Role Description

Dropbox is evolving its business offering for small and medium-sized teams—what we’re calling Dropbox Business 2.0. We’re seeking a portfolio PM to own the end-to-end strategy across multiple product swim lanes (activation, expansion, admin, collaboration surfaces, etc.), ensuring the system fits together coherently and delivers compounding value for teams.

Responsibilities
  • Own the portfolio strategy for Dropbox’s Teams & Collaboration experience—set vision, craft a multi-year roadmap, and align multiple product/engineering/design streams behind clear objectives.
  • Evolve definition of “collaboration at Dropbox.” Lead discovery and validation to specify the MVP and evolution of  collaboration  and sharing features
  • Ensure system coherence. Review and reconcile plans across activation, expansion, admin, and collaboration surfaces to prevent overlap, resolve conflicts, and create a unified end-to-end experience.
  • Drive execution at scale. Translate strategy into crisp bets and milestones; set success metrics; run data-informed prioritization; unblock teams; hold the bar on product quality and consistency.
  • Champion the customer. Partner with Research, Design, Data, Support, and GTM to deeply understand SMB team needs and validate solutions through iterative testing.
  • Orchestrate cross-functional alignment. Build tight partnerships with Eng Directors/Leads and Design; coordinate with Security/Privacy, Identity, Billing, and other platform groups when changes cut across surfaces.
  • Deliver growth outcomes. Work with activation/expansion owners on seamless team creation, invitations, onboarding, and collaborative “aha” moments that drive adoption and retention.
  • Mentor and raise the bar. Informally coach other PMs; model high-craft PRDs, decision memos, and strategy narratives.
Requirements
  • 10+ years total experience with 8+ years in Product Management, including ownership of complex, multi-surface products.
  • Demonstrated success leading a portfolio or multi-product area (multiple teams/squads) as a senior/principal IC—setting strategy while driving execution through influence.
  • B2B SaaS experience with meaningful exposure to SMB/team products (e.g., collaboration, productivity, workflow, or communications).
  • Proven ability to ship net-new 0→1 as well as scale 1→N features in a live product with iterative learning loops.
  • Strong systems thinking and product sense; adept at identifying seams and dependencies across admin, identity/permissions, sharing, notifications, and content.
  • Data-driven decision making: defines metrics, designs experiments, and blends quant + qual to converge on the right product outcomes.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication; can align executives and multiple teams with clear narratives and rigorous trade-off reasoning.
  • Track record working closely with Engineering and Design partners to navigate technical constraints and deliver elegant solutions.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Built or scaled collaboration features (tasks, assignments, due dates, reminders/notifications, lightweight workflows) integrated with content or file systems.
  • Experience in activation, invitations, and team formation funnels; driving expansion/retention through collaborative “moments of value.”
  • Background with multi-tenant admin needs (roles/permissions, auditability), identity & access management, and/or billing/entitlements in SaaS.
  • Led cross-org programs that touched platform teams (e.g., notifications, search, sharing, security/privacy).
  • Familiarity with the SMB collaboration landscape (e.g., productivity, project/task tools) and how to position a differentiated offering.
  • Prior success influencing director+ stakeholders and presenting portfolio trade-offs at the exec level.
