Role Description

At Dropbox, we’re modernizing our Finance technology stack to deliver scalable, automated, and insight-driven operations. We’re looking for a Director of Finance Systems to lead this transformation and ensure our core platforms — including Oracle ERP, EPM, OAC, and integrated tools — provide a reliable foundation for Accounting, FP&A, Treasury, and Tax.

In this role, you’ll define the long-term Finance Systems roadmap and lead the execution of high-quality, predictable system improvements. You’ll serve as the primary connection between Finance, Engineering, Salesforce, and Integration teams, ensuring clear priorities, strong communication, and alignment across functions.

You’ll also own the control environment for Finance systems, ensuring SOX compliance, secure access, and disciplined change management. We’re looking for a strategic thinker who can zoom out to architect scalable solutions, while staying close enough to the details to ensure delivery excellence and operational reliability.

Virtual First

Dropbox’s Virtual First way of working is designed to help people do their best work with flexibility, autonomy, and connection. Day to day, teams work remotely with nonlinear schedules and core collaboration hours that support deep focus and individual working styles. We prioritize asynchronous communication to improve clarity, respect deep work time, and reduce unnecessary meetings. While remote work is the primary experience for our employees, we also prioritize intentional, in-person connection. We bring teams together through regular team gatherings, on-demand workspaces, and Dropbox Neighborhood events in order to strengthen team cohesion, foster creativity, and enhance momentum. Virtual First is built to provide the same access to opportunity, growth, and impact for everyone, regardless of location.

This role requires travel to offsites and various other team gatherings (approximately 5-10% of the year or 2-3 days per quarter). We provide advance notice when possible and encourage candidates to discuss any accommodation needs during the interview process.

Dropbox supports responsible use of AI for preparation, but misrepresentation of skills or experience is not permitted. See our AI Principles.

Dropbox is an equal opportunity employer. We are a welcoming place for everyone, and we do our best to make sure all people feel supported and connected at work.
