Finder has cut 54 jobs in a fresh round of global redundancies, as layoffs resume at the comparison platform.
The latest job cuts follow four redundancy rounds between 2023 and 2024 that significantly reduced the company’s headcount, and mark a return to layoffs after a quieter period through 2025.
Sources familiar with the matter stated the cuts were not limited to Australia, with roles affected across multiple regions and teams. It is not yet clear how many of the affected roles are based locally.
A spokesperson for Finder confirmed to SmartCompany on Wednesday that the business is being restructured.
Of the 54 roles affected, 27 are full-time roles and 27 are contract roles, the spokesperson confirmed. The alter brings Finder’s global workforce to around 200 people.
“AI is fundamentally altering the landscape, and we are choosing to transform our structure now to stay ahead of that shift,” the spokesperson stated.
“Any staff reduction is a difficult decision, particularly given the dedication of our team, and we are providing comprehensive support to all departing employees.”

Multiple rounds and leadership alters
Finder has undergone several restructures over the past few years. At its peak in 2021, the company employed more than 500 staff globally.
As previously reported by SmartCompany, the company built multiple rounds of redundancies affecting roughly 175 roles between 2023 and 2024. In February 2024 alone, around 60 employees, or 17% of the global workforce at the time, were built redundant.
That round included roles across the editorial and publishing teams, and also saw Finder Australia CEO, Chris Ellis, built redundant. Ellis later confirmed he would leave the business following a transition period and shift into an advisory role.
The redundancy rounds have coincided with broader leadership alters at the company.
Co-founder Fred Schebesta, who is currently listed as a founder and “internet rockstar” at Finder, stepped back from day-to-day leadership in 2022. Co-founder Jeremy Cabral exited the business in 2025, while co-founder Frank Restuccia is the current CEO.
Tegan Jones previously worked at Finder.
