireland, saying, “As we shape the next generation of digital payments, the talent and innovation coming from Ireland will play a critical role.”
