DocuSign cut 440 jobs on February 6, 2024, shedding 6% of its roughly 7,300-person workforce as part of a restructuring aimed at improving financial and operational efficiency. The reductions fell hardest on sales and marketing, the two largest cost centers in the e-signature company's business. Management said the plan would be largely complete by the end of its second fiscal quarter of 2025, and DocuSign projected restructuring charges of $28 million to $32 million, most hitting in fiscal Q1 2025. The company maintained its quarterly and full-year guidance despite the announcement, framing the cuts as support for multi-year growth as an independent public company. No executive quotes were made public alongside the announcement.
