Staff Product Manager

Role Description

Dropbox is seeking a Staff Product Manager to lead the strategy and execution of Dash’s core surfaces—spanning desktop, mobile, and browser extension. Dash is Dropbox’s universal search and organizational assistant, helping people find, organize, and act on their work through powerful, AI-driven experiences.

In this role, you’ll shape how users engage with Dash across every touchpoint—defining how our assistant shows up contextually, seamlessly, and intelligently across platforms. You’ll own the cross-surface experience strategy, ensuring Dash feels cohesive and deeply useful no matter where people work.

This is a high-impact, 0→1 role at the center of Dropbox’s AI transformation. You’ll explore new interaction models, drive system-wide consistency, and push the boundaries of what AI can do for productivity across modalities and devices.

• Drive alignment across teams and functions, advocating for a unified multi-surface experience that reinforces Dash’s value across the Dropbox ecosystem.
• Define success metrics, measure impact, and drive iteration through experimentation and disciplined execution.
• Act as a thought leader—mentoring other PMs, contributing to the AI product strategy, and representing the Surfaces perspective in cross-company initiatives.

Requirements

• 10+ years of product management experience, including ownership of complex, multi-platform product initiatives.
• Proven success building and shipping AI-powered or cross-platform products at scale—ideally in productivity, SaaS, or consumer software.
• Strong product instincts and design sense, particularly for mobile and desktop experiences.
• Experience working in 0→1 environments with high ambiguity and rapid iteration.
• Deep understanding of user workflows and pain points, informed by research, data, and competitive analysis.
• Excellent communication and storytelling skills; able to inspire teams and influence senior stakeholders.
• Passion for the future of work, AI, and creating tools that help people focus and do their best work.

Preferred Qualifications
