What the job involves
- At Dropbox, people are our greatest asset. The People Analytics team has grown alongside Dropbox to help our leaders make more informed decisions on identifying, attracting, developing, and retaining top level talent
- We are searching for a Manager of People Analytics Tableau Dashboards to drive the strategy for developing a cohesive suite of HR and Recruiting dashboards for our internal customers
- Specifically, this role will be responsible for evolving current dashboard capabilities and translating complex data insights into accessible, actionable, and visual tools that empower business leaders and our People Team to make data-informed decisions
- Design, develop, and maintain suite of People Analytics dashboards to support internal customers in visualizing key workforce metrics (e.g., retention, engagement, DEI, hiring)
- Manage a small but high-impact team of full-time developers, acting as a player / coach to tackle the breadth of data visualization priorities
- Drive the strategy for evolving suite of People dashboards beyond their foundational state, with a strong point of view on utilizing advanced analytics tools, AI capabilities, and statistical methods to translate data into visually compelling, easy-to-understand insights
- Oversee dashboard and data warehouse functionality, working closely with IT and data engineering teams to ensure data quality, data governance, and system integrity
- Collaborate with People Team and business teams to fully understand customer needs and pain points, using customer feedback to scope enhancements, new dashboards, and longer-term dashboard roadmap
- Provide mentorship and development opportunities to team members, helping them build skills in data visualization, analysis, and adoption of emerging capabilities (e.g., AI)
- Ensure the integrity, accuracy, and confidentiality of HR and Recruiting data, adhering to relevant data privacy and security policies and regulations
Our take
Dropbox started by helping people bring together their files in one central place. The contents of these folders are synchronised to Dropbox's servers along with other computers and devices where the user has installed Dropbox, keeping the same files up-to-date across all devices.
Nowadays, there are lots of competing companies in cloud storage, and some with better distribution (e.g. Google and Apple). This explains why Dropbox is making a big push to reinvent itself after a fairly disappointing run since its IPO in 2018. The new Dropbox turns folders into "Spaces", which are collaboration hubs for teams, complete with comment streams, artificial intelligence tools and integrations into services such as Slack.
The company continues to build out its offerings through acquisitions, such as that of Formswift, bolstering its end-to-end agreement workflow capabilities. Indeed, It's very clear that Dropbox is trying to make a big move from being just a storage company. This seems to be a necessary move given the competitive nature of the industry it is operating within.

Company values
- Be Worthy of Trust - Millions of teams trust us with their most important information. But this trust can vanish in an instant. That’s why integrity is the foundation of our culture. We do the right thing, even when nobody’s looking. And we’re honest—even when it’s uncomfortable
- They win, We win - Our customers come first. So we put in the work to deeply understand them. We ask, “Who’s the customer?” and “What do they really need?” When they succeed, our business (and everything else) falls into place
- Keep it Simple - Simple things work better—and make more sense. So we build products that do a few things really well. And we don’t overcomplicate life at Dropbox, whether it’s a plan or a process. Getting to simple isn’t always easy, but it’s worth the effort
- Own it - We take responsibility for our work, from start to finish. When we get stuck, we unblock ourselves. When something goes wrong, we don’t ask, “What did they screw up?” but “What could I do better?” We learn from our mistakes and keep going—until we have real impact
- Make work Human - Our mission is to design a more enlightened way of working, for Dropboxers and the world. So we make products that prioritize our needs as humans. And we build a compassionate culture where you can do your best work—no matter who you are or where you’re from
