• Expand Dropbox’s impact in the market – Identify opportunities in the SMB and mid-market security space, craft a clear product vision, and accelerate adoption with a differentiated value proposition.
• Deliver breakthrough product experiences – Partner with engineering and design to launch automated access reviews, AI-powered security insights, and compliance workflows that raise the bar on security.
• Turn insights into action – Work directly with customers to uncover their toughest data governance and AI security challenges, and translate those needs into high-impact product features.
• Drive seamless execution – Collaborate across engineering, security, compliance, and go-to-market teams to launch products that meet global standards (SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, etc.) and delight customers.

Requirements

• Hands-on Security Product Expertise – 10+ years of product management experience, including 3+ years building solutions in Access Governance, DLP, DSPM, SSPM, or AI Security.
• BS/MS in Computer Science, Engineering, Business, Information Systems, Applied Math or Statistics, or relevant experience.
• Deep Domain Knowledge – Experience tackling data and IP protection challenges, especially in Access Management and DLP for Google Workspace, Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, or similar SaaS platforms.
• Customer-First Mindset – Passion for solving real customer pain points, with a track record of shipping security products that are powerful yet simple to use.
• Proven 0 → 1 Builder – You’ve taken security products from idea to launch, driving adoption and impact in environments ranging from enterprise SaaS to fast-moving startups.
• AI + Security Innovation – Experience applying AI/ML to security challenges—automating access controls, detecting risks, and strengthening data protection.
• Cross-Functional Partner – Comfortable working side by side with engineering, security, GTM, and legal teams, blending technical know-how with product vision to ship great outcomes.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in building and scaling data ingestion systems and data platforms,
• Experience working with AI/SaaS products or platforms such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and understanding of data security risks with using AI and SaaS products.

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.
