What the job involves
- Dropbox is looking for a Senior Director of Product Management - Multi Product Ecosystem to define and lead the multi-product vision, strategy, and execution for how users discover, activate, and engage across the full Dropbox ecosystem

- You will operate as a senior individual contributor, driving strategy and execution hands-on while establishing the foundation for a new multi-product product team you will eventually build and lead
- Reporting to the VP of Product Management, Core, you will partner closely with C-level executives and cross-functional leaders across Engineering, Design, Research, Data Science, Marketing, and GTM to shape the future of our multi-product ecosystem and ensure long-term engagement, value creation, and customer success
- Define and evangelize the multi-product vision, strategy, and roadmap for Dropbox Core (FSS), ensuring users can intuitively discover, adopt, and benefit from all Dropbox products within a unified platform experience
- Architect the system, navigation, and cross-product interfaces that power seamless interaction across the Dropbox ecosystem, enabling scalable expansion and new product integration
- Collaborate deeply with senior leadership (CEO, CTO, CMO, GM Core) to align product direction with company strategy, customer needs, and long-term business goals
- Leverage data, user insights, and research to identify friction points, inform strategic prioritization, and drive meaningful improvements in activation, engagement, and multi-product retention

- Operate as a senior IC to start, driving clarity, alignment, and execution in a highly ambiguous, foundational space
- Establish the operating model, product principles, and org structure required to scale a dedicated multi-product team; recruit and lead this team over time
- Champion strong product craft and a customer-first mindset to ensure Dropbox delivers cohesive, intuitive, and high-value multi-product experiences
- Serve as a strategic thought partner to Core leadership, influencing critical product decisions and representing multi-product strategy across the company
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.
