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.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
