    About this role

    Role Description

    This role goes beyond traditional account expansion. You’ll be responsible for building and scaling how we sell across new use cases and buying centers within our install base and with net new customers. You’ll work through ambiguity to identify what resonates with customers, what drives real outcomes, and how we can create repeatable success.

    You will operate at the intersection of execution and problem-solving, closing business while helping shape our sales motion, messaging, and approach.

    This is an opportunity to have a direct impact on how Dropbox grows its next generation of products, with high visibility across GTM leadership.
